Edit Request under the "21st-Century European antisemitism" Header
Hello,
Under the 21st-Century European antisemitism header is the following claim:
"This rise in antisemitic attacks is associated with both the Muslim anti-Semitism and the rise of far-right political parties as a result of the economic crisis of 2008.[219] This rise in the support for far right ideas in western and eastern Europe has resulted in the increase of antisemitic acts, mostly attacks on Jewish memorials, synagogues and cemeteries but also a number of physical attacks against Jews.[220]"
Neither of the sources cited support that claim. In the first case, citation [219] (shown here: [1] ), there is a dead link; I've tried searching for the article online but I haven't come up with anything, i.e. I can't find the original nor can I find any copies of the article in question, or indeed anything citing the original article. In the second case, citation [220] (shown here: [2] ), the cited ADL report does not substantiate the claim made. The ADL report is a survey of attitudes towards Jews among various major European nations. The questions in the report deal mostly with belief in Jewish stereotypes and perceptions of Jews. It does not include anything about the far right, still less anything about actual attacks on Jews.
This being the case, the claim made is a bare claim. As it stands, the claim looks like speculation to me (albeit plausible speculation, although that's not the standard of proof for Wikipedia as far as I know). The claim needs to be either properly substantiated or, in the event that no proof can be supplied, removed.

I would like to add an external link from an American magazine. The article first appeared in 1915 and seeks to explain the anti-semitism that existed in W.W.

Change from Antisemitism to Antijewism
In the description it is written that it was first introduced in the mid 1800s by a jewish man from Germany. And no arab stepped his foot in Germany in the 1800s. This term was ok for up until now. This term have lost it's logical value, it is illogical. As there are other semites, arabs in palestine and in whole remaining world, who are very hostile against jews. Those arabs are hostile not because jews are semites, otherwise it would be very ridiculous. They are hostile due to a political reasons. I would to change the term to antijewism, or antijudaism if used in a religious context, as judaism is practiced mainly by jews and if outsider wants to accept it, he/she should go through very long and hard learning process of learning religion and culture of jews. And if he accomplishes everything well he is still looked upon as the jew of the 2nd, 3rd and etc. rank. My personal suggestion is to not to stick to dictionary definitions. It is ok for dictionaries to have such logical flaws as it gives an interpretation of the term. And even the interpretation is correct, the term cannot be used to point at to arabs as thay are themselves are semites. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.139.137.29 (talk) 20:46, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
- We follow WP:COMMONNAME; anti-Jewish prejudice is overwhelmingly referred to as antisemitism, despite the confusing etymology (which you can incidentally read about in this article). It would be a disservice to our readers to use a different term, as it wouldn't help them to understand what antisemitism does and doesn't mean when they see that term used in other places. signed, Rosguill talk 20:59, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

A semite is specifically a person that speaks a semitic language. Therefore, it is prejudicial to only include Jewish people as Semites. Arabs should also be included in the description. Politics should not play any role in this; please make these changes accordingly. Thank you. Kareem Ebn El Galaa Arab 15:41, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
