Should anti-semitism include other ethnicities who are semitic?

I don’t see why not, if Jewishness is an ethnicity then it would fall under “racism” but anti semitism refers to prejudice and hatred of Jewish people but I think it should apply to all semitic people, not just Jews. It should include Arabs in my opinion and Palestinians. There’s currently a lot of prejudice against arabs and Palestinians which escapes through the cracks because there is no term for hatred or prejudice against them.Plus there’s a tricky spot of Jews who have historically converted to Islam. Are we really going to deny their Jewish heritage because they’re Muslim?
