Antisemitism, when the term was coined in 1878 by a German journalist called Wilhelm Marr, he used it as Jew hatred. Look, the problem is, we all know what antisemitism is. It says the Jews are a race. Hitler believed we were a race. Hitler did not distinguish between Jewish converts to Christianity, half Jews or later on quarter Jews. It was about Jewish blood. Our enemies use the term.
