    The term was coined as a word for hatred of Jewish people. There was no existing meaning to take away. If someone is racist against Arabs, call them racist against Arabs. Quibbling over definitions just comes off like you don’t have a better argument, especially when you’re wrong about the definitions. Being racist against Arabs isn’t bad because it’s antisemitic, it’s bad because racism is bad.
