Tumblr said "antisemitism" means discrimination against all Semitic people including Jews, Muslims, and Arabs, and that calling the discrimination towards Jewish people antisemitism is incorrect and should be "Judeophobia".
Does "antisemitism" apply towards Muslims and Arabs now?

Antisemitism as a word was coined by antisemites to make it sound scientific... Anyway, Antijudaism would usually refer to religiously motivated anti-Jewish sentiment, antisemitism usually refers to more general or ethnicity/culture-related anti-Jewish sentiment
Anti-Arab sentiment is called Anti-Arabism or Arabophobia
