I don't wish to seem defensive of Militant, with I whom share little
comon ground, but surely there is nothing "idiosyncratic" about
deferentiating between Semites and Jews, esp if you support the
Palestinians. The definition of semite is far wider than merely "jew",
though that limited usage has become common.
