how to say “antisemitism” in Hebrew

 

אַנְטִישֵׁמִיּוּת

 

 
Tomorrow is יוֹם הַשּׁוֹאָה listen and repeat, Israel’s national Holocaust (Memorial) Day.
 
As we have seen in the past few weeks, antisemitism is alive and well.
 
The Hebrew term for this phenomenon is אַנְטִישֵׁמִיּוּת listen and repeat, which connects the Latin prefix anti– with Semite – שֵׁמִי listen and repeat (literally, a descendant of the Biblical figure שֵׁם listen and repeat– Shem) and Hebrew’s version of the suffix –ism – וּת- listen and repeat.
 
For example:
 
אֵין סִבָּה מֻבְהֶקֶת לָאַנְטִישֵׁמִיּוּת.
There is no clear reason for (the) antisemitism.
