Misosemitism: An Original Coinage

This document introduces and establishes the original coinage misosemitism — a term denoting the dehumanisation, ethnic contempt, or systemic discrimination directed at any people within the Semitic family, whether perpetrated from outside the group or among its members. The document sets out the term's etymology, precise definition, and rationale for its necessity, arguing that the existing lexicon contains no equivalent term of sufficient precision. The coinage is parallel to antisemitism while restoring the full etymological scope that term has historically foreclosed, extending the same moral standard and demand for human dignity to all peoples of the Semitic family without exclusion or hierarchy.
