You are making sense. So semites include much more than jews.
There is protection in groups. So the thing is. An individual is mostly not responsible for an abstract group action. At the same time we are responsible to hold our own group responsible. So indirectly every individual not speaking up is responsible.
We tend to criticise the other groups instead of our own groups, so we can talk about "them bad" vs us good, which is never the truth.
We comfort ourselves in lies as it feels unsave to call out our own group that is supposed to guarantee our safety.

Smites, as a scientific term, referes to people who speak in a semitic language.
Antisemitism, as a cultural term, referes tk Jew hating.
No one calls someone who hatsles Syrians an antisemite. Even though Syrians are semites.
People need to speak up against evil regardless of who commits the evil. Al Joliani, the president of Syria, is slaughtering Druz, we should condem it. The president of Mexico is destroying her country, we should condem that too.
As a Jew I don't think I need to condem the President of Mexico more the The president of Syria just because the former happens tk be Jewish.
