Semitic people or Semites is a term for an ethnic, cultural or racial group associated with people of the Middle East and the Horn of Africa, including Akkadians (Assyrians and Babylonians), Arabs, Arameans, Canaanites (Ammonites, Edomites, Israelites, Moabites, Phoenicians, and Philistines) and Habesha peoples. Semitism has nothing (NOTHING) to do with religion. Being Jewish does not make you a Semite. Anyone can convert to Judaism. Net & Yahoo is a perfect example of a Jew who is not a Semite. Being able to speak Hebrew does not make you a Semite. Eva Marie Saint is not a Semite. On the other hand Yahya Sinwa, Anwar Sadat, Bashar al-Assad, Joseph Aoun, and Hillel the Elder are all Semites.
