Ishmael, a descendant of Arphaxas, a son of Shem, would himself have been a Semite, although his spouses may not have been. In any case, I rarely use the term anti-Semite. I prefer Judeophobe.

Ishmael’s mother was Hagar, an Egyptian and Hamite. Ishmael’s wife was herself Egyptian (Hamite). Thus, Ishmael’s descendants’ claims to being descendants of Shem more than Ham become very small.

That is probly a better term since I believe the term 'semite' of the tribe of Shem(p) covers both the jews AND the Arabs.
