Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary online edition
m-w.com
defines anti-Semitism as:

Main Entry: an·ti-Sem·i·tism
Pronunciation: "an-ti-'se-m&-"ti-z&m, "an-"tI-
Function: noun
Date: 1882
: hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group
- an·ti-Se·mit·ic /-s&-'mi-tik/ adjective
- an·ti-Sem·ite /-'se-"mIt/ noun

My printed edition of Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary has the same definition. When you redefine the term as the opposite of its accepted meaning, the implication is that you are playing intellectually dishonest games.
