"Robert Seeberger"

<<If I say "Jeroen is anti-semitic", I could actually be trying to
convey one of several meanings.
-That Jeroen disagrees with the politics of the State of Israel.
-That Jeroen is a person who hates Jews.
-That Jeroen displays opinions that are seemingly prejudiced against
Jews.
But there are contexts where anti-semite would mean exactly what Jeroen
wants it to mean:
-That Jeroen doesn't like middle-easterners.>>

It's "Jeroen displays opinions that are seemingly prejudiced against
Israel" usually that is. His reaction to the start of *this* thread was
amusing.
