-Caveat Lector-
Given that the original
article was in fact "anti-semitic," all I can say is that you can take a
spell-checker to licence, but you can't make it think!
Anyhow, far be it
from me to feel like a pleasant pheasant plucker, and weather or not we
should offer any more textual versus, I prey such gaff's will not
happen again.

It was in fact "thew" who
asked about "anti-semetic" (sic) whilst the original
article was "anti-semitic" although I am led to believe it ought be
anti-Semitic, journalist "license" perhaps?

-Caveat Lector-
It is a common journalistic practice to put a single word or phrase in
quotes (when it is not a direct quotation) to alert the reader that he/she
should not apply the normal meaning to the word or phrase. To the contrary,
it usually means the word should be assigned an entirely different meaning
than the normal one, perhaps just the opposite.
Quotes should not be used to indicate a misspelling, which is true in
this case. The word used should have been anti-semitic, not anti-semetic.
Mispelling is usually indicated by (sic) immediately after the misspelled
word.
As used in the heading to the article below, it is intended to show
that the Israelis think it is anti-semitic but the authors (or at least the
one who wrote the heading who is not necessarily the author) does not think
it is anti-semitic.
