Philo-Semitism is the polar opposite of anti-Semitism. The term signifies a distinct admiration of the Jewish people, their history, and their culture. Non-Jewish Zionists are generally philo-Semites.[1] Most non-Jewish conservatives are philo-Semites.[2]
President Donald John Trump has become notorious for his fervent Zionism and philo-Semitism[3][4][5] (see Essay:Anti-Semitism in 2019, Debate:Should Trump Outlaw Holocaust Denial in the United States?). This is why most white supremacists and other extremists dislike, and often despise him[6] (see Essay:Extremists on Both Sides Hate Trump). Many other populists are Zionists and philo-Semites as well.[7][8][9][10]
A derogatory term used by anti-Semites to describe philo-Semites is, "Jew-lover."[11]
