A person who holds such positions is called an "antisemite". It is a form of racism.
While the term's etymology might suggest that antisemitism is directed against all Semitic people, the term was coined in the late 19th century in Germany as a more scientific-sounding term for Judenhass ("Jew-hatred"), and that has been its normal use since then. For the purposes of a 2005 U.S. governmental report, antisemitism was considered "hatred toward Jews—individually and as a group—that can be attributed to the Jewish religion and/or ethnicity."

Any form of racism is bad. Antisemitism is not worse than, say, arresting people for being black, and throwing them into concentration camps. It's all equally wrong. You can't say it's fine to insult the 450 million or so Arab Semites, but not the 14 million Jews. Neither is fine. People are people. Jews aren't the superior race you seem to think they are, they're just people like the rest of us, equally capable of fucking up, and at the end of the day, the religious Jews are still religious nutters just like Muslims and Christains and the rest.

Antisemite is a more contemporary term used to describe jew hating, yes. But from an ethno-linguistic perspective, all semites, to my understanding, are the descendents of Shem. Correctly speaking, this means Arabs and Jews are semitic peoples. The languages certainly grew from the same proto-semitic language cluster and ethnically they're related (as are all humans I suppose). It's all semantics really, but technically arabs are as semitic as jews. Still, to say you love jews sounds kinda weird. I prefer to judge people on invidiual merit, by these rational criteria I can like some people from any ethnic group and despise others from the same ethnic group. I love some jews, I detest others. I love some slavic people, I hate others........quite logical really.
PS it's worth noting that semitic people probably aren't LITERALLY descended from Shem, because these old testement characters are so shrouded in legend and mystery that most of them either never existed at all, or are only very loosely based on real tribal characters from old stories. Following population movements though, the current semitic peoples are loosely related, as demonstrated by genetics studies.
