I'm seeing "antisemitic" written "antisemetic" so many times lately, but I think only the first one is right. I'm no native speaker though.
At least you’re not being anti-semantic
I’m guessing that you’re seeing the latter because a lot of people tend to pronounce it that way
You are correct.
Remember kids, the singular is semite, not semete. Hence, sem_i_tic, with an i.
whoops
Looks like you're right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitic_trope
Actually the first one is left. Unless you write right to left, like in semitic languages. Hehe.
