Maybe the Iron Law of Woke Projection needs to be updated to add Jews, who are grossly misusing the term "Semitic" to refer only to themselves when it actually refers to a large number of people in the ME, and then accusing others of doing this when their deceit is pointed out.
You are correct that semitic has come to be mainly used to refer to Hebrews and in turn Jews over time even though it means a broader group.
I honestly don't know how that happened but I have a hard time blaming anyone for it. Considering how often they are changing definitions nowadays I see this as a lesser issue but to each his own.
