The ideology that:
1) The Nation of Israel a) has the right to exist, b) as a Jewish state if it so choses, and c) in peace and harmony with it's neighbors.
2) Jews are inherently equal to all other persons and groups of persons and therefore should be treated as such.
Even though I'm a WASPY gentile, nobody messes with Jews in my presence because my reputation for pro-Semitism is generally known.

1) One who's thoughts and resultant behaviors support and are pursuant to the ideology that:
A) The Nation of Israel has a right to exist,
B) As a Jewish state it it so choses, and
C) In peace and harmony with its neighbors
2) One who - either Jew or Gentile - stands in defiance of oppression against Jews and Judaism in any of its forms: mockery, belittlement, violence, defamation, disparagement etc. and et al.
Because I'm a pro-Semite, I will not work with Mel Gibson unless and until he issues a better apology that THAT!
No, you don't have to be Jewish to be a pro-Semite. You just have to be free from bigotry against Jews, that's all.

Since Semetic is a reference to a diverse group of people that speak Hebrew, Arabic and Amharic regardless of their beliefs. The word basically means; I have no clue who the hell I am promoting
I like Jews. I support Pro Semitism, not Anti Semitism 'Drewls'

Pro-Semitism:
1. An ideology which claims that Jewish people supposedly embody traits anti-semites have historically accused them of, but that these traits are actually positive and that Jews should be praised for embodying them, rather than criticized or discriminated against. Usually this ideology mixes Anti-Semitic overtones into its praise for Jewish people. Occasionally this Pro-Semitism even leads directly toward some forms of discrimination or prejudice against Jews.
2. The (entirely unrelated) ideology that Jews and non-Jews are equal and that both Jews throughout the world and in Israel have a right to exist in harmony with their neighbors and in harmony and peace with everyone throughout the world, and that Israel has a right to exist in peace and harmony with its neighbors as well.
Pro-Semitism Examples
Definition 1. "Jews are so greedy, it is great so many live in America, since their greed makes America's economy thrive! Greed is good!",
"American Jews are so loyal to Israel, all Americans should admire this and strive to be just as loyal to America! We should not elect Jews to public office though, since we have no right to expect them to put America before Israel when they make decisions. Israel is God's chosen nation, so it is only right for them to feel this way, and we should strive to support Israel too. That is God's mission for America, to support Israel during the end times, which are coming soon. Because of that, the Jews' obvious if-unproven mixed-loyalty is no problem."
"Jews are so powerful all over the world, we need them on our side! They are so powerful because they all favor each other financially and in business over outsiders, it's a genius strategy which the citizens of our country should also emulate amongst ourselves so that we can become as powerful as they are!"
"The Talmud is filled to the brim with incredible tips for success in business and finance! Follow these tips, and you too will become almost as successful as a Jew!"
And so on...
Definition 2. Jews are just like everybody else. American Jews are American. Israeli Jews are Israeli. French Jews are French.
