As an aside, can other groups get a name too? AntiBlack, AntiWhite, AntiAsian .... what's their version of "semitism" in the vernacular? Why is only one group so special?

It's a pretty common formulation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Catholicism_in_...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Protestantism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti%E2%80%93Middle_...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Japanese_sentim...

...though obviously not universal. There are plenty of alternative formulations, like the "-phobia" suffix ("homophobia" or "Islamophobia") or the "mis-" prefix ("misogyny" or "misandry"). But the "anti-" prefix isn't just limited to anti-semitism.
