But that's not a misspelling of antisemite; it's a whole different word, and as far as I know, is only the name of a record company.

The Arab Spring rocked north Africa more than the ME, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Egypt all had massive changes. Only really Syria did in the ME.

Iraq, and Yemen are both having a civil war as well. Lebanon is dealing with the spillover of the Syrian Civil War. Several other countries have had major governmental changes. The Arab Spring most certainly affected the Asian part of the Arab world.

Between uprisings or protests in Beirut, Oman, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia (all put down, Bahrain's still somewhat ongoing), democratic stirrings in Iran, outright civil war in Yemen, outright civil war and near disintegration of the state in Syria and Iraq, constant fighting in Kurdistan, increased terrorism/political upheavals in Turkey, the formation of Islamic State, and the massive refugee crisis... I'd say that it affected the Middle East *more* than North Africa. Also Egypt is almost always included in the Middle East in addition to being part of North Africa.

True, but "anti-semitism" is used to refer to hatred of Jewish people specifically. It's similar to how "homophobia" doesn't mean "fear of sameness."

Not as far as I know. In pizzerie all over Europe the second choice on the menu after pizza Margherita is generally pizza Napoli/napoletana and this one is definitely with anchovies. The pizza al tonno comes later....

I'd agree, but since I've never seen either tuna or sardines in a Caesar's salad...
