The Torah speaks of three branches of post-Flood mankind: Yefet (Jafeth), Ham, and Shem (the three sons of Noah; Genesis ch.10).
The children of Yefet are (broadly speaking) the Europeans (Caucasians).
The children of Ham include the ancient Egyptians, Canaanites, Nubians, Bantu (and sub-Saharan Africans in general), and many far-flung peoples.
The children of Shem include the ancient Assyrians, Elamites, Arameans, Lyddians, and other Semitic peoples. One group of Semites gave rise to the Arabs, Hebrews, Moabites, Ammonites, Edumeans and others.

Why are people anti-Semitic?

Because they are taught to be that way. Anti-Semitism is just another form of racism and it is quite literally because people are taught to be that way. People in many countries are always scared of people who are different from them. Whether it is skin color, religion, nationality, or culture, people have always found excuses for hating, even killing other people. --- Some believe any criticism of Zionism or Israel is 'anti-Semitic' while others take a more nuanced approach. Some in the larger Semitic community object to the term meaning only 'Jew-hatred', feeling it is an affront to their own Semitic roots. 'Anti-semitism' is not just another form of racism because Semites and Jews are not a racial group. Semites are people who speak a Semitic language (or biblically, descendents of god) and 'Jews' are followers of a religion, not a 'race'. For example, there are Ethiopian (Black) Jews who live in Israel. This makes anti-Semitism more of a cultural bias than a racial bias.

Why did the US ban Jewish immigration?

1) Jews were too strong financially and economically for the United States. Our economy couldn't hold that many people who had such strong financial standerds. 2) People are anti-Semitic ( I don't know why). The above answer is a good example of anti-Semitism and falsehood, since in fact, the Jews who immigrated to the U.S. were as poor as all other newcomers, and only changed their circumstances by dint of hard work and God's blessing.

What was the main goal of the zionist movement?

Being a Zionist only means one thing: Believing that the Jews have a right to an independent State and that this State should be in the Land of Israel. As a result, the main goal of Zionism has consistently been the establishment and maintenance of such a state.Many people incorrectly believe that Zionism refers to the Anti-Semitic depictions of a worldwide Jewish Cabal or some other conspiracy theory. However, that is not what Zionism is.

What is the meaning of Yad Vashem in Hebrew?

Yad VaShem - in Hebrew יד ושם Yad: Memorial (it has also the meaning of Name, Fame, Reputation...)
