Why are jews hated by other races?

The question implies that Jews are a race, and that hatred of Jews is built into other races. As a matter of fact, race is a social construct with no clear biological basis, and hatred taught, not inherited through any genetic mechanism. There are Jews of every race, and there are people of every race who do not hate Jews. Sadly, there are those who hate Jews, and some of them define their hatred in racial terms.

How has antisemitism changed?

Christian antisemitism, the dominant form from the time of the crusades to the 19th century, discriminated against Jews because they were responsible for killing God and had rejected the Gospels. By the late 19th century, a new conspiracy-centered and secular antisemitism arose, holding that Jews were secretly attempting to control the world and all the world's wealth. With the rise in racial thinking in the late 18th century, Jews were considered to be a separate racial category, but in the late 19th century, a second secular antisemitism arose that focused on Jews as being racially inferior while masquerading as whites and threatening to poison the purity of the white race.

What are Secular Jews?

The term 'Secular Jew' is not strictly defined, but refers to Jews who maintain cultural links but do not follow religious observances. Many Jewish Israelis feel that being Israeli and speaking Hebrew are in themselves a sufficient expression of Judaism without any religious observances. A Central Bureau of Statistics survey in Israel has shown that 44 per cent of Jews in the country over the age of 20 define themselves as 'secular'. Secular Judaism is interpreted slightly differently amongst diaspora Jews, where some 'Secular Jews' continue to follow nominal religious traditions.
