Why is it called anti-Semitism and not anti-Judaism?
Prudence Stiedemann
The words antisemitism and antisemite were coined in the late 19th century to replace the older German word "judenhass" which means "hatred of Jews." The idea was to create a modern scientific-sounding term that could be used in polite society and was in line with the then-current ideas of scientific racism. The man who coined the word was himself a proud antisemite. The entire idea of the coinage shifted the discussion from opposing Judaism as a religion to opposing Jews as a race. It is very clear that right-wing antisemites today continue to define Jews as a race, exactly in line with the original intent of this term.
