Answer 1

In a foot note to his famous case study of Little Hans, Sigmund Freud theorized that the most deeply rooted psycho-dynamic cause of antisemitism was a reaction to the ritual of circumcision known as the Brit Milah.

Answer 2

Freud's conjecture is strange in view of the fact that hundreds of millions of Moslems, Africans and Westerners also circumcise.

There is no adequate rational explanation for anti-Semitism. A reason must be sought on a spiritual level.

Answer 3

Anti-Semitism began the same way that ethnic hatreds usually begin. People with territories that border one another become antagonistic towards each other. Anti-Semitism only became a unique violence targeted to Jewish individuals with no military or political standing in the Roman Empire when Christianity began to impose the blood libels on the Jews and found them guilty of killing Jesus Christ for eternity. Islam added to this by claiming that Jews were corrupt and perverted their teachings. Economic and social competition compounded the pre-existing religious grounds for Anti-Semitism and eventually became the dominant forms of Anti-Semitism.
