Anti-Semitism

Anti-Semitism is prejudice towards, hatred of, or discrimination against Jews as a national, ethnic, religious or racial group. The term was coined in Germany in 1860 as a scientific-sounding term for Judenhass ("Jew-hatred") and does not refer to Non-Jewish Semites. Anti-Semitism takes many forms, ranging from hateful words uttered to individual Jews to organized violent attacks by mobs, state police, or even military attacks on entire Jewish communities.

What was a result of widespread anti-Semitism in Europe in the late 1800s?

A few examples are: the Kishinev pogrom, the Bialystock pogrom, the Beilis trial and the

Dreyfus affair (details in Wikipedia).

The results included the loss of rich sources of ingenuity, moral and ethical standards,

and cultural diversity, at the very time when that continent could least afford it, as well

as great numbers of under-educated, poor, and under-employed Jews, plus waves of

emigrant ones and piles of dead ones.

Why did blacks hate Jews?

they don't. probably a minority do.

I know some black jewish people.

There are some Blacks who hate Jews, usually as a result of the teachings of Nation of Islam (which is a distinct religion from Sunni or Shiite Islam) or because of the teachings of certain sects of Baptist Christianity. Both of these particular religions teach that Jews are demonic. Other Blacks who hate Jews come from Black Israelite Churches who see Jews as imposters and themselves as the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Finally, some Blacks associate Jews with the White Elite in the United States and other countries that have traditionally kept Blacks in a position of inferiority. While there certainly were Jews in support of racist institutions, Jews have supported African-Americans through the Civil Rights Movement and have actively worked together with African-American communities as a fellow minority in America.

Is it safe to wear a Star of David necklace in Europe?

Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands (Holland), and Great Britain are considered some of the least anti-Semitic nations in the world. Because of this, they are probably the safest countries in Europe for a Jew (or non-Jew) to wear a Star of David necklace in public. In general though, it would really depend upon which local areas within each European nation one plans to visit. Why? Because the most dangerous areas would be where a large percentage of Muslim immigrants reside. This is true throughout most of continental Europe. So if a traveler is careful enough to avoid the various different urban neighborhoods and regional districts where there is a high percentage of Muslims, a Jewish (or non-Jewish) tourist could probably travel around wearing a Star of David with little to no risk at all. Since the rural areas of Europe are relatively free of Muslim immigrants, they would also be the least dangerous places for a Jew to wear the Star of David openly in public.

Unfortunately, anti-Semitism is once again on the rise in Europe after experiencing historical lows in the decades following World War II. Indeed, the many nations of Europe were, in fact, put to shame about their centuries of Jew-hating after the gruesome details of the Nazi Holocaust became available to the public. For many years the European people made a special effort to educate the younger generations about the undeniably evil atrocities committed by Nazi Germany against the Jewish people. Tragically, the youth of Europe see World War II as the distant past that has nothing to do with them. In addition, the virulent hatred of Jews that many Muslim immigrants have brought with them to Europe rubs off on those citizens that would normally be quite tolerant towards the Jews.

So is it safe enough in Europe for a person to wear a Star of David around their neck? Probably not in Muslim neighborhoods, and when it comes to places without any Muslims, it is still not near as safe as it used to be.

Why is anti-Semitism wrong?

It isnt.

You are an ignoramus, Antisemitism is horribly wrong and when freely practiced is a hate crime.

Antisemitism is wrong because it is the outright hatred of the Jewish population solely because they are Jewish.

In World War II Hitler was an Antisemitic. And the atrocities that he committed (IE. the treatment of the Jews in concentration camps like Auschwitz) were definitely hate crimes. If you, the asker, are dumb enough to agree with the first statement on this fact then I think its time you took a look at these places. Here is a link to Auschwitz.

Did Hitler really believe in God and Jesus and if so why would he be anti semitic if Jesus was a Jew as a Christian I don't understand this?

Hitler tended to talk about providence. He may have had some belief in the supernatural, but there's much more to being a Christian than that. He may have talked about Christianity in order to keep the Catholics on his side. There are some mis-guided Chrisitians that belive in persecuting the Jews because they were responsible for the execution of Jesus Christ. Confusing, yes.

What role did eugenics play in the convincing the German people to hate the Jews?

Eugenics is not inherently antisemitic. For example, in Britain some eugenists were very impressed with the performance of Jewish kids at school, and drew completely different conclusions. I think there is a tendency to attach undue significance to the role of ideology in this case. What's more, Jews were not widely hated in Germany, except possibly in Bavaria. Before the Nazis came to power, Jews in Germany and abroad regarded the country as a good place to live in. If the Germans had been gripped by real hatred of the Jews, there would have been no need to try to keep the Holocaust secret.

Why did the Egyptians Romans and later Hitler hate the Jews Why are these people the most hated in history?

The ancient Egyptians actually did not hate Jews, and archeology has suggested that the Jews weren't even slaves, just workers.

As for the Romans and Hitler, it was probably because the Jews were a minority with different beliefs and a different culture from the majority. The Jews did not have their own country anymore during World War II, and were scattered across Europe, but they did not give up on their culture, and therefore a lot of people thought they did not fit in, and since they weren't Christian and Europe had been very religious for centuries before, the Jewish people were seen as different, and those who are different are very often treated badly. Hitler not only hated Jews, he also hated Gypsies, homosexuals and handicapped people. I think the centuries long hatred for Jews was all because the Jews did not have their own country, so they instead lived in other countries and never gave up on their culture, so they became outcasts.
