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 is the difference between traditional anti-semitism and the racist anti-semitism of the Nazis?
The Nazis were not the first group to engage in Racial Anti-Semitism, it was actually developed during the period of Queen Isabella of Spain during the Inquisition. The common Anti-Semitic canard here is that Jews are somehow genetically inferior or lesser than other humans. Hitler argued that they were deficient emotionally as well as mentally. In the European context, this racism was directed at Jews, arguing that as Semites (Middle Eastern people) they were not as well-developed as Whites. In the case of Racial Anti-Semitism, by dint of being a Jew, a person is inferior and there is nothing that this person can do to become an acceptable citizen. The only change Hitler made to this paradigm was to add Social Darwinism to this and argue that the inferiority was genetic as opposed to "blood-borne".
Religious Anti-Semitism, which had previously existed faulted the Jews for being horrible as a result of the inculturation that their religion gave to them. Therefore, the Jew could lose his improper behavior and actions simply by converting out of Judaism and into the dominant religion (Christianity or Islam). Judaism was at the root of the problem, not being a Jew by blood.
Legalized anti-semitic discrimination in Germany following World War 2?

When and if you disagree with a Jewish person why does he-she label you as anti-Semitic?
Answer
He shouldn't, unless you disagreed based upon any anti-Semitic views you have. Such labeling is as narrow-minded as being labeled a racist for disagreeing with a black person.
Anti-Semitism is defined as "a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities."
A genuine disagreement between a Jew and a non-Jew would not be considered anti-Semitic unless hatred of Jews was expressed.
Minorities targeted by pogroms in Russia in the late 1800s?

Why do people believe that the Catholic Church and all Catholics hate Jews?
The Catholic Church was once a major contributor of Anti-Semitism. The most harmful propaganda blamed Jews for "killing Jesus" and it was spread throughout the world for over a thousand years. Until recently, children learned it in school and adults learned it at mass.
This was publicly retracted by the Catholic Church around the 1960's (apologies were issued, etc.) and the practice has since been banned. But many people still hold all Jews accountable for the death of Jesus and while it's no longer taught within the church, it's something that some families still pass onto their children.
Jews understand that not all Catholics still feel this way and that times are changing. But it's a slow change and it's simply going to take longer than 50 years to undo over 1900 years of hatred ... Sure enough, it's happening --at least among the Catholic Church as the Pope continues his open dialogue with Israel.
Unfortunately, many Protestant groups as well as a few other religions will likely continue to spread this belief.
How did anti-semitism start in World War 2?
Racism is not just one thing. It has been defined in many different ways over the years and from nation to nation and culture to culture. There are about as many different definitions of this term as there are people with opinions about it.
Functionally speaking, racism formally began when there was a common acceptance of the idea of race itself (circa 1600s).
The power dynamics and systematic and other forms of discrimination based on how people interpreted race existed long before the terms "race" or "racism" were ever coined. Long before racism became a word, there has been oppression which (like racism) is not merely about when one person hurts another person, but involve a structural or systematic use of cruel authority or power of one group over another.

What did Hitler's hate campaign have to do with the Jews?

Why did Hitler try to get everyone to hate the Jews?
Actually, Hitler hated all races except for the German race because he only wanted Germans on this Earth because they followed him and he thought with their help, he could rule the world. But in the end, it turned out that Hitler was Jewish, and that meant that he killed many of his race.
Also, he hated Jews because of his creative ambitions being rejected by the Jews and so forth. In political power he wanted peer blood without the Jewish faith or ethnicity (example of ethnic- Ashkenazic Jews). He wanted a total Aryan race he called it. The Jews were different, had it been any other faith it is still easy to presume he would have hated them just the same for his own gain.
As well as that, Jews are often a community inside a community which can make them easy targets for pointing the finger at when it came to politics even if the accusations are far-fetched.
What is the difference between Christian anti-Judaism and Nazi racial antisemitism?
The fundamental difference between Christian Anti-Semitism and Nazi Racial Anti-Semitism is a question of redeemability. The former held that the "problem with the Jew" was that he professed a different religion, specifically one whose contribution to history was made obsolete by the coming of Christ and whose adherents crucified the Lord. As a result, a Jew could be converted to Christianity and his soul would be elevated to higher ranks with all other Christian souls. This "lightly" tempered the hand of Christian Anti-Semites since the Jew need not be dead for the "problem" to cease. The latter held that the Jew was genetically/racial/physically an inferior species of creature, in much the same way that chimpanzees are inferior to humans in intelligence. As a result, the only thing that could be done about Jews was to either quarantine them (ghettos), expel them, or (as the Nazis did) exterminate them like vermin.
No, he was partly Jewish himself in fact. He said anti-Semitism as we know it today is a product of capitalism and is another barrier to be overcome in creating working-class unity.

The reason provided can differ between different forms of Anti-Semitism, ranging from genetic inferiority to negative cultural values.

Catholics do not hate Jews. If you ever come across a so-called ''Catholic'' who hates Jews then you are most likely dealing with a person whose opinions have nothing to do with their religion. It all comes down to their personal opinions. ---- Another answer: it is safe to say that any Catholic who is so unfortunate as to hate Jews - or anyone - does so because they allowed serious sin into their hearts. The Catholic Church teaches that any of its members who are guilty of the grevious sin of hating a fellow human being must repent of this sin, and ask forgiveness in the Sacrament of Penance.
