Antisemitism

The A B C of Antisemitism in the United States

Antisemitism is not merely a form of hatred; it is a multilayered ideological construct that spans religious narratives, economic myths, racial obsessions, and political manipulation. In Ancient Rome, Jews were marginalized for their monotheistic beliefs. During the Christian era, antisemitism became institutionalized. The myth of the “God killer,” which blamed Jews for the crucifixion of Jesus, laid the groundwork for pogroms, forced baptisms, ghettos, and blood libels throughout medieval Europe.
