Anti-Semitism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 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. Today, despite a steady trend of decreasing antisemitism among the population[11], acts of antisemitism have become a serious cause for concern, with increasingly frequent vandalism and desecration of Jewish cemeteries and synagogues, as well as an increase in assaults against Jews[12]. Anti-Semitism (alternatively spelled antisemitism) is hostility towards or prejudice against Jews, which can range from individual hatred to institutionalized violent persecution, of which the highly explicit ideology of Adolf Hitler's Nazism was the most extreme form. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Antisemitism

A New Antisemitism? What we are witnessing today is the second great mutation of antisemitism in modern times, from racial antisemitism to religious anti-Zionism (with the added premise that all Jews are Zionists). Antisemitism exists and is dangerous whenever two contradictory factors appear in combination: the belief that Jews are so powerful that they are responsible for the evils of the world, and the knowledge that they are so powerless that they can be attacked with impunity. Antisemitism is alive, active and virulent in the year 2002, after more than half a century of Holocaust education, inter-faith dialogue, United Nations declarations, dozens of museums and memorials, hundreds of films, thousands of courses, and tens of thousands of books dedicated to exposing its evils. www.axt.org.uk /essays/sacks1.htm   (2459 words)

islam and antisemitism Analyzes the causes of antisemitism and its expressions in the ancient period, in Christianity and later in Islam, differentiating between religious and pseudo-scientific, racial antisemitism after 1800. Antisemitism and persecutions of the Jews are mentioned throughout the historical narrative, from antiquity to the present. Describes the antisemitism of the ancient pagans; of early, medieval, and modern Christians; of "post-Christians" (such as Voltaire who reintroduced the Jew-hatred of the ancient Greeks and Romans); of liberals (who would deny the Jews an autonomous existence); and of socialists and communists from Marx to the rulers of the Soviet Union. sicsa.huji.ac.il /islam.html   (2459 words)

Jewish History Sourcebook: Bernard Lazare: Antisemitism, Its History and Causes, 1894 Considering the unanimity of antisemitic manifestations, it can hardly be admitted, as had too willingly been done, that they were merely due to a religious war, and one must not view the strife against the Jews as a struggle of polytheism against monotheism, or that of the Trinity against Jehovah. There is no antisemitism until the Jews, having abandoned their native land, settle as immigrants in foreign countries and come into contact with natives or older settlers, whose customs, race and religion are different from those of the Hebrews. We shall trace these modifications and variations of antisemitism through the course of ages down to our epoch; and we shall examine whether, in some countries at least, the general causes I have attempted to deduce are still operating, or whether the reasons for modern antisemitism must not be sought elsewhere. www.fordham.edu /halsall/jewish/lazare-anti.html   (2459 words)

lec2b After Christianity became the official religion of the Empire, in the 4th century, and after the birth and spread of Islam in the 7th century, Jews found themselves living as a social, cultural and religious minority among majorities. In the Nazi case, by contrast, the persecution of the Jews was pure, abstract antisemitic ideology in the context of biological racism, and it became a central factor in Hitler’s war against the world. A sacrament and the central act of worship in many Christian churches, which was instituted at the Last Supper and in which bread and wine are consecrated and consumed in remembrance of Jesus's death; Communion. www.u.arizona.edu /~shaked/Holocaust/lectures/lec2b.html   (11886 words)

Holocaust, Part 3 "Christianity from its beginning, tended toward intolerance that was rooted in its religious self-consciousness." It is possible to cite many authorities who confirm that intolerance of Jews is part and parcel of Christianity. A combination of Christian anti-Semitism, racist theories, and Germanic super-nationalistic ethnocentrism reached its zenith in the Nazi era, forming a mixture of lethal volatility that exploded in the flames of the Holocaust. In addition, what Christianity preaches is that Jews, and all others who do not believe in it, should, after death, be punished by horrible torture and ultimate destruction, whereas believers could qualify for a life of everlasting bliss. www.ffrf.org /fttoday/back/hakeem/holocaust3.html   (1235 words)

Holocaust a Result of Christian Antisemitism Modern antisemitism was fueled by religious, socio-economic, and nationalist-racist forces. Medieval Christian antisemitism, which saw the Jew as vile and fearful and Judaism as repulsive--which had stamped the Jew with the mark of Cain--fertilized the soil for modern antisemitism. Theodor Fritsch, the founder of "practical antisemitism," reissued Luther's 1543 advice to the princes in 1931, as part of a catechism of antisemitism. www.hcacentre.org /HolocaustCause.html   (2673 words)

Antisemitism Worldwide 2003/4 - CIS & Baltic States Although religious antisemitism, i.e., the use of Christian antisemitic myths to inflame anti-Jewish feelings, has not been observed in recent years, such materials are imported from Russia and can be bought freely in stores of Pravoslav churches and at kiosks that sell religious articles. The group’s leader is accused of hooliganism, incitement of national, racist or religious hatred, and involving minors in a criminal group. Incitement of national and religious hatred is prohibited by other legal acts, and the country’s Criminal Code determines punishment for actions of this sort. www.tau.ac.il /Anti-Semitism/asw2003-4/cis.htm   (6813 words)

Opinion Survey Research Program JCPA leaders, as compared with the Jewish public, are much more religious, more decidedly in the liberal camp, less concerned about antisemitism, and rather outspoken in their support for the legitimacy of religious influence and participation in the public square. In general, among the Jewish public and JCPA leaders, perceptions of antisemitism are linked to support for church-state separation and a diminished presence of religion in society. For the JCPA leaders, the same relationships were limited to attitudes toward religious groups. www.cjcs.net /survey.htm   (12905 words)

Greece In 1941 Greece was occupied by German troops, who deported more than 65,000 Jews (roughly 92 per cent of the country's Jewish population) to concentration camps in 1943, despite the protests of Greek intellectual and religious leaders. The Christian Orthodox church has long played a pivotal role in Greek society: not only is 98 per cent of the population Greek Orthodox, but a 1995 European Commission poll confirmed that Greeks are the most religious of all EU member-state citizens. Although it condemns antisemitism officially, there is little doubt that many in the Orthodox church's midst, from high-ranking officials to village priests, continue to promote antisemitism and intolerance. www.axt.org.uk /antisem/archive/archive1/greece/greece.htm   (2858 words)

The Anti-Semitism of Japan's Aum Shinrikyo: A Dangerous Revival It should be noted that in 1989 Aum had officially been recognized as a religious organization, giving it a significant degree of protection from official interference. But to be sure that there is no mistake about their identity, Master Asahara stresses the importance of the Ten Commandments in their religious doctrine.

Antisemitic Discourse in Post-Communist Eastern Europe: An Overview Whether sponsored by Communist regimes that, ideologically, condemned antisemitism and ethnic discrimination, or existing in the post-Communist period, in a variety of old and new forms, antisemitism has had a great impact on political and intellectual life in the second half of our century, with a significant influence on the relations between East and West. Under these new circumstances, antisemitism is openly used by both the new nationalist organizations that wish to follow in the footsteps of old xenophobic right-wing extremism, as well as by Communists (as in recent striking declarations in the Russian Duma) promoting a dogmatic opposition to the process of democratization and liberalization in these countries. On the Russian Soviet side, we find a Communist regimes that was created by a revolution and a terrible civil war, a regime that destroyed Jewish religious and community life, but promoted individual Jews to the highest levels of power. sicsa.huji.ac.il /99anvolo.html   (3889 words)

Antisemitism: Its History and Causes, 1894 By Bernard Lazare- Chapter 10 from Nalanda Digital Library at NIT Calicut The religious origin of the official antisemitism has often been denied; yet it cannot be denied, and the Russians will yet probably give up even Panslavism in order to arrive at religious unity, a unity which to some of them, at least, seems indispensable for the unity of the State. The national and the religious question are but one in Russia, the Tsar being simultaneously the temporal and spiritual head, Caesar and Pope; but to faith more importance is attached than to race, and the proof is that a Jew who is willing to be converted is not persecuted. In Germany in particular this antique religious conception of the State again came to life with a new splendour, and in Germany, especially, anti-Judaism manifested itself more acutely, but the revival of anti-Jewish legislation was general. www.nalanda.nitc.ac.in /resources/english/etext-project/history/antisemitic/chapter10.html   (4179 words)

Zionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia While Zionism is based in part upon religious tradition linking the Jewish people to the Land of Israel, the modern movement was originally secular, beginning largely as a response to rampant antisemitism in Europe and the Muslim world during the 19th Century.

Foreign Affairs - Poles and Jews - Abraham Brumberg By the mid-sixteenth century they were allowed to organize a central body, called the "Council of the Four Lands." Its members, elected by local Jewish communities, oversaw the religious, social, and legal institutions of the entire Jewish population in Poland. Poles often invoke the spirit of tolerance that existed at that time as the quintessential characteristic of Polish rule throughout the centuries, and thus as the ultimate refutation of the often-heard charge of "traditional Polish antisemitism." Poland was indeed an exceptional haven for the Jews who lived during this golden age. For nearly 200 years from the late fourteenth century onward, they enjoyed an array of religious and political freedoms, sometimes receiving royal grants of extensive legal, social, and religious rights. www.foreignaffairs.org /20020901faessay9740/abraham-brumberg/poles-and-jews.html   (689 words)

Etymology Of The Word Jew [Definition] The term "Israelite," has also been appropriated by various non-Jewish groups, for example the Rastafarians Rastafarianism is a religious movement that believes that former emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia is God incarnate (a man who is the earthly aspect of God, as part of the Holy Trinity). The word "Jew" has been used often enough in a disparaging manner by anti-Semites Anti-Semitism (alternatively spelled antisemitism) is hostility towards Jews (not, in common usage, Semites in general - see the Misnomer section below). Deism is a form of monotheism in which it is believed that one god exists, however, a Deist comes to his belief through reason, and rejects any religious revelations such as the Bible, the Tanak... www.wikimirror.com /Etymology_of_the_word_Jew   (689 words)

Jews The Jews in Tunisia were able to maintain and reproduce their autonomous administrative, cultural and religious institutions, preserving intact their religious and communal identity. And their identity was a religious communal identity with a strong sense of belonging to a community, bound together by by their Jewish faith, culture, history, traditions, and a sense of continuity with the Jewish past. In Tunisia between 1881-1967, antisemitism, French colonialism, Arab nationalism and the creation of Tunisia as a Muslim Arab state converged to to create not only a shift of Jewish identity and Jewish condition, but also to bring about a mass exodus of the Jews from the country, and their resettlement in France and Israel. www.u.arizona.edu /~shaked/Tunisia/Jews.html   (2817 words)

Gavin I. Langmuir, worldwide authority on history of anti-Semitism, dead at 81 Former student Geoffrey Koziol, an associate professor of medieval history at the University of California-Berkeley, said Langmuir was interested in the development of a global explanation that would conform to both historical accuracy and the standards of models of sociology and social psychology to understand the reasons for anti-Semitism and religious prejudice in general. Langmuir has devoted to unraveling the history of anti-Semitism show why he is a teacher of legendary reputation, as well as a scholar of high distinction." In 1991, History, Religion and Antisemitism was awarded the National Jewish Book Award in the scholarship category.

DePauw University : Jewish Studies There are two strands that are central to Jewish Studies: one is the study of Jewish intellectual life in both its religious and secular aspects: the other is the study of Jewish identity, again both religious and secular. It also deals with issues of Jewish identity and ethnicity and the relationship between minority and majority cultures, including historic manifestations of anti-Judaism and antisemitism. Although several of these courses occur in the regular curriculum of Religious Studies, other core courses will often appear as topics courses and so will vary from year to year. www.depauw.edu /acad/jewish   (830 words)
