The History of Antisemitism



 https://www.ushmm.org/antisemitism/what-is-antisemitism/why-the-jews-history-of-antisemitism

Except this new one - I hope. But hope is not enough.

And even now the battle in Israel between Netanyahu and Hamas can be directed to the British who "gave" Israel to the Jews in 1948. 

I do not have a degree in history so will not endeavour to write much here.  The website www.ushmm.org has questions for us all to discuss.

  • How have Jews been affected by antisemitism? What impact does antisemitism have on others?

  • What is the meaning of “scapegoat”? What do people gain from scapegoating?

  • What is the effect of hateful images and speech? Do images and words reflect existing attitudes or create them? 

  • How has antisemitism changed throughout history? What are some differences among religious, political, and racial antisemitism?

  • Why would political or religious leaders espouse antisemitic ideas?

  • How is antisemitism similar to or different from other forms of group hatred?


    Yes bring in the children too. It's something we need to talk about.
