The Holocaust was the pinnacle of anti-Semitism-prejudice against Jews. But it was not the first time Jews became the scapegoats and targets of irrational hate and fear. Why is there such a long history of anti-Semitism in the world?

i can't tell you why..but i know that during the medieval period Jews was rejected by the society because of their religion . People were afraid and ignorant. Jews were Financiers and money lenders. The king taxed them ..so they had to increase the taxes of their products to have enough money to survive. People were very mad about the fact that what they sold was expensive. But Jews didn't have the choice

first of all it has to do somthing with how u define the word "semite" >>> or "al samiyeen" they were arabs, and recently in the media we hear alot about anti-semitism acts against the jews caused by palestinians who are sematic nation! what i wanted to say that anti-sematism is not an act against jews oly but also against arabs throughout history and when u talk about it u should be more spesific!
