When was the rise of anti-semitism?

Answer 1

ant-semitism has been around even before chistianity. the pagans and earthly religions has antisemitic views and actions

Answer 2

The reason for anti-semitism initially was due to the fact that the Christian world was taught that the Jews were responsible for the death of Christ. I don't think, however, that anti-semitism became a problem until the early medieval period - although I would be interested to learn of any sources reporting anti-semitic behaviour during the so-called 'dark ages' Certainly, the sources suggest that the Romans were not anti-semitic, treating the Jews no differently from other client peoples (except of course, when they revolted as in the mid 1st century),

In the early middle ages Christians were unable to indulge in 'usury', that is lending money at interest because of church rules forbidding this. The Jews stepped in and filled this void by becoming bankers - even English kings were borrowing money from them and they were respected members of society. Unfortunately, no one likes people to whom they owe money and Jews became the scapegoats for various problems. In England, stupid stories began to circulate of ritual murders etc., leading to incidents like the massacre at Clifford Tower, York, England and the banishment of all Jews from the country in the early 13th century. They were not officially permitted to return until the period of the Commonwealth in the 17th century.

Answer 3

Anti-Semitism has been around essentially as long as there has been a Jewish people. There are many books on the subject, certainly, and it's a puzzling topic for most Jews. If you want a book on pre-WWII anti-semitism, I suggest "Roots of Hate: Anti-Semitism in Europe Before the Holocaust," by William I. Brustein.
