What are the main reasons that anti-Semitism has continued to grow?
Anti-Semitism has continued to grow because people stopped seeing Judaism as a religion and started seeing it as an inferior race. They started seeing Jews as inferior like if they weren’t humans just because they didn’t believe in the same gods as they did. Other religions and cultures don’t understand that the only way that Judaism has persisted throughout time is by staying together, so anti-Semitism has continued to grow because of many reasons. One is the inferiority. Another one is not accepting other religions, not accepting anyone that is not like you and the third one in my opinion is jealousy because Jews have had money and studies. Anti-Semitism spreads because of ignorance, but it is not the only reason.
Why are Jews the target of racism more than some other religious groups?
Jews are a target because they are very few and they have always been envied because they have studied and they are very united. They support each other. And they have had money, although not all of the Jews have money, but some of the important people that have money, are Jews. But that is not the only reason. There is not just one or two reasons, there are many and some we don’t even know why. Mostly it is because of the power that they have, they are minority and their unity. We could take an example of a bully and a bullied kid. The bullied kid could be the Jews and the bully the other groups, the anti-Semites.
How have Jews overcome / dealt with anti-Semitism?
The only way that Jews can overcome this is by staying together. Although it is not something that can be dealt with because it is a huge problem, a problem that has grown out of control, the only thing that they have left to do is stay together and not letting get in between.
It is a very complicated problem because people hate for no reason and the hatred spreads and suddenly you have a lot of people hating the Jews for no apparent reason.
One of the things that have helped the Jews is the creation of the State of Israel, because it gives them a sense of belonging somewhere and it is easier to stay together. Also governments have started to accept them and welcome them in their countries and that is also very significant since they have the liberty to perform of celebrate their holidays and they traditions without any fear of getting persecuted.
