    Alive and Well, and not particularly well hidden in many places. Hell, there's even two types of Anti-Semitism, since last I checked, Arabs are either descendents of Semitic peoples or a Semitic people themselves.

    And it's sometimes hard to tell whether the usual suspects hate Jews or Arabs more than the other.

    Well, there are instances wherein although it may not be that notable and obvious, there are cases and people who do exist with these beliefs and get to meet and integrate with similar like minded people who just get drawn to them.

    No matter who you are or what you believe, someone out there hates you're guts. You might have never met them, but they hate you on principal.

    There's always going to be hate in this world. The chances of it ever going away is slim.

    Definition of SEMITE
    a member of any of a number of peoples of ancient southwestern Asia including the Akkadians, Phoenicians, Hebrews, and Arabs b : a descendant of these peoples .

    so anti is against any of these groups isn't it? the term favors no particular people though israeli's over use it to silence people. for some odd reason they think they are semites. 90% of them are russian and eastern europeans. they aren't semites.

    odd isn't it that any one or any country can be called to task for human rights violations and and slaughter of people in neighboring lands but not israel,no ,the bully wants a pass on its hideous behavior.
    by the way,perhaps people dislike them for what they do,not for who they are! think about that.

    Anti-Semite:

    A hate word used by Jewish bigot people to describe people that are not Jewish (or to describe anyone that opposes their views, opinions, and beliefs) with the goal to influence domination and control over the mass population to silence anyone that may be able to press criminal charges against them. Scientology works the exact same way but uses the letters (S.P.) for Suppressive Person instead.

    Anti Semitism is a word created over a hundred forty years ago to describe hatred of Jews, how old is Medinat Yisrael?

    "Anti-Semitism is nothing but the antagonistic attitude produced in the non-Jew by the Jewish group. The Jewish group has thrived on oppression and on the antagonism it has forever met in the world." -- Albert Einstein, in Collier's Magazine, November 26, 1938

    that is what I said, but the word is older than Albert Einstein and the state of Israel, anti Israel sentiment is anti Israel sentiment, not necessarily anti Semitism. And just criticizing Israel is not Anti Semitism.

    let me put it to you this way: "its not who you are underneath,its what you DO that defines you".
    ever think of that? there is always a basis for the stereotype that is attached to ethnic groups. think about it.
    in our world ,criticizing israel is the same thing.

    Most of the people screaming AntiSemites are European and North African Jews living in those areas, because they experience it. And tell me how complaining about Ireland isn't anti Irish in a Celt's eyes?
  • irish -... dyhorwitz 2012/07/12 12:49:29
    irish -liberty or death!
    wrong,the ones who overuse it are the israeli's.
    are you anti american for complaining or criticizing america?
    the difference is ,we don't care who complains do we? everyone complains about their country or religion but when it comes to israel,OMgosh! its anti semitism!

    perhaps these people need to look at themselves. when you encounter the same problem over and over with different people and at different times and in different countries,then the problem lies with that person or group not the outsiders!
    "its not who you are underneath its what you do that defines you"-no truer saying.

    It's been steadily rising coincidentally in countries where the Muslim population has been steadily rising.

    HIDDEN!?!?! It's more rampant than any other bigotry out there today, including the bigotry of Islam that insists all believe as they do or die. Anti-Semitism is on the rise - just as was predicted in the Bible for the end times.

    "just as was predicted in the Bible for the end times."

    Curious. Particularly, in light of the fact that the Christian Movement - later the Christian Church - invented anti-Semitism (Semite, in this case referring to Jews) and propagated it throughout the world for the next 1500 years. Keep in mind the pogroms unleashed against the Jewish communities in the West for more than 1500 years were promoted by the Catholic Church and after Luther (a rabid anti-Semite), by the Protestant Movement as well. The forcible conversion of Jews to Christianity flourished throughout the Middle Ages and continued right up to the modern era (after all, Hitler's hatred of the Jews didn't just spring-up in his mind out of nowhere - he was merely following a long, historical trend).

    It's true, the radical Islamists spew anti-Jewish garbage regularly, largely because they mistakenly conflate the Israeli state with being a Jew - much as the Israeli leadership does when accusing anyone who criticizes Israeli state policies with being anti-Semetic. But the majority of Muslims around the world neither promote anti-Semitism, nor are they "radical Islamists" ready to kill in the name of their god.

    Again, this is more a fiction propagated by the Israeli state as a means of labeling anyone critical of Israeli state policies as "anti-Semetic." It's true that there are plenty of Jew-haters extant in the world, e.g., the radical Islamists; the neo-Nazi movement in Europe and the US; many traditional right-wingers of the old John Birch Society-type; and much of the "9/11 truthers" movement (who believe the 9/11 attacks on the US were instigated and executed by the Israeli Mossad, in collusion with the Bush administration, as a means of justifying the subsequent American-Israeli war on the Muslim world).

    Even so, I doubt very much that the numbers of Jew-haters could ever rise to the level of the deeply embedded anti-black, anti-brown racism that exists in much of the world today - both overt and covert.

    The fact that the apostate state/church that took over the original church of Christ after the last of the apostles were killed led the world-wide anti-semitic movement doesn't change the fact that John received revelations concerning the end times and that many of those prophesies are being fulfilled.
