Prejudice is learned, not inherited.
– A child learns their prejudices from their surroundings, his environment, the total situation in which s/he happens to learn.

Anti-Semitism
• What is Anti-Semitism?–Why is it a misnomer?
Coined by German journalist Wilhelm Marr in 1870, it relates not to hatred of all Semites, but specifically to Jews while excluding Arabs who are also Semites.

Bias against Jews
• Jews have been accused of the characteristics of solidarity, exclusiveness, and superiority.
• In a society that systematically discriminated against Jews, Jewish solidarity was necessary from a physical and psychological point of view.

Contradictions in Common Anti-Semitic Beliefs
• Jews are seen as clannish; yet at the same time trying to push themselves into “where they are not wanted.”
• Jews are viewed as considering themselves as superior since they are God’s chosen people; yet they are seen as unscrupulous or guileless to gain control.
• Jews are seen as powerless; yet trying to control the world.

Treatment of Jews in America
• At the outset of the colonial experience, Jews were excluded as were other religious groups from participating fully in society.
• When large numbers of Jews began to arrive during the 19th and early 20th centuries, Jewish intolerance and the rejection of cultural & religious differences combined to lay the foundation for a pervasive anti-Semitism that became a national, well-entrenched phenomenon.

Historical Exclusion of the Jews
• Jews have been excluded historically since they were considered renegades from Christianity and the crucifiers of Christ. However:– Christ was a Jew– Romans crucified Jesus– Christian beliefs are based upon Judaism’s Ten
Commandments and the Jewish Bible
• In modern times, anti-Semitism made a leap from religious hostility to racial anti-Semitism, excluding Jews from economic life and social status.
