JNS*: Clifford D. May: A brief history of Jew-hatred. [View all]

*Jewish News Syndicate

https://www.jns.org/opinion/a-brief-history-of-jew-hatred/

[Jew-hatred is as old as the Judean Hills, predating even the rebellion of the Jewish nation against Roman imperialism and colonialism from 66 to 73 C.E./A.D. Among the
punishments Rome inflicted: renaming the conquered Jewish territories.]

There's much more text at the link

Previously today I responded to an OP/Thread about current anti-semitic behavior and
that thread can be found here:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216599714

I decided that rather than clutter up that thread I'd start this OP/Thread to say that
the hatred of Jews/Jew-Hatred/Anti-Semitism is far older than The KKK or today's
White Supremacists. We can be sure that back in the first century A.D. the
Romans were Nationalists and Supremacists.

Here in 2022 A.D. all forms of hate have become institutionalized. Hate is a feature,
not a bug. Yes, we need to be taking care of this but it also helps to know that it's
been a problem for a long, long time and we all better get to work.
