What is Antisemitism?

[Burdock]

Antisemitism is a rotten term for the “longest hatred” that targets the Jewish people. For a start, there is no such thing as “semitism” to be “anti.”

The word “antisemitism” was invented by a 19th-century Jew-hater, Wilhelm Marr, who wanted to invest this prejudice with the spurious characteristic of race in order to appeal to a society that increasingly defined itself in scientific terms.

Today, with Jew-hatred having reached unprecedented global levels, the inadequacies of “antisemitism” are becoming ever more manifest. Many wrongly believe that it’s just another form of racism. Few understand that it’s a uniquely paranoid, deranged and murderous mindset.

Because Judaism and the Jews are so poorly understood, few recognize that this unique people is victimized by a unique prejudice. And few acknowledge that the prejudice changes shape as societies change.

Used for the sake of convenience, “antisemitism” fosters further misunderstanding over the issue of Israel. People assume that prejudice against the Jewish people is against Jews as people. Few understand that Judaism isn’t a private confessional faith as the West understands religion to be.

"Antisemitism" is a bit of a misnomer because it is hostility and prejudice specifically against the Jewish people, however, a Semite is not necessarily a Jewish person, but a member of any of the peoples who speak or spoke a Semitic language, including Jews, Arabs, Akkadians, Amorites, Babylonians, Phoenicians, Canaanites, and some Ethiopians.

Its really a sad commentary on this world. And the horrible part is its only going to get worse until Christ Returns at His 2nd Coming to take care of all their enemies in the battle of armageddon.
