What does Antisemitic mean?
536537
The term “antisemitic” and all of the words derived from it, like “antisemite,” have nothing to do with the actual definition of the word, “semitic.” The word, “semitic” refers to a group of languages that are, themselves, derived from the same language common to all of them, which includes, Ugaritic, Hebrew, Arabic, and other languages common in the ancient Mesopotamian world.\n\nThe term “antisemitic” was specifically coined by a Jew hater named Wilhelm Marr in 1859, who was proud of his own hatred of Jews. The term was created to sound more scientific, to make is sound as though the Jews were a race (the Jews are NOT a race!), and to replace "Judenhass," which translates to “Jew Hatred.” All the variants of antisemitic, antisemite, antisemitism, etc. are various forms that all mean Jew Hatred. This is not “semite-hatred” but “Jew hatred” and it was defined as only Jew-hatred from the very beginning.\n\nToday, the Arabs are working to have the definition broadened to include Arabs because the see the word semitic and want to include Arabs along with Jews. They want to do this strictly for political and propaganda purposes. However, the term semite does not refer to them, it refers to their language, Arabic, and the term antisemitism refers to the hatred of only Jews.\n\nThe Jews are so incredibly small in numbers, the Arab Muslims, especially IN AFRICA are so huge in numbers, the vast majority of Jews did not come to the U.S. until well AFTER the Civil War, and after the slave trade.\n\nFROM ::\n\nhttp://jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu/~plarson/smuseum/jas.htm\n\n"""Jews, Slavery, and the Slave Trade \nIn my years of teaching about slavery and the slave trade, this is perhaps the most frequent and persistent of the questions I consistently receive. Most of the askers are either Jews or African Americans. \n\nThe short answer is that persons of Jewish heritage played only a peripheral role in either the slave trade or as slave owners. \n\nThe idea that some Jews participated in the slave trade and were slave owners often comes up in a context in which responsibility for the slave trade is placed mainly at the feet of Jews. This is wrong. We must question why there is such interest in Jews and the slave trade. Never once in my classroom has anyone asked, for example, if Norwegians or Danes or--for that matter--Christians--participat... in the slave trade. Even asking the question implies some special relationship of Jews to enslavement. The vast majority of individuals involved in and benefitting from the slave trade were either African Muslims or Christian Europeans.\n\nJews might best be characterized as people largely on the sidelines of slavery, although a very small number benefitted along with the majority of Christian traders and masters."""

I'm not quite sure I understand the question.  As a Jew I am not anti-Christianity. (not even sure what anti-Christianity would mean).  I believe differently than Christians, but I can respectfully agree to disagree. I also disagree with Muslim beliefs.  In fact I even disagree with some Jewish people's beliefs!  (such as reform, reconstructionists, etc.)  \nIn short I'm not anti anybody except evil people like Hitler, Bin Laden, and so on, (if you could even call them people)...

The Latin answers above are correct, but the normal English translation is "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews".\n\nThere's a good story behind this. He was accused by the Jewish religious authorities of claiming to be king of the Jews. Pontius Pilate, who had come to respect him while questioning him at his trial, had the inscription put on top of his cross. The Jews complained, saying he only called himself this. Pilatereplied "What I have written, I have written".

The anti Christ simply means - a body teachings or ideas that is the opposite of the teachings of The Christ. To recognize "it" you have to understand what Christ has taught.\nPersonally, I believe "it" has been on  the prowl the moment Christ came into being.

IT is about time someone spoke up,and thanks for your courage.Under the protection of the united states Israel has behaved so badly in it's dealing with its enemies.When one objects to their inhumane behavior,they raise the antisemitic flag.This is supposed to quell opposition to their actions.

It means "placid penitent."  It's Italian.\n\nPlacid, in turn, means calm, peaceful, free of disturbances.\n\nA penitent is a person who has repented of sin.

Some pious (Chassidic) Jews wear long sidelocks because they interpret the law to mean that one may not shave the temple at all.\n\nIn addition to the influence of Torah on appearance, there are those Jews who wear a beard and sideburns because they want to appear Jewish.\n\nThis means that those Jews who display Jewish hairstyles and clothes attain existential validation in the same fashion as those who wear a uniform or those who display a symbol such as a Mogen David or a cross on their lapel. Existential validation is sought by all of us as we seek to present ourselves to others in everyday life. The presentation which we promote leads to the “looking glass self”, as Cooley called it. What we wear, what we say, how we confront others is reflected in the manner which others exhibit toward us. Hence the “looking glass” self. Therefore, the Jew who wears a distinctively Jewish form of attire seeks to be treated as a Jew.\n\nWe Jews are of course not the only ones to wear beards and ear locks and black clothes. Some fundamentalist Christians do this also. So the story is told of the Jewish woman who meets a man on a train. The man wears a black hat and black suit. A “secular” Jew, she berates the man and says: “You orthodox Jews embarrass us all. Your clothes and beard cause anti-Jewish hatred.” “ I am not Jewish,” says the man. “I am Amish and we wear black clothes and beards. It is our tradition.” “Of course,” says the Jewish secularist. “You have every right to wear such clothes and you are to be commended for carrying on your cultural tradition.”

Anti-Semitism is dislike of Jews.  Examples of what Germans did to the Jews would be forcing them to wear identification marks, confiscation of property, deportation to concentration camps, and eventual extermination in the gas chambers.\n\nSome Jews left Europe for other lands or attempted to hide, but there was actually little resistance given the magnitude of what happened.\n\nTwo main concentration camps were Auschwitz and Dachau.  Able-bodied Jews were used as forced labor; most were exterminated.  In addition, other Eastern Europeans as well as homosexuals were put to death.\n\nThe three main Jewish holy days (not including Rosh Hashanah, which is the Jewish New Year) would be:\n\nPassover - Comes from Biblical tale of the exodus from Egypt, when the Tenth Plague exterminated the first born of Egypt but spared the Hebrews who had put lamb's blood on the door frames of their homes.  On that night, Hebrews were to eat bitter herbs (reminder of slavery) and unleavened bread (haste of leaving Egypt and not having time to let the bread rise).\n\nYom Kippur - Jewish Day of Atonement\n\nHannukah - Festival of Lights, deals with the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem after Judas Maccabeus and his brothers helped defeat the Seleucid Greeks.

JEWISH - OF OR RELATING TO JEWS, / OF JUDAISM\nJUDAISM - THE RELIGION OF THE JEWS, /  THE JEWS COLLECTIVELY. \nTHE ABOVE DEFINITIONS ARE FROM THE ILLUSTRATED OXFORD DICTIONARY.\n\nWhen Moses was on the Mount to get the law there is no mention of Judaism. In fact there is no translation that metions this religion, not even once. Therefore it was created by man not by the most high. Which should tell you that any form of Judaism is a transgression against Gods Law. One of the books of Judaism is the Talmud or Oral law again there is no metion of this. They say Jesus taught a oral law, untrue. He may have said the law oral, but not a oral law mention. The Talmud was created sometime in the 2nd - 5th century C.E. (common Era)by rabbi's.

Of course, when items are misquoted, misunderstood, taken out of context or invented, anything goes.\n\nWhy don't you admit that you're nothing but an anti-semite, low-life NAZI lover.  These so-called quotes are very popular on neo-nazi websites, like the ignoramouses who post them would have any knowledge of what is actually written in the Talmud.

"Sephardic" Jews were originally "Spanish Jews" who spoke "Ladino" a Romance language based on Spanish. \n\nHistorically, "Ashkenazi Jews were those who spoke Yiddish which was based on High German.\n\nAshkenazi Jews tend to be the term used for "European" Jews. Many include the "Oriental Jews" (those who lived in Arab nations) as Sephardic although that isn't technically always correct.

He was Jewish, and for about three hundred years, his followers were also considered Jewish. Eventually, there was enough disagreement about whether you could be a good Jew and believe that the Messiah had come that the "Christians" were told they really weren't part of Judaism anymore. I am a Roman Catholic, but my religion starts with Judaism as its basis. I don't understand how anyone who follows Christ can be anti-Semitic, because Jesus and His family and His first followers were Jewish.

This is about children of Israel (the Jews): you shall not shed your blood.  Means: you are not to kill each other.\nNo suicide or civil war concerned.

No it's not Antisemitic, antisemitic is NOT when you hate Jews but you will find out if you say something about them they don't agree with. They will label you this anyway.\n\nYes it's true out of all the people on the face of the earth they're the only one who fit the prophecy of Israel. Not all blacks are Hebrews, and because their Black doesn't mean they are not Hebrews. It's no secret that the Hebrews were Black. Like Cornelius Tacitus in 55AD a Roman never seen the Israelites but "MANY AGAIN say the were a race of Cushite origins" That's one of the tribes of NUBIA. Then the Muslim name a place in Africa call Yahoodee which is what they call the people in Sub-Sahara Africa. They call them this because they were Hebrews Yahoodee means the tribes of Israel.\n\nThe Children of Israel were to be as numerous as the sands of the sea and can not be measured. So why can't no one find this people. Because  throughout history many said they were not only in Africa in great numbers but was also black with dark skin. ACT 13:1 ...SIMEON THAT WAS CALLED NIGER... He didn't get this name because he was dark skin but because he was literally Black. They label all Africans as one group and say this is how all Africans are. They never told you about "Nyame" or yah, they never said that they had "Jews" to go to Africa during the slave trade to speak Hebrew. How you think they were able to commuicate. Did you know about "people of Ashan" such as the ob cult, religious dances, use of "Amen", vowel value, patriarchal system, parallel symbolism of Authority in "stool" and "chair", endogamy, cross-cousin marriages, familiar names, exogamy, simplicity of marriage rite and the part wine plays in the ceremony, uncleanness after child birth, purification ceremony, Menstrual seclusion. and ceremonial ablutions. What about a place call "the land Judah" in Benin founded by the French.\n\nHere is the prophecies read it all first, because if you read part of it you will have questions and the more you read the deeper it get's and it will answer all of your questions by the time your finish. It's no way one man could explian it all their is way too much info to cover. It's many books about it, history books are just as good read those to understand the prophecies.\n\nhttp://www.hebrewisraelites.org/leviticus26.htm\n\n\nHere is the religion belief in Africa during and before the slave trade. See the picture of the Ashanti here the man who drew it is unknown but the first guy to publish this picture in 1700 thought he was a Ambassador. But you can tell he is a Hebrew preist he have to gold disc which have Yahweh name on it, the tiara and even the way he dress like that of the hebrews. he even have a sene(breastplate of the Levi preist) which represents all the names of the tribes of Israel you can see it at link below\n\nhttp://www.hebrewisraelites.org/hebrewism.htm
