Bigotry, hatred, racism, words heard every day. Antisemitism, while a problem for many Jewish Americans and others for centuries, is not as common. Unfortunately, this is not true when it comes to anti semitism in the U. S. Where both antisemitism and racism are all too frequent. New hate crime laws in the United States and other countries have at least created a reduction in number of overall incidents.
While antisemitism is alive an well in the U. S., it is still not as horrid as during the time of the holocaust. During World War II, many Jews were gassed, tortured and placed in grueling work camps, most often while waiting execution. Hitler, responsible for these atrocities and others had hoped for the complete elimination of all non-whites. Giving birth to the ideology of antisemitism and racism in Germany in the 1940s.
The first Jewish American students reduced these sentiments in the U. S. More recently, scholars have also found that antisemitism or racism have existed in America since the American revolution. The Native Americans being the first to experience expulsion, execution and racism during the American Revolution.
Unfortunately, antisemitism has always been a part of life in the United States. There are also many other countries which have similar problems. The first U. S. Incident being reported during the Civil War when General Ulysses S. Grant issued an order that required the expulsion of all Jews in several Southern States. An order which was quickly rescinded by then President, Abraham Lincoln.
The Jewish American community in the U.S. Has flourished since the 19th century. After enduring a long period of racism directed not only at the Jews but at all non-northwest European, non-Christian groups. Today, the United States has the second to the largest Jewish community in the World. In large part, because of so many American Jews and Germanic Jews who migrated to the United States during World War II.
Fortunately, Antisemitic incidents have decreased during the last century. Most likely thanks to the Civil Rights Act, racism in general also saw a decrease in overall racism. Defining the difference between Antisemitism and racism can often be difficult. The clearest definition is that Antisemitism is hatred based on race and religion. Whereas, racial discrimination is strictly based on race alone.
Antisemitism is anti-Jewish and most often based in extreme right wing theological philosophy. Skinheads are well known for antisemitic behavior. Most often those who believe in antisemitism are also racist. Whether American, Jewish, Jewish American or other race, it is clear to see that racism still exist in the U. S. And so too Antisemitism, hatred against Jewish Americans that remains alive and well in America.
Most Americans reject Antisemitism and racism. In fact, many take advantage of and enjoy local Jewish culture. A number of Americans also consider the Kaballah a Spiritual path. Whereas, many have also converted to Orthodox Judaism for marriage or other reasons. While reformation is possible, individuals seeking to convert to Judaism from other religions must often meet with the Rabbi on several occasions as part of the process.
