What is Anti-Semitism?

• A. Anti-Semitism is prejudice against, hatred of, or discrimination against Jews.
• B. A medical condition.
• C. Prejudice against Christians.
• D. Prejudice against Muslims.

Answer: (A)

Anti-Semitism refers to prejudice against, hatred of, or discrimination toward Jews as a group. It targets Jewish people based on religion, ethnicity, or culture and can show up in stereotypes, bigotry, harassment, discriminatory actions, or violence. It is specific to Jews and is not a medical condition or a bias against Christians or Muslims (which would be different terms). Understanding this helps explain how harmful attitudes toward Jews have affected individuals and communities across history and in the present.
