    This is a really bizarre take. Antisemitism was not imported. There were many massacres of Jews in North Africa in the 9th, 10th and 11th centuries.

      Yeah and maybe do some research as to why they happened - maybe if Jews didn’t literally betray their host countries and make trouble they wouldn’t have happened - the 1066 granada massacre happened because the Jewish vizier literally conspired to betray the city and allow an enemy force to invade and sack the city as long as he would be made king or sultan, Punishment for treason is death so can’t complain about that

      I am confused, too. If I remember correctly the Romans were suspicious of monotheism and the idea of a coming Messiah. Both possibly threatening the idea of a Cesar.
      The Catholic Church also caught on early claiming Jews killed Jesus. For a religion having forgiveness as a central idea they hold on to a grudge against a few individuals for a really long time.

    How can you deliver such a constructed narrative, disregarding the entire historical context of Jewish life since the Arab invasion in 7th century. You ignore the fact of envy, starting with Isaac and Ismael. As long as there was a status quo, unchallenging the Muslim dominion, there may have been a strange kind of "peace". This changed with the dynamics coming from the Western world: While Jews were open to new opportunities, Muslims remained in their traditions. Please look for this great video to reveal the fake presented here: The Ethnic Cleansing of Jews within Muslim Countries (From Germany, with love to Israel)

    Wasn't that time period mentioned in this political sicence theory about during the Ottoman Empire? What about the period of time in which both the Mamluk armies and the defender identities collectively being called the crusades over hundreds of years starting soon after the event called the Great Schism? Before that too what about after the period of time in which a split was happening between Sunni and Shia Muslims? Could that great divide break down in human relations in many places on planet earth have had anything to do at all with the political tensions which led up to what is called, "The Great Schism" in the Christian church next? "The Great Schism" which happened most only because of relatviely minor disputes however many about when and how Jewish worship rite traditions were to be included in public worship events to signify the sacred there. Things like what day the first day of the week to celebrate the Sabbath is and when unlevened bread should be served too.A humorous aside during this discussion about a very troubling subject called anti-Semitism: I have yet to read the novel called, "The Kitchen God's Wife." The title of that novel made me wonder if there is any hidden wisdom in it about how to get along with any kind of head chef.

    Jewish history was written by Ashkenazi Jews, so the history of other Jews was and still is given a smaller role than it deserves. This is also true of persecution and antisemitism they had to endure.
    Details differed depending on time and place, but overall it was about as bad as in Europe. The rules of life in the Islamic world made submission and humiliation of Dhimmis felt in every sphere of life.
    It is true that Muslims did not view Jews as a threat. But being seen as a threat actually gave some respect to Christians in that society. Jews, not seen as a threat, were treated even worse.
    In the 18th century the lives of Jews in Europe began to improve, and kept improving until the Holocaust. In the Muslim world, however, nothing changed. So at that time it was much better for Jews in Europe.
    It is true that many antisemitic and closely related tropes (Blood libel, Protocols, Mein Kampf, fascism, National Socialism) came to Muslim countries from Europe. But the readiness and eagerness with which they were accepted and absorbed speaks for itself. Plus, there were also plenty of local tropes.

      Your comment is well said. This video underrepresents the existence of antisemitism in the Arab world prior to WWII and focuses only on its adoption of European styles and tropes during the time period when the Arab and European world came into closer contact.

      Similar can be said of how there is much focus on the American Slave trade but little on the Arab slave trade despite having lasted hundreds of years longer. More time could and should be devoted to dialogues on the history of both Mizrahi Jews and the East African Slave trade. Only bringing the slave trade up to dispense of this weird Arab oppression ideology we have going on today. Let's also not forget the Barbary Pirates in the late 1700s enslaving Americans in case anyone says islamic extremism / expansionist ideology is a consequence solely of American / Western foreign policy. Islam's suppression of much of what it touched has been an ongoing phenomena since the 7th century AD. The Quran and Hadith are the blueprint.

    What would be a game changer for Jews would be to come up with a few items from history that the nation could apologize for being a part of. I know it seems hard to apologize for things, it really goes miles to bolster a person/peoples appearances. I do not myself feel qualified to determine what is what for those answers but I know when I stick to pride over humility I fail everytime.
    I myself love Jews as my wife and best friend is Jewish from the way back kind. I love her so much and am so sorrowful for my Germanic roots because of holocaust that I have even dug several underground hideouts to literally hide the Jews when the Nazis return. Because I am of that stock and I never quit and I am hard to kill, I feel it is my inner knowledge to know that the reich ain’t done.
    So I traced lineages and industrial lineages to write a serious satire called “101 ways to usurp the coming fourth Reich”.
    I didn’t publish because my tunnels aren’t done and I’m sure I’ll be killed for that piece.. anyway I know but would never say, some things that could be apologized for by groups using the name of the Jews but it isn’t my place to move for anyone else. But if some maybe less tragic events could be stated by Israel it could be so helpful to the opinions of people around the world who only see the things they are shown.
    I mean this with total love and support of the world loving on the Jews.

    The word "Semite" applies to those of a Middle Eastern bloodline: Jews AND Arabs. And so, to call an Arab anti- Semite is akin to accusing the Nigerians or Jamaicans or Barak Obama, Nelson Mandela etc. of being anti-black people. It is utterly nonsensical. Rather, it can only be the Ashkenazi Jews that happen to live in Middle-East who can be labelled 'anti-Semetic'. For they are of European stock (white not brown), mainly from the Caucuses. And in the 5th Century CONVERTED to Judaism. And so, as well, Hebraic Jews they are not. So. If you ever get accused of being an "anti-Semite" ask your accuser about their ancestry. If they're Ashkenazi, they have NO business labelling you as such. Ends!

      Given your aversion to google, I’ll leave this here for you.
      The word “Semitic” was first used by a German historian in 1781 to bind together languages of Middle Eastern origin that have some linguistic similarities. The speakers of those languages, however, do not otherwise have shared heritage or history. There is no such thing as a Semitic peoplehood.
      Antisemitism or “Antisemitismus” - note the lack of hyphen ;) - was coined in 1879, by German journalist Wilhelm Marr to mean hatred of the Jewish “race,” adding racial and pseudo-scientific overtones to the animus behind the word.

      A brutal colonialism where Jews legally purchased land, until the "oppressed" Arabs passed laws banning such sales. A land that always had a Jewish presence and a history going back 1000's of years prior to 1948. Get real dude, you don't even know the facts. Islam is evil, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem personally met with Adolf Hitler and was so pleased at the thought of European Jewery being extirpated.

      Well, Israel was attacked by Arab countries practically the day it became a state. It hardly had had the time to become a "brutal colonial" state. Those repeated wars launched by Arab countries, and Arab terrorism afterward, contributed to shaping Israel into what it has become and for some Israelis to have territorial buffers. But I guess you need to see the world with good Arabs victims and bad Israelis colonialists oppressors.
