The factors driving the rising tide of antisemitism sweeping across the globe may seem to be coming from different directions, but they are actually closely connected.
Britannica says: Anti-Semitism, is the hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious or racial group. The term anti-Semitism was coined in 1879 by the German agitator Wilhelm Marr to designate the anti-Jewish campaigns underway in Central Europe at that time. Nazi anti-Semitism, which culminated in the Holocaust, had a racist dimension in that it targeted Jews because of their supposed biological characteristics.
