Americans are more familiar with the terms bigotry, hatred and racism than antisemitism. The earliest American occurrence of antisemitism in the U. S. Occurred during the civil war. At that point and time, Ulysses S. Grant ordered the expulsion of all non-Christin, non-European, non-whites out of three southern American States. Abraham Lincoln, President at the time immediately rescinded the order. While known best for freeing the slaves, his impact on America was far more reaching than often realized.
Europe and The Middle East where Jews have been persecuted for centuries still report far many more incidents than do U. S. Officials. While antisemitism is alive and well, it is nowhere near the torture the Jews who were sacrificed, survived and died during the Holocaust. Most often today, antisemitism is related more to bullying and vandalism than torture and death camps.
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.
Antisemitism then, has been a problem in the U. S. For quite some time. Unfortunately, behaviors and hate crimes related to Jews are often up to ten times more severe in the Middle East and European nations. While this may be the case, any number of hate crimes are too many for the U. S., Europe, the Middle East, or anywhere else the World.
Jews have flourished in America since the early days. Following the 19th century, many Jewish communities formed in different areas of the country. Having endured far too many years of hatred and non-acceptance, these communities began forming during the World War II when many escaped the holocaust and arrived in America.
The Native Americans and Jewish are most likely the two groups discriminated against most during the 18th and 19th centuries. While bigotry, hatred and racism are on a decline, there are still crimes based on hate, race and religion reported on a daily basis all over the World. Only when individuals can learn to live together in Peace, and agree to disagree, will there be an end to this madness.
Often based in extreme right wing religion, antisemitism, bigotry and hatred are taught not inherited. Skinheads, well known for antisemitic behavior are responsible for a lot of the current antisemitism in current culture. Sadly, many of these individuals involved in acts of white supremacy have no knowledge of the Jewish Faith. Nor, the people or heritage whom are being discriminated against.
The good news is that most U. S. Citizens reject Antisemitism. While, the Anti-Defamation League reports that 64% enjoy and encourage Jewish community and cultural presentations. Attending events outside of one's own culture can often be an enlightening experience. Individuals can find out more about local Jewish events by contacting the nearest Jewish Community Center and requesting a calendar.
