'''Antisemitism''' is [[discrimination]], prejudice, and [[Hate|hatred]] against [[Jews]] and [[Jewish]] culture. As a word, it is first recorded in the English language in 1882,<ref>https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/antisemitism</ref> but as an idea and argument of hatred examples exist from much earlier times, particularly stemming from the fact that Jews were God's first chosen people. It was Wilhelm Marr (1819–1904), an anti-Jewish German agitator, who coined the term ''"antisemitism"'' in 1879.<ref>Epstein, Varda Meyers (May 27, 2019).

It has become a '''Blind Hatred'''. Anti-Semitism is a default.
Every generation, this blind hatred is adjusted to contemporary politics. In Europs for example both opposite sides suffered from each other side. Throughout history, it didn't matter what's your politics, if at all / on whose side you were or if neutral. All the haters needed was the slightest match as a pretext.
At the core, real anti Semites know they are wrong. Every "accusation" can easily be proven wrong. It's just that layer of self convincing excuses and rationalization that keeps it 'running'.
In modern times cynical haters will choose to "decide" who is a real Jew, depending on their convenience / punching bag targeting / boogieman invention. "Judaize" someone perceived negative and "unJew" someone known as positive.

Haman the [[Amalekite]], in book of [[Esther]] had a grudge with one particular person Mordecai who refused to bow before him. As soon as he heard he is a Jew <ref>Esther 3:4</ref>(- which is why he considered it idolatry), he decided to have term all annihilated in one day. Men women and children.<ref>Esther 3:13</ref>
The first Christians were mostly Jews, including the original followers of Jesus Christ. The story of Jesus was remembered and retold in the synagogues. Splits appeared very soon after the death of Jesus between the [[Pharisees]] and the Revisionist Jews. The [[Gospel of John]] was written quite soon after he and other revisionist Jews were barred from the [[synagogue]] by the Orthodox party. The references to Jews in the Gospel according to [[John the Apostle]] does not refer to Jews as a whole, but to the Pharisees and scribes, concurrent with the Synoptic Gospels' numerous specifications of the two sects in the writings of Matthew, Mark, and Luke.<ref>Damato, Catherine (April 23, 2018).
