Anti-Semitism has existed for a long time. So long that it dates back to the third century, and it's still a problem today. Anti-Semitism has started wars, created genocides, and contributed to countless outright murders. An example of anti-Semitism occurred last month in Kansas City, Kansas, when a massacre took place at a Jewish community center. One of the earliest examples of anti-Semitism began in the first century. The Catholic Church has declared that Jews were responsible for the crucification of Jesus Christ. The Catholics then destroyed the Jewish temples and exiled them to different places. Doctrines were created stating many lies about the Jews, exaggerating everything from rituals with the blood of children to worshiping the Antichrist and showing extreme hatred towards the Roman Church. The rituals were called blood libel. They were often burned alive for “performing” these rituals. In the 12th century, the Almoravid dynasty began killing the Jews of Paris if they refused to convert to Christianity. Jews were often treated as foreigners and were often expelled from towns, villages and caravans. They were so hated in France that they were regularly kicked out of town, but they always came back every time. In the 14th century, Jews were accused of causing the Black Death, attempting to kill millions of people. people. Inaccurate doctrines claimed that this was happening because of the blasphemous and satanic practices of the Jews. As punishment for this belief, King Philip IV ordered the Jews to give up all their possessions except the clothes they wore. After this, King Henry II demanded that Jews wear the yellow badge, which made them easily identifiable... middle of paper ... their money, but the evidence proves this undeniable inhumane truth. In the 21st century. There are still acts of anti-Semitism today, such as the shooting at a Jewish community center in Kansas City last month. The suspect who shot three people was a member of the KKK (Ku Klux Klan) and was also anti-Semitic. The Westboro Baptist Church also targets Jews when it pickets outside Jewish funerals and meetings. Jews also still face opposition in the Palestinian territories. Ultimately, whatever one's beliefs, we are all one race, the human race, and thanks to school lessons and government anti-bullying campaigns, the future looks brighter than ever. towards a world. without anti-Semitism, but while we may be the closest we have ever been to eradicating this vile ignorance, we still have a long way to go.
