Modern Anti-Semitism

Modern anti-Semitism refers to contemporary forms of hostility or discrimination against Jewish individuals and communities. It manifests through various means, including hate speech, social media campaigns, conspiratorial beliefs about Jewish influence, and violence. This form of anti-Semitism often blends traditional stereotypes with political and social grievances, sometimes targeting Israel in ways seen as delegitimizing Jewish identity. While it can arise from right-wing extremist ideologies, it also appears in left-wing critiques that cross into anti-Jewish rhetoric. Understanding modern anti-Semitism requires recognizing its complex roots and the impact it has on both Jewish communities and broader society.
