Antisemitism is hostility towards or prejudice against the Jewish people. Since biblical times, Jews experienced periods in which they were persecuted for refusing to adopt the religion and culture of the ruling societies in which they lived. The rise of Christianity and perception of Jews as rejectors of Jesus led to a rise in antisemitism.
Antisemitism is on the rise worldwide. The Combat Antisemitism Movement and The Jerusalem Post have partnered to track and document these incidents globally.
