Why Does Antisemitism Still Exist? Do Jews Cause Antisemitism? Whose Fault is Antisemitism?

At its heart, the hatred of Jews — which has existed in one form or another for 2,000 years — is difficult to understand or explain, since it’s basically irrational. Nevertheless, many questions about “the world’s longest hate” need to be addressed — including the ones in the headline above. They’re discussed in the three videos linked below. Also, if you think you already know everything about antisemitism, we strongly recommend reading the extensive Wikipedia entry linked below.
 
Quote: “A March 2008 report by the U.S. State Department found that there was an increase in antisemitism across the world and that both old and new expressions of antisemitism persist. A 2012 report by the U.S. Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor also noted a continued global increase in antisemitism and found that Holocaust denial and opposition to Israeli policy at times was used to promote or justify blatant antisemitism. In 2014, the Anti-Defamation League conducted a study titled Global 100: An Index of Anti-Semitism, which also reported high antisemitism figures around the world.”
