"Scientific racism," or "race science," referred to the ideology that differences in human behavior derive from inherent group characteristics, and that human differences can be demonstrated through anthropological, biological, and statistical proofs.

There is a clear sense that anti-Semitism was a standard part of almost every aspect of human development, that culminated frequently in violent and subtle acts against Jews over and over again, throughout history.
At various times throughout the modern period, the myth of a "Jewish world conspiracy" has attracted adherents. Jews have been accused of plotting to take over the world by undermining the existing social and political order. The myth of the "Jewish world conspiracy" springs from diverse sources. As one source of the myth, Yehuda Bauer has pointed to the medieval anti-Jewish Christian accusation that, as the people of the devil, Jews, like the devil, aim to control the world.

There is in fact no point in human recorded history that there was not some campaign, seeded in jealousy and fear of individual failure that did not allow anti-Semitic ideals to creep into the popular and official histories of nations. The false representation of the world getting past this anti-Semitic history is relatively limited in reality, as such sentiments are still clearly evident. Jewish forced migrations, are so much a part of the history of many nations that Jews consider this constant resettlement as a part of their history and reality, and most refer to it simply as the Diaspora.
Occasional migrations or forced relocations of Ashkenazic Jews had occurred between 1750 and 1850, with Bukovina, northeastern Hungary, Moldavia, and the Pale of Settlement serving as the principal settlements. One of the...
Ruppin adds that roughly one-quarter of a million Jews emigrated from East Central Europe between 1800 and 1880.

Again there is not period in history or place in the world, where Jews were not at one time or another excluded from ordinary life, and often barred from sustainable human existence, so much so that they were forced to move again and again to retain their lives and their identity. This can even be said of modern times, when a great deal of the religious aspect of Jewishness has been abandoned fro a more secular faith and existence, hence the need of the world to develop other aspects, than faith as an exclusionary tool, the biological root of anti-Semitism. Though there are many who believe that Anti-Semitism is a thing of the past, as we continue to reel at the sight of the atrocities of the holocaust, and yet anti-Semitism is alive and well today, likely biding its time to later express its ugly head again in later years.

Anti-Semitism has practically been embedded into Christian doctrine. As Harrington (2009) points out, “certain Gospel texts have fostered anti-Judaism,” and “one can say that the Gospels may have an anti-Jewish potential,” (p. 1). This is true in spite of the fact that many of the authors of the gospels might have self-identified as Jews, or who were at least writing from a Jewish consciousness and Jewish point of view, for
There is a clear sense that Stalin and other officials had differing views and therefore actions, that depended almost entirely on the needs of the nation, as they perceived them, at the time the decisions were made. Prior to 1948, the Soviet Union's record concerning Jews was mixed. On the one hand, Lenin, the first leader of the Soviet Union, had consistently and vigorously condemned anti-Semitism, and in the late
Pictures on the news of American flags being burned seem to appear more often than they used to. Perhaps my generation just isn't used to having our nation criticized to the extent that it has been since our response to September 11; we all know there have been anti-American protests in the past, that flags have been burned and protests against certain American military endeavors waged. Anti-Americanism has many definitions
The shifting perceptions of 1096, particularly when seen against the backdrop of the historical "reality, have much to teach us." The development of the Rhineland Massacres, often looked at in history as a linear first example of official Jewish mass persecution by the Christians, wavers in importance to the modern scholar, as well as the modern Jew and Christian. Was it a warm up for mass persecution, or a warm up
A change of leadership and divisive social forces might pressure such hatreds into re-erupting, but these hatreds are still historical 'products.' A balance between history and psychology is needed to fully understand why mass political atrocities occur. A diffusion of responsibility during the action such as a war or a collective lynching can be a facilitating factor, but the social and historical context must be acknowledged. An authority that validates
