You believe that by discriminating against Jewish people, society will be more unified and prosperous.
Anti-Semitism is not a political ideology per se, but rather a form of prejudice or discrimination that targets Jews based on their religion, ethnicity, or heritage. The term "anti-Semitism" was coined in 1879 by a German journalist named Wilhelm Marr, who wanted a more scientific-sounding term for Judenhass, or "Jew-hate." However, the roots of anti-Semitism stretch back much further in history.
Historically, anti-Semitism has manifested in various forms, from religious intolerance and social exclusion to economic restrictions and state-sponsored genocide. In the…

What could be the consequences of remaining silent when witnessing an act of discrimination in school or your community?
@9J38XLP1yr1Y
Those who Remain silent should be charged with any minor punishment (not jail time)
@9J4TCLNIndependent1yr1Y
not clear on what is minor punishment
witness should have the choice to testify/report of their own free will
@9S8JKPH11mos11MO
Community service and/or fines, unless the act resulted in injury of a party, in which case a mor severe consequence would be appropriate.
@9S8KYP611mos11MO
I have never witnessed but I'm sure there people who should speak up
@9J38XJ6Republican1yr1Y
freedom of speech, but i think its wrong to just be hurtful to someone because of their race or sexual orientation.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What personal experiences have shaped your understanding of discrimination and its impact on individuals?
@9J7KWFD1yr1Y
Discrimination is bad and as a minority it can impact people. It doesn't impact me because I don't care but people who do have a right to be a bit angry.
@9J7G4531yr1Y
I find it wrong to go after someone just because of their religion and if you disagree with someones beliefs just keep it to yourself because i feel like attacking someone over their religion causes people to be scared to be themselves
@9J7FX641yr1Y
I know it does hurt those individuals and i think there are ways around it
Discrimination is not only unconstitutional but it severely impacts the mental health of the group/person being discriminated against. I have witnessed people with emotional trauma due to being discriminated against.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How does it feel to be the target of a stereotype, and what are the dangers of such generalizations?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Why do you think some people might resist learning about the experiences of groups different from their own?
@9J7HC8C1yr1Y
People don’t want to feel guilty about what the people of the past have done but learning about these experiences is the first way to prevent them from happening again
@9J9F44M1yr1Y
I agree that learning the experience of the other side can be important, one other hand I see, people should feel guilt from the others past experiences as it can give more of a better connection, thus giving more respect for the other side
@9J8FB4P1yr1Y
A major purpose of history is to learn what did not work in the past and to learn from the mistakes of our ancestors. If we choose to ignore some parts of history then those mistakes are bound to happen again in the present/future. We should not be ashamed of the shortcomings of our ancestors but instead, be proud that our country has evolved and conditions are much better compared to how they were back then.
@9J7HDZY1yr1Y
They are intolerable and are afraid their views might chanfe.
@9J7H7X51yr1Y
Because they might not agree with their beiliefs and lifetyles
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What personal values would stop you from supporting a group or movement that discriminates against Jews?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What are the dangers of conspiracy theories that target specific ethnic or religious groups like Jews?
@9SNFDVCPeace and Freedom10mos10MO
It could cause a lot of unnecessary backlash towards that group even when they did nothing wrong. It's similar to spreading rumors about a person in school, rumors and conspiracies can ruin lives.
@9RTMB5Q 11mos11MO
Pretty broad question really, some "Conspiracies" are true, some are made in hate, the same with anything left in such a broad category with the power of the world criticizing them just as all are the same by lying about it, the one to blame are the people that lie about the truth
@9RTMV9G11mos11MO
They’re very dangerous, conspirators can end entire religions.
@9RTKD7L11mos11MO
Many call them conspiracy theories. Some may end up being true, but most are hateful rhetoric or ridiculous stereotyping. Neither should be allowed, and neither should be heeded. Otherwise, you get groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you feel if you were judged and discriminated against simply because of your cultural or religious background?
@9H93DZD2yrs2Y
I would feel violated, as I came to pave my own lane and path however there are people that are disturbed because of my presence bringing my culture within this nation.
@9H92V672yrs2Y
I would feel very bad mis treated when I’m also a person we are all the same
@9H938YJ2yrs2Y
It would suck. Nobody should have to go through that.
@9H9P2DN2yrs2Y
it wouldnt feel good but that's just who i am there's no changing it and people who do judge or discriminate against religious and cultural background's are uncultured swine's and people who have too much time on their hands.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How could the inclusion of lessons about diverse religious and ethnic backgrounds in education influence societal attitudes?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do myths and misinformation about a community, like Jews, get started, and what can we do to correct them?
they can easily be started when something wrong or bad happens, and there's a need to point the blame or shift the stress onto other things. this can be avoided by just having common sense and good morality/electing good leaders.
@9J397DK1yr1Y
Punish news sources no matter if trash or not on the misinformation and make them issue public apologies.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What's the impact of recognizing and celebrating the achievements of those from marginalized communities in reducing prejudice?
@9J38W5Y1yr1Y
It's always helpful to show humans are all part of the same family.
I don't really understand the question and i believe i dont understand because to me it's not a serious or very important question.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can a society truly prosper if it's built on the exclusion or mistreatment of a group of people based on their ethnicity?
@9H99JLH 2yrs2Y
There are a multitude of methods in which a society may be nurtured, and that nurturing can be achieved without the maltreatment of individuals based on their appearance or habits (unless it could be "wrong"). Rather, a society should notice the flaws of each group while also propelling each group forward, especially to its citizens.
@9H96Q8W2yrs2Y
No, it cannot as it creates lots of protesting harming civilian lives, more spending on damages and police equipment, and overall puts a bad image on the country.
@9H97RXQ2yrs2Y
No it cannot, it will never truly move beyond that and to really fix it we’d need to abolish everything and start again
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How does bullying or discrimination against any group, such as Jews, affect the overall school environment and student relationships?
Bullying against any minority perpetuates decades of abuse that these communities experience, and worsens the school environment overall. Any targeted attack against a vulnerable group in a public space that is based on racist, sexist, or otherwise bigoted dogma does not serve to benefit our society
@9HLDHMD2yrs2Y
it effects the students mental health and overall well being.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Have any historical figures who faced discrimination, like many Jews have, inspired your own sense of justice?
@9J38B5V1yr1Y
Yes, because it makes me realize how fortunate some are more than others just because of their race and or what they believe in. It also makes me want to do something to make a change because everyone in the world should be equal and treated the same under no circumstances
@9J37YVB1yr1Y
Yes, because it makes me realize how fortunate some are more than others just because of their race and or what they believe in. It also makes me want to do something to make a change because everyone in the world should be equal and treated the same under no circumstances
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Is it ever justified to blame an entire ethnic or religious community for the problems faced by a society?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What would a world without discrimination look like, and what steps can we take to move towards that vision?
@9J399RT1yr1Y
Everyone would be free to practice or not practice whatever religion or traditions they choose to without fear of being attacked or scrutinised.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How does it affect your view of fairness in society when you see one group being treated differently?
@9J8KRDRRepublican1yr1Y
Seeing one group mistreated in comparison to other groups makes me question the fairness and genuineness of this country. It is 2024, you would think the Declaration of Independence should have sunk in by now.
My view of society is already at an all-time low. Seeing this sort of behavior doesn't surprise me, but it does continue to lower my trust in humanity.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What role do you believe personal responsibility plays in challenging and combating anti-Semitism in your community?
@9H953TW2yrs2Y
To prevent hate and more information so people are more educated and know how their words can be heavy.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Have you ever witnessed or encountered an act of anti-Semitism, and if so, how did it make you feel?
@9HKXTP32yrs2Y
Never have, Only anti-whiteism. Anti-semitism is a Jewish buzzword used to create the false illusion of victimhood
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do stories of individuals who overcame prejudice influence your own actions and beliefs?
@9J38FC91yr1Y
I rarely hear stories of people who overcome prejudice, but they don't really influence my action.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What similarities do you see between anti-Semitism and other types of discrimination, and how can we tackle them universally?
@9J87XY91yr1Y
As a Romani Bohemian that experiences discrimination and had a grandfather who dealt with racism as a “Gypsy,” during the same area/times that the Jews were discriminated, we should increase self-awareness in other peoples. I am discriminated against in college by my peers and stereotyped. Being properly educated on people groups, race and ethnicity should be a bare minimum.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you reconcile the desire for national or cultural unity with the need to respect and include minorities?
@9H89BHJ2yrs2Y
We don't, if they are coming into our country, we don't owe them anything, our country needs to stay our country and anyone coming here must either adopt it or be okay with being left out.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How can being empathetic towards others' cultural and religious heritage build a more inclusive society?
@8V5LHMQ 2yrs2Y
Not sure about empathy but I do understand being respectful of others and respect is what builds a good community.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How important is it to critically evaluate sources of information that may perpetuate anti-Semitic ideas?
@9HSN2S42yrs2Y
Very important to vet sources for their antisemitism and the author's previous views, as well as cross-referencing sources which may show bias.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can a joke targeting a specific ethnic or religious group be harmless, or does it contribute to a larger problem?
@9J38BSD1yr1Y
I think that comedy is a way to alleviate and make light of a situation. There is a line between funny and offensive, but laughter is the best medecine
