The evidence from World Values Survey data Tausch, Arno Innsbruck University and Corvinus University 17 November 2018 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/90093/ MPRA Paper No. 90093, posted 18 Nov 2018 03:28 UTC The return of religious Antisemitism? The evidence from World Values Survey data Arno Tausch Abstract 1) Background: This paper addresses the return of religious Antisemitism by a multivariate analysis of global opinion data from 28 countries. 2) Methods: For the lack of any available alternative we used the World Values Survey (WVS) Antisemitism study item: rejection of Jewish neighbors. It is closely correlated with the recent ADL-100 Index of Antisemitism for more than 100 countries. To test the combined effects of religion and background variables like gender, age, education, income and life satisfaction on Antisemitism, we applied the full range of multivariate analysis including promax factor analysis and multiple OLS regression. 3) Results: Although religion as such still seems to be connected with the phenomenon of Antisemitism, intervening variables such as restrictive attitudes on gender and the religion-state relationship play an important role. Western Evangelical and Oriental Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism are performing badly on this account, and there is also a clear global North-South divide for these phenomena. 4) Conclusions: Challenging patriarchic gender ideologies and fundamentalist conceptions of the relationship between religion and state, which are important drivers of Antisemitism, will be an important task in the future. Multiculturalism must be aware of prejudice, patriarchy and religious fundamentalism in the global South.

  • Country Case Examples France
    Country Case Examples In order to give some sense of the overall response to the Copenhagen commitments within a country, JBI chose to present profiles of six country case examples out of the 32 responses that we received. The six profiled countries are France, Germany, Hungary, Russia, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. France Incidents Over the past two years there has been a dramatic increase of highly publicized antisemitic incidents in France. Antisemitic physical assaults and verbal threats increased dramatically from 2001 to 2002, and still further in April 2002, likely due to some degree to the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East.78 The Government's National Consultative Commission on Human Rights reported 216 antisemitic incidents in 2001 and 924 incidents in 2002.79 Several synagogues in major cities (Strasbourg, Lyon, Paris, and Marseilles) were vandalized in 2002. According to the Representative Council of ' Jewish Institutions in France, while there was a minor decrease in registered incidents from 2002 to 2003, there was an increase in reported violent antisemitic incidents during this time period.81 According to Education Minister Luc Ferry, there were approximately 455 antisemitic or racist acts in public schools during the school year of 2002-2003.82 Protective Measures Legislation Article 225 of France's criminal code defines discrimination based on origin or membership (either real or supposed) to an ethnic group, nation, race, or religion.83 To respond to the increasing number of attacks on members of the Jewish and Muslim 78 EUMC, Manifestations of Antisemitism in the EU 2002-2003. p. 98.

    What Distinguishes Disseminators of Antisemitic Tweets and What Themes Do They Use? Gunther Jikeli1[0000-0002-6897-2565] and Rhonda Fischer1[0000-0003-1163-8563] 1Indiana University, Bloomington IN 47405, USA {gjikeli, rkfische}@iu.edu Abstract. Social media is the largest single disseminator of antisemitism. It pro- vides a breeding ground for radical terrorist whose ideological glue are antise- mitic conspiracy theories. While the moist radical groups are on the fringes, many fragments of antisemitic ideologies and myths are disseminated on mainstream social media, such as Twitter. Tracking and monitoring antisemitic messages on large platforms require computer assisted methods. We built a labeled dataset of 4,137 live tweets from representative samples of tweets of four separate key- words, “Jews, Israel, kikes, and ZioNazi*.” Our data shows an increase in the percentage of antisemitic messages in conversations about Jews from 2019 to summer 2020, despite some efforts by Twitter to delete or suspend hateful tweets and accounts. Our statistical analysis of word frequencies, hashtags, average number of friends and followers, and the percentage of repeat users reveal inter- esting differences between antisemitic and non-antisemitic tweets. The paper provides initial insights into the question of who the average Twitter users are who are sending antisemitic tweets and their primary themes. Keywords: labeled dataset, antisemitic users, Twitter. 1 Introduction Conspiracy theories are a core element of modern antisemitism, that is the belief that Jews run the world and are responsible for disasters, wars, economic hardship, or the pandemic. Antisemitism can be understood as a particularly vicious form of disinfor- mation that can quickly turn violent.

  • Combatting Antisemitism: an Interdisciplinary Approach
    Martin Rothgangel Combatting Antisemitism: An InterdisciplinaryApproach The following considerations adhere to an interdisciplinary approach to the sub- ject of religiously-motivated antisemitism,which is oftenreferred to as anti-Juda- ism. The first part provides abrief historicaloverview.The intent here is to dem- onstrate that first of all, one cannot underestimatethe importance of Christian- motivated antisemitism for the spread of antisemitism in general, and second of all, one has to take into account the importance of the antithetical evaluation pattern. Forthis reason, in my view anti-Judaism is the Christian-religious part of antisemitismingeneral. In the second part,attention will be drawntoanti- Jewishcontrasting in religious education, which constitutes more or less the same black and whitepattern as described in the historical part.Inthe third part,the psychological perspective shows whyand how the antithetical evalua- tion pattern is the sourceofanti-Jewish prejudices.The psychological aspectsare also important because they explain how religious education can contributeto combattingreligiously-motivated antisemitism, which is the topic of the lastpart. 1HistoricalPerspectives¹ 1.1 On the Origin of Anti-JewishContrasting ForChristians, Judaism is not just anyreligion among others. The Christian faith originated whollywithin the framework of Judaism; the initial step towards the “law-free” Gentile mission was initiated primarilythrough the so-called Council of Jerusalem that convened about fifteen years after the death of Jesus. There was no reason to suppose that Gentile Christians would playadominant role in the future, nor that Jewish Christians would be relegated to amarginal one. At this time, Christians considered themselvesasbelongingtothe Jewish religion. Ac- cordingly,Christianity was situated in atense relationship with Judaism, one This chapter is aslightlymodified version of M.

  • Lesson Plan: History of Antisemitism and the Holocaust
    LESSON PLAN: HISTORY OF ANTISEMITISM AND THE HOLOCAUST Grade level: 7-12 Subject: multidisciplinary Time required: one class period (extensions available) Common Core standards • CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.6-8.2, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.9-10.2, CCSS.ELA- LITERACY.RH.11-12.2 o Determine the central ideas or information of a primary or secondary source; provide an accurate summary of the source distinct from prior knowledge or opinions. • CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.6-8.8 o Distinguish among fact, opinion, and reasoned judgment. • CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.11-12.8 o Evaluate premises, claims, and evidence by corroborating or challenging them with other information. OVERVIEW One of the factors leading to the Holocaust was a long history of antisemitism in Germany, Europe, and the world. The Nazi-led government built on existing beliefs and prejudices in creating a racial ideology that resulted in the persecution and murder of Jews in Europe. Antisemitism alone did not lead to the Holocaust, but it was a necessary precursor, contributing to an environment in which prejudice, hate speech and violence could occur. This lesson will focus on the history of antisemitism and its role in the Holocaust to better understand how prejudice and hate speech can contribute to violence, mass atrocity, and genocide. Learning about the origins of hatred and prejudice encourages students to think critically about antisemitism today. Included is a review of of key definitions distinguishing fact, opinion, and belief when analyzing historical events. LEARNING OBJECTIVES After the lesson students will: • Understand the origins and history of anti-Semitism • Identify ways that antisemitism has changed over time • Reflect on the dangers of prejudice and hate speech • Recognize examples of antisemitism today, and how people have chosen to act in response PART ONE: AN HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF ANTISEMITISM • What are the origins and history of antisemitism? • How has antisemitism evolved over time? 1.

Racism, and other forms of persecution of minority groups is still a very dire problem, despite the long way we came. This Guide could have been about that, we, however, chose the specific topic of antisemitism. Racists, antisemites, and other haters of minority groups often don’t acknowledge that they are negatively discriminating against anyone. The elusive nature of antisemitism also lies in the fact that people don’t understand what antisemitism is.

  • Christianity, Antisemitism, and the Holocaust
    religions Article Christianity, Antisemitism, and the Holocaust Henry Munson Department of Anthropology, University of Maine, Orono, ME 04469, USA; [email protected] Received: 7 December 2017; Accepted: 12 January 2018; Published: 16 January 2018 Abstract: There is, in principle, a fundamental difference between Nazi racial antisemitism and the traditional anti-Judaism of Christianity. The church’s official view has been that conversion transforms a Jew into a Christian, whereas the Nazi view was that a Jewish convert to Christianity remained a Jew. Nevertheless, the distinction between racial and religious antisemitism has often been less clear-cut than is often claimed by those who claim that Christian churches bear no responsibility for the Holocaust. That is not to say that it is illusory, just that it has often been less clear-cut than is often claimed. During the Holocaust and the decades that preceded it, Christian clergy often stressed the same themes as the Nazis, notably with respect to the Jews being “parasitic” capitalists exploiting Christians, as well as communists seeking to overthrow the governments and traditional Christian values of Europe (Passelecq and Suchecky 1997, pp. 123–36). We shall see that these clerics often also spoke of Jews in racial, as well as religious terms. Conversely, the Nazis often exploited traditional Christian themes, such as the diabolical nature of the Jew, the image of the Jew as “Christ-killer,” and the contrast between “carnal” (materialistic) Judaism and spiritual Christianity. In other words, the Nazis effectively exploited two millennia of Christian demonization of the Jew. Most scholars who have studied the role of the Christian churches during the Holocaust are well aware of most of these facts (Barnett 1992; Bergen 1996; Ericksen and Heschel 1999a; Kertzer 2001).

  • History of European Antisemitism: the Longest Hatred
    L E S S O N HISTORY OF EUROPEAN ANTISEMITISM: THE LONGEST HATRED In this lesson, students will trace the evolution of antisemitism from pre-Christian through modern times and identify four interacting forms of antisemitism in the context of European history. A recent report by the United Nations stated: “Aptly coined, ‘the oldest hatred’, prejudice against or hatred of Jews, known as antisemitism, draws on various theories and conspiracies, articulated through myriad tropes and stereotypes, and manifested in manifold ways; even in places where few or no Jewish persons live. This includes ancient narratives promoted by religious doctrine and pseudoscientific theories offered in the latter half of the second millennium to legitimize bigotry, discrimination and genocide of Jews….” Essential Questions • What is antisemitism? Why is it sometimes referred to as the “longest hatred?” • How has antisemitism changed throughout history? Learning Outcomes Students will be able to: • Identify four forms (religious, economic, socio-political, and racial) which interconnect in the development of antisemitism • Trace the evolution of antisemitism from pre-Christian to modern times • Recognize that Nazi antisemitism, which resulted in the Holocaust, developed from older forms of anti-Jewish prejudice Materials Needed MULTIMEDIA RESOURCES • Google Slide Deck for Classroom Presentation: The History of European Antisemitism SOURCES FOR TEACHERS • Gallery Walk: Overview (below) and Activity (PDF online) • Medieval Antisemitism: Overview (below) and Activity
