The Causes of Anti Semitism Throughout History

Throughout human history, Jews have been subject to religious discrimination, genocide and pogroms. Ranging from the ancient world to 2022, anti-semetism has been prevalent and it begs the question why it has happened consistently throughout human history. The purpose of this video is to investigate the history of antisemitism, its causes and why it is still happening today in 2022. To answer this, we are going to analyse the most significant moments of Jewish persecution in human history and to see exactly why Jewish people were targeted. You’re watching All Things Humanities.
