Document Summary
At first jews were seen as strange because they only believed in one god when everyone else believed in multiple gods. People were hostile towards them because of this. Then in 337 ce the roman emperor constantine converted to christianity, so then mostly everyone became christian and considered jews non believers and heretics. They thought that jews did not work hard to earn their money and that they were greedy. Also that they were cowards because they tried to get out military service. Anti-judaism is opposition to judaisim as a religion, while antisemitism is prejudice against and hatred of, jews as a people. An example of anti-judiasm was in the french revolution when jews were allowed to be citizens, but could not be acepted as a religious group. Also in the roman empire, it was antijudaisim when jewish was no longer classified as a religion. Antisemitism is exemplified by kristallnatch, the shaving of the beards, and burning of the synongogs.
