Antisemitism is an ancient hatred — and it’s still – Latest News
Historians who’ve researched the origins of antisemitism say it goes manner back.
Anti Jewish sentiment traces to the ancients. Alexandria had a Jewish population mockingly known as lepers or exiles from Egypt. Tensions arose between Greeks and Jews.
Antiquity. Religious exclusion in polytheistic Egypt, Greece, Rome — dietary restriction, Sabbath observance, circumcision created otherness. First century rigidity in Alexandria led to violence. Greeks accused them of separation. Romans known as them clannish. Second Temple destruction, renaming Judaea to Palaestina, was to erase Jewish id.
Christianity’s early days known as them “Christ killers.” New Testament included hostility.
Antisemitism was a gradual accumulation of prejudice. Independence was seen as a risk. Religious exclusivity offended polytheists. Empires noticed threats and then remodeled social rigidity into spiritual hostility.
Outsiders in predominantly Christian or Muslim societies, they have been banned from many trades and land possession. Thus pushed into moneylending or commerce — these roles made them targets of resentment. These turned pretexts for antisemitism in components of the world — even when others of their perception elsewhere had no connection to the battle.
The fourth century. Christianity turned Rome’s dominant faith. Writers disdained Jewish customs. Seen as separate and unassimilable, they triggered suspicion, hostility. Theological angers, they have been developed.
Expelled from King Edward’s England in 1290, they have been forbidden to return legally till the 1650s due to Oliver Cromwell. By Shakespeare’s time — late 1500s — England had few training that religion. Well-known still right this moment, his “The Merchant of Venice” featured Jewish moneylender Shylock together with his well-known “Hath not a Jew eyes?” speech. Literature portrayed them as grasping moneylenders and outsiders. Negative stereotypes then persevered in spiritual, literature and cultural societies.
Mouthing off
NOW, to get back to right this moment’s otherworld society:
Dentistry harks to 2600 BC. Egypt’s Hesy-Ra. In ancient Greece, Hippocrates and Aristotle wrote about extractions and gums.
Middle Age dentistry was achieved by barbers. Want hair clipped? Your molar eliminated?! Same man.
In 2025, Manhattan’s own mouth whisperer is East 61st’s Dr. Marc Lazare, a biometric specialist. He’s Michelangelo with a mirror.
I let you know this as a result of Sunday each Tony candidate’s smile is brighter than Tiffany’s window and final minuters are asking who helped?! So me, little mom, I’m telling you.
B’manner beefs up
AND for a snack afterward on the Upper East Side — since there’s no load of food at their so-called Tonys gala social gathering after — do Dave Goodside’s Beach Café. Inhaling burgers there the opposite evening was Nick Jonas and a hungry social gathering of 15.
SO I requested one bankrupt debtor of an iffy show why he went bust. He answered: “Because I hate to owe money.”
Only in New York, children, solely in New York.
