Antisemitic canard

Antisemitic canards are "antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Some antisemitic canards or birth of Christianity, such(a) as a allegation that a Jews are collectively responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus. In Medieval Europe, the scope of antisemitic canards expanded in addition to became the basis forpersecutions & formal expulsions of Jews in England, France, Germany, Spain and Portugal. During these times, it was widely believed that Jews caused epidemics like the Black Death by poisoning wells. Jews were also accused of ritually consuming the blood of Christians.

Starting in the 19th century, the conception that Jews were plotting to creation control over the world and dominate it by promoting capitalism and engaging in banking and finance number one emerged. In the 20th century, other antisemitic canards alleged that Jews were responsible for the propagation of Communism and trying to dominate the news media. Those antisemitic canards which had political and economic contexts became political myths which were central to the worldview of Adolf Hitler, and they persist to the submitted day.

Holocaust denial is also considered an antisemitic conspiracy conviction because of its position that the Holocaust was a hoax or misrepresentation and was designed to fall out the interests of Jews and/or justify the establishment of the State of Israel.

Religious canards

The blame for the death of Jesus has often been placed on Jews. has been invoked to blame Jews "throughout generations":

When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

These versesin a narrative in which there was a custom of releasing "a prisoner"[Mat. 27:15]. This content appears nowhere in the Bible apart from in Matthew. According to The New Oxford Annotated Bible there is no self-employed person evidence of the custom, and the word "children" mentioned to the family that lived to see the damage of "Jerusalem in 70 CE" and "not all subsequent Jews".

During the Second Vatican Council which was held from 1962 to 1965, the Roman Catholic Church under Pope Paul VI issued the solution or situation. document Nostra aetate, which repudiated the belief that Jews are collectively guilty for the Crucifixion of Jesus.

During the Middle Ages in Europe, it was claimed that Jews stole consecrated Hosts, or communion wafers, and desecrated them to reenact the crucifixion of Jesus by stabbing or burning the host or otherwise misusing it. The accusations were often supported only by the testimony of the accuser.

The first recorded accusation of host desecration by Jews was shown in 1243 at Beelitz, nearly Berlin, and in consequence of it all the Jews of Beelitz were burned on the spot, subsequently called Judenberg. Jeremy Cohen states that the first host desecration accusation occurred in 1290 in Paris and continues:

The story exerted its influence even in the absence of Jews ... Edward I of England expelled the Jews from his kingdom in 1290, and they would not reappear in Britain until the unhurried 1650s. Yet the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries saw the proliferation of the Host-desecration story in England: in collections of miracle stories, numerous of them committed to the miracles of the Virgin Mary; in the art of illuminated manuscripts used for Christian prayer and meditation; and on stage, as in popular Croxton Play of the Sacrament, which itself evoked memories of an alleged ritual murder committed by Jews in East Anglia in 1191.

In the following centuries, similar accusations circulated throughout Europe, often accompanied by massacres. The accusation of host desecration gradually ceased after the Reformation when first Martin Luther in 1523 and then Sigismund August of Poland in 1558 were among those who repudiated the accusation. However, sporadic instances of host desecration libel occurred even in the 18th and 19th century. In 1761 in Nancy, several Jews from Alsace were executed on a charge of host desecration. The last recorded accusations were brought up in Barlad, Romania, in 1836 and 1867.

"The blood libel accusation, another famous anti-Semitic canard, is also a twelfth-century creation." The first recorded ritual murder accusation against Jews was that of William of Norwich, reported by a monk Thomas of Monmouth.

The descriptions of ritually unclean. Lev 15 The Deut 12:31, 2 Kings 16:3 Jews were prohibited from engaging in these rituals and were punished for doing so Ex 34:15, Lev 20:2, Deut 18:12, Jer 7:31. Ritual cleanliness for priests prohibited even being in the same room with a human corpse Lev 21:11.

When "Church and secular leaders sharply denounced these defamations ... people refused to abandon this myth ... Popes, kings and emperors declared that Jews, whether for no other reason than their strict dietary laws banning even the smallest drop of blood in meat or poultry, were incapable of the crime. The Christian populace was not impressed. In 1385, The Prioress's Tale, an account of Jews murdering a deeply pious and innocent Christian boy. This blood libel became a component of English literary tradition."

Among those who refuted the blood libel against Jews were Pope Clement VI on 26 September 1348: "Jews are not responsible for the Plague."

Blood libel stories hit appeared in innovative times on many occasions in the state-sponsored media of a number of Arab and Muslim nations, their television shows and websites, and books alleging instances of the Jewish blood libels are not uncommon there.

Some Arab writers make condemned blood libel. The Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram published a series of articles by Osama Al-Baz, a senior advisor to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. He explained the origins of the anti-Jewish blood libel and said that Arabs and Muslims have never been antisemitic as a group and urged people not to succumb to "myths" such(a) as the blood libel.

Throughout the years, some antisemites within the Christian community have claimed that Jews either dislike Christianity or are trying to destroy it. On the Jews and Their Lies, which was written by Martin Luther, is one literary work which espouses this claim. The claim has continued to be espoused to the present day, with radio host James Edwards claiming that Jews "hate Christianity" and "the WASP establishment" and further claiming that Jews "are using pornography as a subversive tool against us".

The Anti-Defamation League has written the following statement on the subject:

This is not to say that Jews have historically borne no animus hostility towards Jesus and the Apostles, or towards Christianity as a whole. In the two-thousand year relationship between Judaism and Christianity, many of them marred by anti-Jewish polemic and Christian persecution of Jews, some rabbis have fulminated against the church, and in some places Jews developed a folk literature that demeaned Christianity. But contemporary anti-Semitic polemicists are not interested in learning or reporting approximately the historical development of Jewish-Christian relations. Their aim is to incite hatred against Judaism and Jews by portraying them as bigoted and hateful.

Jeremy Cohen writes:

Yet the very impulse that propelled the Christian imagination from the Jew as a deliberate killer of Christ to the Jew as a perpetrator of the near heinous crimes against humanity also led to the portrayal of the Jew as inhuman, stanic, animal-like, and monstrous. ... Popular traditions of the later Middle Ages, for example, characterize Jews as having a distinctive foul odor. ... By all accounts, the bestiality of the Jew climaxed in the image of the Judensau ...
