Unique Aspects of Antisemitism
Antisemitism is highlighted as a unique form of racism driven by ignorance. Unlike other racisms, antisemitism can be less obvious, often intertwined with conspiracy theories and historic revisionism. It goes unnoticed by those claiming to be anti-racist. Examples like misunderstandings by public figures illustrate how deeply ingrained antisemitic tropes can be, even when glaringly obvious.
