Anti-Semitism (also spelled antisemitism) is hostility, prejudice, or discrimination against Jews.[1] A person who holds such positions and ideas is called an anti-Semite. Anti-Semitism is generally considered to be a form of racism. The term was coined in 1879 by the German anti-Semite Wilhelm Marr to label the anti-Jewish campaigns ongoing in central Europe at that time. Nazi anti-Semitism, which climaxed in the Holocaust, had a racist quality in that it targeted Jews based on alleged "biological characteristics". This sort of anti-Jewish racism dates only to the development of so-called “scientific racism” in the 1800s and is different in nature from other, earlier anti-Jewish prejudices.[2]
