This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 29 October 2018 and 5 December 2018. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): MichaelSeigel (article contribs).

Suggested edit to the section on the 21st century situation

This sentence seems clumsy to me and needs punctuation and rephrasing:

"In Eastern Europe the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the instability of the new states has brought the rise of nationalist movements and the accusation against Jews for the economic crisis, taking over the local economy and bribing the government alongside with traditional and religious motives for antisemitism such as blood libels".

My suggestion is this:

"In Eastern Europe the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the instability of the new states has brought the rise of nationalist movements and accusations against Jews of responsibility for the economic crisis, of taking over the local economy and of bribing the government, along with traditional and religious motives for antisemitism (such as blood libels)".

I don't want to make the edit myself in case I have changed the sense in the wrong way.truthordare (talk) 17:01, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Try splitting it into two or more sentences. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 18:19, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

X - Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism) is hostility to, prejudice, or discrimination against Jews and Arabs.

Y- Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism) is hostility to, prejudice, or discrimination against any of the peoples who speak or spoke a Semitic language, including in particular the Jews and Arabs.

The definition above is incorrect - Semites are members of any of the peoples who speak or spoke a Semitic language, including in particular the Jews and Arabs. - The current text states that it's just Jewish people, this is incorrect and could be construed as targeting.

Suggested edit: desfinition of antisemittism

shouldn't the definition include that antisemittism is considered hatred towards Jews based on the fact that they are Jews? Hating your neighbour (who happens to be Jewish) for stealing your car, is not antisemittic. However, hating him for his religious believes is. Wikipedia definition as of today: "Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism) is hostility to, prejudice, or discrimination against Jews" My suggestion: "Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism) is hostility to, prejudice, or discrimination against Jews, based on the fact that they are Jews"
