Moved from Anti-Semitism, as it was too big. However now that you can read it, it needs help.Greroja 21:51, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Antisemitism in Spain
Minor correction (I don't know where to put this):(Granada was under Moorish, not Christian, control from 711 to 1492. It was the last Iberian region to be "reconquered", by the so-called Catholic monarchs, in 1492.
Unsourced on antiSemitism in Africa
Very informative to include in the article (encyclopediac, but wasn't able to find sources immediately, I would love others to help me out). But, this is well circulated in the world press on the huge problem of antisemitism is widespread in
Africa
Jews are sparse in number in sub-saharan Africa, except for enclaves of historical Jewish sects in Ethiopia, the Falashas, who traced their roots to the peoples of Canaan for 3,000 years and most of the Falasha applied for migration permits into Israel since the 1970's. Once there are communities home to thousands and/or tens of thousands of Jews each in
South Africa
Farther south are substantially large communities of Jews in South Africa, either of Sephardic and Ashkenazic origins, the majority of them live in urban areas like
Antisemitism in Asia
Also the updated edits on antisemitism in Asia are deleted, while the parts on antisemitism in China and India are repeatedly deleted or re-edited for someones' satisfaction. I don't know on the information on the situation of antisemitism in China or India, was unsourced or violated wikipedia rules, but it has to stop! Here are these posts below, and again I don't want to look like I'm making Africans, (east or south) Asians or whoever else are "anti-semites"...not true! Antisemitism is worldwide and every race/ religion can have prejudices towards other peoples, such as the Jews. The anti-zionist movement tries to make an issue out of Israel's existence as a "white/western colony" of "American imperialist interests" established over Arab/Islamic lands of the "third world" appeals to some impoverished and downtrodden people. The article covered the anti-Semitic hate groups in north America (the US and Canada, perhaps to include the whole continent)...but what about reports of antisemitism in the Jewish community of Australia? +63.3.14.2 04:02, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
East Asia
Historically, the Jewish population was miniscule and sparsely dispersed across the Asian continent. The earliest record of Jews and Judaism in east Asia were trade merchants who took the Silk Road to a number of cities in central China in the 2nd century AD. (see History of the Jews in China) Antisemitism is evident in lesser but noticable forms in China, India, Korea, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore and Southeast Asia, wherever a brief history of small Jewish inhabitation is documented. Today, a small population of practicing Jews continue to live in east Asia. The usual culprits of the primarily "New antisemitism" movement in Asia belonged to the far-left, nationalist and anti-Zionist activists. Some governments are openly hostile to the presence of Jews and white Europeans, a legacy of colonialism in Asia during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Communist China and other east Asian countries have strained relations with the state of Israel for over half a century. However, antisemitism in both political and religious forms are very low in India, home to the Bene Israel sect of Judaism for over 1,500 years and Indian society shown further tolerance of Judaism than in medieval Europe and the Muslim world. The same is true for the rest of Asia outside of Russia and the Middle East, on a more positive reaction by most east Asians in the matter of Judaism and with east Asian religions lived aside each other for thousands of years.

Historic & Current?
I'm confused about what is current and historic, and I moved Turkey from historic to current, but why is this distinction even drawn? Wouldn't a flat structure make more sense and be easier to maintain? --Merzul 18:52, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
FYI, I recommend to move the segments on Egypt, Libya and Morocco to Africa. The two countries are not located in the Asian continent, unless you could rename it to Asia and the Middle East (or separate Middle Eastern countries to have it's own section dealing with an amount of fervent antisemitism in Arab countries and the Muslim world). Geographically incorrect, but let's also expand the evidence of historic and current anti-semitism in Asia, Africa, and North and Latin America. 63.3.14.2 06:49, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Antisemitism in North America
Antisemistism in Canada
Would it make sense to make a page about antisemitism in Canada? I believe that at the time of the Second World War there is a fair bit of information pertaining to the topic - for instance the refusal to admit Jewish refugees on the St. Louis due to the antisemitic sentiments of the Minister of Immigration of the time //etc// As well, immigration policies from Confederation on tended to discriminate against Jewish people (as well as other groups)... --CdnStar 03:25, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- If you can find the sources, it makes sense.--Sefringle 03:46, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks - that'll give me something to do this week, I know I have a few sources already. Thanks --CdnStar 04:59, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Russia
The majority of Russia is mainly in Asia, so I think it is better to have Russia in the Asia section.--Sefringle 21:28, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- The history of Jews in Russia is overwhelmingly associated with Russia's European part. M0RD00R 07:32, 17 March 2007 (UTC)]
- OK that clears it up. Thanks--Sefringle 07:33, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

US section
I saw that the Jimmy Carter stuff was removed so I did the same for Mel Gibson. It seems that the section has more of an historical overtone. The Mel stuff is still pretty current. Maybe there are better examples like the Faraakan(sp) mention? Anyways--Tom 13:10, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- The section on private liberal arts universities and medical and dental schools employing Numerus clausus seems to need citations. Thanks, --Tom 18:05, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Antisemitism in Israel
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6985808.stm. May be worth a section, if more sources preferably for other notable incidents can be found. —AldeBaer 16:32, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Indian anti-semitism
This section is full of POV and unsubstantiated sentences. It is said here that "Anti-semitism first came to India with the Portuguese" and "There have been no antisemitic incidents from the Hindu majority in India in the nearly 3-millennium history of Indian Jewry". This section was clearly written by Hindu ultra-nationalists and adds nothing of encyclopedic value. 89.155.101.155 (talk) 22:18, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Antisemitism in Britain & Ireland
I'm astonished that there is not a section on this page about Antisemitism in the United Kingdom, when there is for so many countries around the world. Or Ireland either. There is a hugely significant history of antisemitism in these countries (& still a culture of antisemitism in some areas of society). I checked the Wikipedia entry for History of Jews in England, & there isn't really very much there on antisemitism either - or at least there is a lot of relevant info missed out. Seems like a major subject has been glossed over. - 86.133.3.140 (talk) 01:35, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- Not "hugely significant" in Ireland, as numbers were very small. A "pogrom" in 1907 in Limerick, whipped up by a priest, not involving educated people. Too little help for Jewish genocide refugees after 1945 (but how many Darfurians are being welcomed into Israel in 2008?). On the other hand, the most famous novel in Irish literature in the past century, Ulysses by James Joyce, has an Irish-Jewish protagonist, Leopold Bloom.86.42.197.252 (talk) 15:23, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Africa : Cameroon section. Is this a joke? Absolutely terrible!
This article is a mess and needs to clarify the scope of this article. As it stand at the moment, it seems to me that if someone from any country has made an antisemitic remark then his/her country is judged antisemitic rather than the individual, coupled with real state law/system sanctioned antisemitism in any given country. For example under Cameroon, just because a deputy justice minister made an alleged antisemitic canard then the whole country is antisemitic? Really! This is just foolish and doesn't really address the topic. The scope of this article needs to be defined rather than adopting this shopping list. Wikipedia is not a shopping list.

Antisemitism in Israel

More precisely: Timeline of attacks against synagogues in Israel is about:
anti-Semitic attacks and vandalism against synagogue buildings and property in Israel. Vandalism of synagogues is not uncommon in Israel

Europe
This article/list is unbalanced in scope. It seems egregious to mention (for example) a radio host's comment in Cameroon as part of a whole country's antisemitism, but then in turn to not break Europe down by country, and to start their overview in the 1990s. I'm no expert but I can think of at least one event that happened in Europe before 1990 and had a lot to do with antisemitism.
I get that this is just an overview and not the main article. But let's try to keep the same scale for each country/continent. I think Europe needs to be broken down by country, and there needs to be information going further back. CivilianArthur (talk) 13:06, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
New data available for Antisemitism by Nation
The ADL 100 list that is the main source for the “Antisemistism by Nation” table has updated data for various countries: it was updated in 2019, and the latest update was in 2023 includes Germany, France, UK, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Ukraine, and Russia. The current table shows latest data from 2015. So I suggest that the table be updated with newer information from the ADL 100. Miraj31415 (talk) 00:27, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
