"Hateful actions and rhetoric against Jews in the United States are increasing. These incidences are not motivated by individual conflicts, but rather by a form of prejudice known as anti-Semitism. It is based on an irrational conspiracy theory that blames Jews, as a group, for all of society's problems. No matter how illogical this theory is, it has been the rationale for discrimination, oppression, and violence against Jews throughout history."--...
