Working definition of antisemitism

Antisemitism exposes to danger not only Jews but as well all the nations which are likely to become infected with this ideology. For the last 15 years there have been published numerous works on antisemitism in the post-Soviet space. Unfortunately, there is no generally accepted conceptual basis and no new definitions to let one react adequately on changes taking place in the modern world. The terminological clarity of the semantic field of antisemitism is required not only for the research purposes but also for practice. In the absence of an exact definition of state antisemitism, a question of its presence/absence can be solved via certain statements by officials, or some of the predilections of a person.

The text proposed is an attempt to present a number of definitions necessary for setting up a conceptual basis to provide grounds for the work of experts.


Antisemitism (Judeophobia) – negative predisposition toward Jews as an ethnic and/or religious community, as well as to single individuals, based on their real or imaginary membership in the community.

The public manifestations of antisemitism are considered to be as follows:

1) any violent actions and other crimes and violations of the law committed on the basis of a negative predisposition toward Jews and directed against either a natural person or religious, cultural, social and political, and other institutions, buildings, cemeteries, etc., related (factually or in an actor’s opinion) to Jewish people or religion;

2) incitement to any form of hostile actions directed against Jews or individuals who are thought to be Jews by an actor; appeals for restricting the rights of Jews, in particular debarring them from occupying certain professions or positions in society; encouragement or justification of genocide, repressions and deportations of Jewish people;

3) developing a negative ethnic stereotype, a negative picture of Jews as an ethnic and/or religious commonality (including the statements on allegedly peculiar to Jews depravity or inferiority); transferring various negative traits and vices of single individuals to all Jewish people as a whole, and making the Jewish people responsible for the acts by single individuals; numbering the individuals taken as enemies or evil sources with the Jewish people, and numbering one’s opponents with the Jews for the purpose of their defamation;

4) attributing hostile attitudes and actions against other nations, races, religious communities (including statements about existing secret plots and conspiring against other nations and religions) to the whole Jewish community or single individuals in view of their factual or imaginary being the Jews; proclaiming the primordial Jewish hostility against other nations; explaining any distresses as the “Jewish influence”;

5) denying the right of the State of Israel to exist and defend itself; justifying the terrorism against Israel and Jews; propagating the ideology of terroristic organizations seeking to destroy the State of Israel; labeling Zionism as the fascist and racial ideology and practice;

6) denying the fact or revising the importance of the Holocaust, as well as total or partial justification of the Holocaust and other historical acts of mass violence against the peaceful Jewish population.


There are the following principal forms of antisemitism: state, social and political, and common.

State antisemitism – actions of state authorities including discriminatory policy toward Jews (as far as depriving them of civil rights, deportations and genocide); stimulating or systematic support and conducting antisemitic propaganda, as well as regular encouraging or purposeful and deliberate connivance in favor of organizations and public, political, and religious figures practicing antisemitism. The fact of antisemitic activities by single officials is not sufficient to claim the presence of state antisemitism.

Social and political antisemitism – antisemitic activities by social and political organizations, as well as cultural workers, public and political figures that don’t represent state authorities and don’t perform on their behalf, which are conducted in the form of organizing and accomplishing various antisemitic actions including public appearances and distributing the antisemitic produce.

Common antisemitism – intolerance to the Jews in the context of everyday communicatory interaction, Judeophobia in the narrow sense of the term.
