Different opinions exist among historians regarding the extent of antisemitism in American history and how American antisemitism contrasted with its European counterpart. In contrast to the horrors of European history,John Higham states that in the United States "no decisive event,no deep crisis,no powerful social movement,no great individual is associated primarily with,or significant chiefly because of anti-Semitism." Accordingly,David A. Gerber concludes that antisemitism "has been a distinctly minor feature of the nation's historical development." Historian Britt Tevis argue that,"Handlin and Higham’s ideas remain influential,and many American Jewish historians continue to present antisemitism as largely insignificant,momentary,primarily social."

Zionist antisemitism or antisemitic Zionism refers to a phenomenon in which antisemites express support for Zionism and the State of Israel. In some cases,this support may be promoted for explicitly antisemitic reasons. Historically,this type of antisemitism has been most notable among Christian Zionists,who may perpetrate religious antisemitism while being outspoken in their support for Jewish sovereignty in Israel due to their interpretation of Christian eschatology. Similarly,people who identify with the political far-right,particularly in Europe and the United States,may support the Zionist movement because they seek to expel Jews from their country and see Zionism as the least complicated method of achieving this goal and satisfying their racial antisemitism.
