The Plot Against America is a novel by Philip Roth published in 2004. It is an alternative history in which Franklin D. Roosevelt is defeated in the presidential election of 1940 by Charles Lindbergh. The novel follows the fortunes of the Roth family during the Lindbergh presidency,as antisemitism becomes more acceptable in American life and Jewish-American families like the Roths are persecuted on various levels. The narrator and central character in the novel is the young Philip,and the care with which his confusion and terror are rendered makes the novel as much about the mysteries of growing up as about American politics. Roth based his novel on the isolationist ideas espoused by Lindbergh in real life as a spokesman for the America First Committee,and on his own experiences growing up in Newark,New Jersey. The novel received praise for the realism of its world and its treatment of topics such as antisemitism,trauma,and the perception of history. The novel depicts the Weequahic section of Newark which includes Weequahic High School from which Roth graduated. A miniseries adaptation of the novel aired on HBO in March 2020.

Different opinions exist among historians regarding the extent of antisemitism in American history and how American antisemitism contrasted with its European counterpart. Earlier students of American Jewish life minimized the presence of antisemitism in the United States,which they considered a late and alien phenomenon that arose on the American scene in the late 19th century. More recently however,scholars have asserted that no period in American Jewish history was free from antisemitism. The debate about the significance of antisemitism during different periods of American history has continued to the present day.
Antisemitism has long existed in the United States. Most Jewish community relations agencies in the United States draw distinctions between antisemitism,which is measured in terms of attitudes and behaviors,and the security and status of American Jews,which are both measured by the occurrence of specific incidents. FBI data shows that in every year since 1991,Jews were the most frequent victims of religiously motivated hate crimes,according to a report which was published by the Anti-Defamation League in 2019. Evidence suggests that the true number of hate crimes against Jews is underreported,as is the case for many other targeted groups. In an attempt to combat anti-Semitism,the Biden administration launched the United States’first-ever comprehensive U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism on May 25,2023.

Zionist antisemitism is the phenomenon in which individuals,groups,or governments support the Zionist movement and the State of Israel while simultaneously holding antisemitic views about Jews. In some cases,Zionism may be promoted for explicitly antisemitic reasons. The prevalence of antisemitism has been widely noted within the Christian Zionist movement,whose adherents may hold antisemitic beliefs about Jews while also supporting Zionism for eschatological reasons. Antisemitic right-wing nationalists,particularly in Europe and the United States,sometimes support the Zionist movement because they wish for Jews to be expelled,or for Jews to emigrate to Israel,or because they view Israel as a supremacist ethno-state to be admired and held up as a model for their own countries.
