Antisemitism is hostility to,prejudice towards,or discrimination against Jews. This sentiment is a form of racism,and a person who harbours it is called an antisemite. Primarily,antisemitic tendencies may be motivated by negative sentiment towards Jews as a people or by negative sentiment towards Jews with regard to Judaism. In the former case,usually presented as racial antisemitism,a person's hostility is driven by the belief that Jews constitute a distinct race with inherent traits or characteristics that are repulsive or inferior to the preferred traits or characteristics within that person's society. In the latter case,known as religious antisemitism,a person's hostility is driven by their religion's perception of Jews and Judaism,typically encompassing doctrines of supersession that expect or demand Jews to turn away from Judaism and submit to the religion presenting itself as Judaism's successor faith—this is a common theme within the other Abrahamic religions. The development of racial and religious antisemitism has historically been encouraged by the concept of anti-Judaism,which is distinct from antisemitism itself.
