Anti-Semitism exists till this very day and I don't think it's going away anytime soon. For those of you reading this that don't know what it is, it's the hostility to, prejudice, or discrimination against Jews. A person who holds such positions is called an antisemite.
It may not be as widespread as it was during the Holocaust but it's most definitely still happening today. Take Mark Lewis for example, he's a famed libel and privacy lawyer, living in Britain who says he's about to leave Britain. He's been worn down by years of anti-Semitic abuse and death threats, he has decided enough is enough.
He says that at least 2 people have been jailed for threatening to kill him just for the fact that he's Jewish. If anti-Semitism could still exist in a place as developed as Britain then I don't think there's anywhere that it can't exist.
As far as why it's strictly punishable worldwide, lets take a short walk through history, during the Holocaust alone, over 5.9 million Jews were killed simply because a certain world leader didn't like them. Seeing as such an injustice was done to the Jews, why on earth wouldn't it be punishable worldwide to discriminate against them.
Purposes behind enemy of Semitism are changed, yet most importantly against Semitism is an outlandish and nonsensical contempt; enemies of Semites point the finger at Jews for a fluctuated and frequently conflicting arrangement of objections. For instance, to socialists, Jews are "insatiable business people", while to the entrepreneurs, Jews are "soiled socialists". Clearly, both can't make a difference.
A few factors that clarify hostile to Semitism include:
Dread and disdain of the obscure - there are assessed to be just ~15 million Jews on this planet out of a total populace of ~7.4 billion, and the greater part of Jews are directly packed in Israel and the Assembled States. Thusly, numerous individuals who detest Jews have never by and by met any. It is anything but difficult to detest and substitute finish outsiders, and those that have no learning of Judaism and Jewish culture are effectively persuaded of deception about Jews and Judaism (they, thus, spread this falsehood, making an endless loop).
Christian and Islamic philosophy - to put it plainly, both Christianity and Islam make philosophical cases concerning Jewish prescience, religious philosophy, and shared sanctioned writings. Jewish disavowal of Jesus and his adherents claim of Jesus' God-hood and satisfaction of the messianic prescience that originates from initially Jewish sources undermines Christian religious cases (I.e. for what reason should Christians trust that Jesus was the Savior when Jews, who concocted the idea, don't remember him all things considered?). Similarly, Jewish non-acknowledgment of Muhammad's legitimacy as a prophet undermines Islamic religious cases. The two religions have tried to shield their religious claims through brutality, constrained changes, and criticizing/upbraiding the character of the individuals who can't help contradicting their arrangement of conviction. Over this, Jesus himself was cruelly disparaging of the Pharisees (the organization of Judaism who were the predecessors to present day Jews), and — on account of the craving to clear Jewish non-acknowledgment of Jesus under the floor covering — the Congregation summed up the tale of Judas to all Jews, blaming all Jews for the wrongdoing of deicide (a charge that the Congregation kept up until well after the Holocaust). A great part of the historical backdrop of against Semitism is inferable from Christianity, running from the murder of Jews amid the campaigns, to the murder, torment, and constrained transformations of Jews amid the Spanish Examination (and various constrained removals, mass changes, and mass killings earlier), to prejudicial laws all through Europe concerning what callings Jews were allowed to acquire and consigning Jews to ghettos. The inclination of hostile to Semitism in Europe that empowered the Holocaust is owing to Christian sources.
Jewish moral qualities - certain qualities, for example, sympathy towards outsiders ("be thoughtful to the outsider in your middle, for you were before an outsider in an interesting area") can't help contradicting certain ideologues, (for example, the individuals who are staunchly xenophobic), and — as on account of Christian and Islamic philosophy — it is now and again less demanding to win the contention through character blackening than by exchange and discourse.
The Israeli-Palestinian clash - while hostile to Semitism goes before the contention and Israel makes Jews more secure (by giving an asylum from against Semitic mistreatment), the case the Israeli-Palestinian clash fills in as a methods for legitimizing and further spreading enemy of Semitic perspectives, disguising them as genuine political contention (despite the fact that a great part of the feedback leveled at Jews and Israel is out of extent with the real world and responses to different clashes worldwide and in addition tends to contrarily depict all Jews, not simply particular Israeli authorities and Israeli strategies).
All gatherings of an adequate size, including Jews, have both their great and rotten ones. Be that as it may, disdain of Jews is well out of extent with the terrible components, and a great many people who loathe Jews have never met one. To put it plainly, hostile to Semitism is a silly scorn. It was overwhelmingly begun/spread on account of religious contrasts and a craving to dishonor clashing philosophical cases. Be that as it may, a dread of the obscure, a huge number of individuals with this contempt, and bounteous measures of deception have enabled this disdain to spread and propagate itself. The plain little Jewish populace, being the size that it is, does not have the minimum amount to expose the bigger volume of detest.
