Anti-Semitism is a form of prejudice or discrimination against Jewish people. It can manifest in various ways, including negative stereotypes, hate speech, violence, and systemic discrimination. Historically, anti-Semitism has led to significant persecution and atrocities, most notably the Holocaust during World War II, where six million Jews were murdered by the Nazi regime.
