The decisive transfer of this ideology to the Muslim world took place between 1937 and 1945 under the impact of Nazi propaganda. Important to this process was the development of Islamic antisemitism — a particular form of Jew-hatred, based on the fusion of Islamic anti-Judaism from the old scriptures with modern European antisemitism. This paper shows how Islamic antisemitism became popularized within the Arab world by the booklet “ Islam and Jewry ” from 1937 and via the Arabic-language program broadcast by a German shortwave transmitter between April 1939 and April 1945. It also deals with the aftereffects of Nazi propaganda for the Arab world that paved the way for the Arab ’ s full-scale war against the Jews of Mandatory Palestine in 1948. … But with this method too, as before, they had no success. So they … tried to eradicate the Muslims.","PeriodicalId":219982,"journal":{"name":"Confronting Antisemitism through the Ages: A Historical Perspective","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125567091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Or, regardless of Jewish actions or intentions, were they perceived as distasteful, objectionable, or dangerous? Discussions of antisemitism in the Greco-Roman world are legion, and the bibliography seems to grow monthly. I make no effort to summarize it all, let alone to engage with any of it in detail in the short space available. Nor will I endeavor to construct a definition of “antisemitism” which would inevitably be arbitrary, disputable, and probably unhelpful. One can, of course, always resort to the comfortable evasion of saying what was said of pornography, “I can’t define it but I know it when I see it.” On any reckoning, Jews, at least those in the diaspora, were outside the mainstream, usually marginal, and often separatist. That could get them into trouble on occasion, for they were conspicuous, conspicuously different, and, in the event of turbulent circumstances, vulnerable. Scholarship on the subject, which began as early as the eighteenth century, featured by luminaries like Johann Gustav Droysen, Theodor Mommsen, Eduard Meyer, and Elias Bickerman, has labored mightily to identify reasons why gentiles might have found Jews to be odious or menacing.2 The most common reasons postulated by researchers are the social non-conformism of the Jews, their supposed shunning of the majority culture, their isolationism which slid into xenophobia and misanthropy, their monotheism that scorned civic cults, not to mention emperor worship, their peculiar customs like circumcision, dietary laws, and observance of the Sabbath that pagans found especially bizarre and subject to mockery, their religious beliefs that set them apart from the rest of society, their claim to be a chosen people, their proselytism that threatened the coherence and stability of traditional Greco-Roman values, indeed their fundamental ethnocentricity which, as the influential Israeli scholar Victor Tcherikover put it a generation ago, made their very existence a foreign body among other peo-","PeriodicalId":219982,"journal":{"name":"Confronting Antisemitism through the Ages: A Historical Perspective","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129055215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These were based on the theory of the four humours as it was developed by Hippocrates and Galen. Being hot or cold, moist or dry were the essen-tial qualities of every body. Health depended on keeping these four humours in balance. A hot and dry body was the most desirable as it allowed food to be easily turned into bodily fluids. The qualities of heat, cold, moisture, and dryness were connected to the four humours of yellow bile, blood, phlegm, and black bile, which contributed to the formation of fluids like mucus, urine, menstrual blood, or semen. Each of these discharges was also connected to proper diges-tion, with semen being the most refined of bodily fluids, resulting from men ’ s better concoction of food.
