Anti-Semitism has its roots in the fact that God chose the Jews for a special mission – to bring the written word of God and its attendant moral code into the world. Some cultures see this as an affront, and wishing chosenness for themselves, they seek to destroy the Jews. Anti-Semites usually hate both the Jew and the Biblical moral code.
Mr. Prager points out in many of his lectures that during medieval times the Christian religion was contaminated by anti-Semitism and this is still true in Europe to some degree even today. Prager’s contention is that by emphasizing Old Testament study and adherence to both Jewish and Christian morality, i.e.: Judeo-Christian Values; the Christian American colonists transformed themselves into Judeo-Christians; and our culture has therefore not fallen into anti-Semitism. Individual anti-Semitism occurs here, of course; but not cultural anti-Semitism.
