AN OLD PSYCHOSIS
Haman’s Antisemitism: What Did He Not Like About the Jews?: Rabbi Marty Lokshin, The Torah.com, May 8, 2017 — Modern Jews often claim that antisemitism[ is as old as the Jewish nation. In 2006, the Israeli journalist and author, Amos Elon, wrote that in Israel, “the Holocaust was long seen as simply the culmination of a long unbroken line of anti-Semitism, from pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar to Hitler and Arafat.”[2] Although it is difficult to say anything about a “biblical attitude” when the books of the Hebrew Bible were written by many authors over many centuries, in fact, the Bible rarely depicts gentile hatred of or animus toward Jews simply because they were Jews. Pharaoh certainly discriminated against foreigners,[3] but the Bible never attributes antisemitic thinking to him. (In fact, it would be hard to imagine what would have constituted antisemitism or “Israelite hatred” at a time when Jewish/Israelite identity hardly existed.)
