Editorial by Dr. K. Daniel Fried:
The following survey that was done is both incredible and shocking; it should serve as a reminder to all God fearing Christians that we better be busy dispelling the myths against the Jewish people and be against all forms of bigotry towards the Jewish people. The reality is we as Bible Believing Christians are the best friends of the Jewish people and ought to be busy defending against ungodly verbal attacks. Out of ignorance, some believers may not be aware of the deep hatred towards our friends the Jews. For this reason one of our purposes of HIBM is to educate people about what is going on in the world regarding Anti-Semitism, and to do our part in standing with Israel and the Jewish people as a whole. We are commanded in the Bible to Pray for her and to love her.

Here is a detail definition of the term “Anti-Semitism” :
Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism) is suspicion of, hatred toward, or discrimination against Jews for reasons connected to their Jewish heritage. According to a 2005 U.S. governmental report, antisemitism is “hatred toward Jews—individually and as a group—that can be attributed to the Jewish religion and/or ethnicity.”[1] In an extreme form, it “attributes to the Jews an exceptional position among all other civilizations, defames them as an inferior group and denies their being part of the nation[s]” in which they reside.[2] A person who holds such views is called an “antisemite”. Antisemitism may be manifested in many ways, ranging from expressions of hatred of or discrimination against individual Jews to organized violent attacks by mobs, or even state police, or military attacks on entire Jewish communities. Extreme instances of persecution include the pogroms which preceded the First Crusade in 1096, the expulsion from England in 1290, the massacres of Spanish Jews in 1391, the persecutions of the Spanish Inquisition, the expulsion from Spain in 1492, theexpulsion from Portugal in 1497, various Russianpogroms, the Dreyfus Affair, and the Final Solution by Hitler’s Germany and official Soviet anti-Jewish policies.
While the term’s etymology might suggest that antisemitism is directed against all Semitic peoples, the term was coined in the late 19th century in Germany as a more scientific-sounding term for Judenhass (“Jew-hatred”),[3] and that has been its normal use since then.[4]
