Secondary antisemitism

Secondary antisemitism is when someone shows hatred or discrimination towards Jewish people not because of things the Jewish people have done, but because of things other people, who do not belong to the Jewish faith, have done. For example, someone might hate Jews because they think all Jews are responsible for the Holocaust, which was a tragedy happened during World War II, even though only some Jews were involved in the Holocaust. Secondary antisemitism can also happen if someone is angry with something that a non-Jewish politician or leader has done, and they take their anger out on Jewish people.
