Antisemitism (alternatively spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism, also known as judophobia) is prejudice and hostility toward Jews as a religious, racial, or ethnic group. While the term's etymology indicates that antisemitism is directed against all Semitic peoples, since its creation it has been used exclusively to refer to hostility towards Jews.[1][2]

Antisemitism may be manifested in many ways, ranging from individual expressions of hatred and 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 German Crusade of 1096, the expulsion from England in 1290, the Spanish Inquisition, the expulsion from Spain in 1492, the expulsion from Portugal in 1497, various pogroms, and the most infamous, the Holocaust under Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany.

Anyways, my friends have been using the word jew as in insult lately. Like "I got jewed," because they think it's funny... but I don't really think it's such a great idea. They even say this shit directly to the jewish people in my school, so they're kind of being assholes about it.

I dislike all religions equally(or close to it).

Religious people are a different story.  I judge them on how they act, and not what they believe.   It's true that some of these people do act like idiots because of their beliefs but that goes for everyone.

All the Jews in my school get made fun of just for being Jewish. I hate religion, but it's still pretty mean.
