The Hostility between Jews and Anti-Semites
The hostility between Jews and anti-Semites can be easily traced back to those groups that reject the good faith in favor of the ill faith. Anti-Semites devote their efforts and resources to opposing the Jewish religion and everything it stands for. They consider the Jewish religion to be an illegal faith that should not be listed by anyone. There are no convincing reasons provided to justify the underlying cause of their animosity. Anti-Semites, on the other hand, generate Jews in a variety of ways. First, these ideas hold numerous perceptions of the Jewish people, the majority of which tend to degrade their reputation while some raise their social standing. Sartre argues that anti-Semitism considers Jewish as the main cause of all misfortunes that befall the community and as a result of their presence. They add that the only way to remedy this problem is by depriving them all their resources and more so keep them out of the economic zones.
In response to these arguments
In response to these arguments, Sartre argues that anti-Semitism does not have reasonable arguments since their opinions are false and dangerous. Even though these claims encourage the Jews to rise and show these groups of their presence, these opinions should be rejected since their objective is to suppress certain groups and strengthen others that do not deserve it. Their opinion is also not based on empirical information but rather on viewpoints from particular groups.
Anti-Semite is responding to Jewishness
The difference between anti-Semite and Jews is the faith held by these two groups. The Jewish people hold certain beliefs that are mostly rejected by anti-Semite on the basis that nothing good comes from the Jews; these are assumptions since there is empirical research that supports this argument. The Jewish people are believed to have good faith that intimidates anti-Semite in a big way. This faith is associated with all good things such as values and passion for the religion. Reasoning and truth are the cornerstones of this religion. Well, all these features threaten the anti-Semites. They choose hate instead of love. They long to be impenetrable like the Jews and hence adopt a passion for their desires as a method of achieving these objectives. They also argue that hate is a faith which is similar to what the Jews consider as love.
Sartre defines authenticity
Sartre defines authenticity as a process through which one has the freedom to choose from facticity and transcendence of the matter. Sartre also states that authenticity also has clear notions of practical consequences that separate authentic from inauthentic. Sartre states that being an authentic Jews require one to have a clear coordination of facticity and transcendence. They also avoid any chances that may cause them to lose their desire for being who they are. Authenticity and inauthenticity are separated by the ability to use freedom during the interaction with facticity to make the right decisions or the wrong decision. In other words, inauthenticity is closely linked with the poor decisions and hence considered as bad faith.
The authenticity of the Jews
The authenticity of the Jews is perceived as a problem by the anti-Semites which is perceived to originate from their love for passion. They are also syncretic since they do have a specific statement that shows the reason for their Jewish dislike nature. However, most of these people have problems with how traditions continue to endow the Jews.
