What is an example of anti-Semitic behavior?

Denying the Holocaust is a form of antisemitism and in Germany it is also a criminal offense (incitement to hatred). It targets Jews as a group by denying their historical persecution and genocide. Visiting a Jewish festival is respectful cultural participation, criticizing a government is political speech (not a religion or people), and playing a sports match against someone is neutral competition.

• Identify actions that attack or demean Jews as a group, deny historical persecution, or spread hatred—these indicate antisemitism. Distinguish political criticism of a state from hostility toward a religion or ethnicity. Look for neutral activities (cultural visits, sports) that carry no discriminatory intent and eliminate them. Remember that denial or trivialization of Nazi crimes is illegal in Germany and signals hate-based behavior.
