you have reached a point of being entirely too silly, antisemitism was coined in 1881, it wasn't around for thousands of years either, so I guess either way its egg on your face. Everything before then I imagine was just a variety of categories of distaste for jews, like one might bandy about their distaste of drinking sewage, or licking random coinage found mucking about in the streets, or it might have been the parasitic nature of a tribe of people who routinely and historically had no home and therefore live somewhat like fleas on a dog, or a tape worm even. They were more of an annoyance for most of western history really, hardly a footnote, entirely forgettable till the last couple centuries when they managed to weasel their way into so many institutions of civilized men; imagine a parasite adapting to the better nature of its host like some waste bacteria that the penicillin missed.
