Anti-Semitism – Japan Masami Uno
lthough anti-Semitism has found support among certain segments of all social groups, Japanese society at large and its governments have never adopted firm anti-Semitic attitudes. The idea of Jewish economic, political and intellectual “omnipotence” (mannoron) — an integral though “soft” form of Jew-hatred which sometimes inadvertently instills suspicion and fear among non-Jews — has gained wide adherence among Japanese who are not otherwise anti-Semitic.
