Emerald Contributor
Isabel Ingham offered a ('.en
tile perspective on anti-semi
tism Wednesday as part of "A
Multi- Cultural Gathering ol
Women." sponsored by the
ASl’O Women's Center in the
HMU Forum Room
Ingham, a native of Fugene,
said she beta me interested in
anti-Semitism when two Jewish
friends informed her of the
anti-semitist views they fell
while living in New York.
"Before then, it never o<
curred to me that Jev\s were
treated hadlv." Ingham said
"Mv family has had a long his
lory of standing up for Jew s
Ingham said that being a
non-Jew herself, she did not
initially realize that non-Jews
could lie hurt bv anti-Semitism
It was while attending work
shops that shi' realized that
events such as the Holocaust
did affect non-|ewish people as
much as those who are Jew ish.
"A lady who I knew wa not
jcvvish stood and spoke on the
Holocaust and what it meant to
her as .1 person." Ingham said
It was when she started to erv
that 1 first realized that
antisemitism affects everyone's
lives, not just the lives of peo
ple who are lewish."

gives workshops on the subjet I
Ingham said the biggest prob
lem is many people are reared
with what she called filters that
affect how they feel towards
other people. People <.moot
control what filters they are
brought up with.
"It is as if doctors dip babies
into vats when they art! born
and this dictates the feelings
these babies will have towards
other peoplt! when they are old
er." Ingham said. These filters
are what Ingham said are the
leading cause of anti-Semitism
in the world.
Another cause of anti-semi
tism according to Ingham is
that many people have stereo
types about Jews that are not
true. Ingham used the stereo
type that all Jews are rich as an
example.
"Most people feel that all
Jewish people are rich," Ing

Ingham said Jewish people
isolate themselves from soi ietv
because they tend not to trust
non-Jew ish people

even though they know how I
feel about anti-Semitism "
Ai i ording to Ingham the
two keys to changing how peo
ple feel towards lews in at
tempting to bring an end to
anti-Semitism are awareness
and education on the part ot
non-Jews.
“We have to i hange our
brains to cure anti-Semitism."
Ingham said
On the part ot Jews, Ingham
said that they have to do away
with the skepticism they have
toward others
Ingham also said that to cure
anti-Semitism it is important
that Jews do not pit themselves
against other oppressed groups,
such as hlai ks and hispanit s
"It is important that people
don't argue who is more op
pressed, the Jews or the
blacks." Ingham said. "Op
pression should not divide."
