Judaism is a monotheistic religion based strongly rooted in the history of the Jewish people and their relationship with God. Judaism is the one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions and provided the root for Christianity and Islam, both of which accept the Jewish scriptures as the Word of God, even while maintaining that other texts denied by Judaism also merit the same title.

Jews are commonly the victims of persecution by fascist nations and also by extremists of other religions. Some Jewish leaders attribute this to the fact that, while there are Jewish minorities in a great many nations, perhaps most human nations, there are very few states which are predominantly Jewish. However, it is debatable whether this would make much of a difference. The presence of numerous strong elven states does not prevent anti elf persecution, after all.
