Talk:Timeline of antisemitism in the 19th century

Bad examples

E.g.

Compulsory military service for the Jews of Russia: Jewish boys under 18 years of age, known as the Cantonists, were placed in preparatory military training establishments for 25 years. Cantonists were encouraged and sometimes forced to baptize.

Cf. the Cantonist article:

There was forcible conscription of underage recruits from the populations of indigenous peoples, Old Believers, Gypsies, and common vagabonds from 1805, Jews from 1827, and Poles from 1831.[2]

... Jews were made liable to personal military service and were subject to the same conscription quota as all other tax-paying estates ("sosloviya") in the Russian Empire. The total number of conscripts was uniform for all populations (four conscripts per each thousand subjects); however, the actual recruitment was implemented by the local qahals and so a disproportionate number of Jewish conscripts were underage.

So: 1. The Jews were actually priviledged at first. 2. It was the Jewish qahals that may have been partially to blame in their selection. Shall we list them here as anti-Semitic?

Ditto for the Algerian examples, where the beheadings etc. were mostly due to a struggle between local Jewish families in their quest for power. Check the refs in the current main articles.

Or:

1829
The law in Canada requiring the oath "on my faith as a Christian" was amended in 1829 to provide for Jews to not take the oath.

This looks like an example of emancipation to me: the opposite, philosemitism of sorts.
