It is categorically false to call "antisemitism" the "world's oldest bigotry." For much of human history, what is today known as the Jewish People did not exist. The "world's oldest bigotry" can perhaps be glimpsed in the interactions of hominids such as Cro-Magnon, Neanderthals, and other primitive primates that periodically perpetrated genocide against each other. Mike Pompeo seems to be speaking from within a stronghold of willful ignorance when he makes this sort of myopic, ahistorical, and politically expedient assertion.
