Antisemitism

He was the true founder of the Romanian ideological antisemitism.[1] :14 His criteria were no longer those of a socioeconomic nature; they were derived from the "nationalities principle," nationalities as units of race and religion, forming the basis of existence of a state and a homogenous nation.[2]:642
