Why is the Arch of Titus not considered to be anti-Semitic?
score:25
Probably because, unlike many other acts in the ancient eastern Mediterranean (perhaps dating back to the antisemitic attitudes expressed by Manetho in the 3rd century BC), the motivation behind the First Jewish War wasn't antisemitic.
The actions of Titus First Jewish–Roman War, and those of his father, Vespasian, before him, were aimed at putting down a rebellion in the Roman province of Judea. The fact that those in revolt in Judea were Jewish was not a factor.

Would a monument commemorating the US victory in the Civil War be considered an example of antisouthernism?

Would a monument commemorating Cortez's victories be considered an example of antiaztecism?
Would a monument commemorating V-E Day in 1945 be considered an example of antigermanism?
If not, what makes the Jews so special that a monument to military victory over a group of Jews is considered an example of racial prejudice and antisemitism?

One cannot look at history with the morality of today. Antisemitism as we know it today did not exist back then.
