The term "dirty Jews" is a vicious antisemitic stereotype, rooted in anti-Semitism and pervasive throughout history. It refers to the false and offensive notion that Jews are unclean, diseased or verminous. The phrase has been used to delegitimize and dehumanize Jewish people, often serving as a call for their expulsion or murder. Although rarely used today, its historical prevalence serves as a stark reminder of the need to combat antisemitism whenever it arises.

The term 'dirty Jews' is believed to have originated from a 14th-century sermon given by Pope Louis in which he stated, "Do not listen to them, you are clean but they are unclean and 'dirty Jews.'" This term has since then been used as a derogatory phrase towards Jewish people.
