Not really.

Anti-Semitism was rife in Europe for most of its history, and it carried over to America as well.

When the Crusaders were slaughtering the Jews in the Levant, and when the Inquisitioners repeated the same in their captive lands, the Jews have always found Hindu India welcoming them.

“When the Portuguese arrived in 1498, they brought a spirit of intolerance utterly alien to India. They soon established an Office of Inquisition at Goa, and at their hands Indian Jews experienced the only instance of anti-Semitism ever to occur in Indian soil.”
