Explanation:

Before World War II, many European nation - states emphasized ethnic identities. Jews, with their distinct religious and cultural identities, were often seen as outsiders in these ethnic - based nation - states. This led to anti - Semitism.

D. Jews were considered outsiders in nation - states built around ethnic identities.
