Is The Merchant Of Venice Anti-Semitic?

The Merchant Of Venice is one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays but Jews are discriminated against by Christians so much they have to live in a different part of Venice.

The Jews are only allowed one job which is a money lender, a Christian that goes by the name of Antonio asks for a loan of three thousand pounds to pay back in three months  but all of Antonios money are on ships all around the world, but he goes along with the deal was if Antonio didn’t pay Shylock back he could take a pound of flesh.
