“Would somebody please explain anti-Semitism to me?”
After years of wondering why Anti-Semitism exists, I honestly don’t know.
There was the medieval blood libel that the Jews killed Christ. Only a few fanatics believe that now.
The Nazis villified Jews for controlling the banks and the department stores. Then why persecute ordinary Jews who were not powerful? To this day the belief persists among some that Jews control world finance & communications a la Rothschilds.
Then there’s the state of Israel, that has punched way above its weight for over seventy years. Made plenty of enemies.
Currently, and in my opinion, today’s rash of antisemitic attacks originate from the “religion of peace” /s.
Hatred of Jews is hardwired into Islam, the Koran, and a majority of Muslims. It gains much horsepower through petrodollar financing not only of terrorism but dissemination of Islamic propaganda all over the world including here in the U.S.
An indicator of its influence here is media reluctance to name the perpetrators of antisemitic crimes, in the name of political correctness. If a nutcase of any religion other than Islam assaults Jews, his identity is blared tot he heavens. If the attacker is Muslim, then it’s hush-hush.
That’s my short answer.
Your answer explains a lot.
Perhaps the increasing degree of anti-Semitism in today’s world reflects the increasing acceptance (by our politicians) of Satan-led Islam?
