    Serious question to your joke. What is all the animosity against Jews? Seems a lot of conspiracy theories put the blame on them, like they’re some sort of advanced alien race or something.

    -Jewish Space Lasers -Jewish Weather Control -International Jewry and world domination

    Hell, even South Park pokes fun at them. But why them and not any other religion? Is it rooted in the Holocaust and the propaganda Hitler used to justify his actions? Or does it stem from something prior?

    It’s also weird to me that they are considered a race of people as well, instead of JUST a religion.

      Anti Jewish sentiment has been a long standing thing.

      It stems a lot of things, but I think it’s mainly from Christian’s in the olden days not being allowed to loan money with interest, so the Jews filled this role. They also are very insular and tend to marry within their sect.

      Due to their ability to charge interest, they quickly became rich.

      Imagine you are a ruler, and you have these religious folks who have massive amounts of wealth and thus influence, don’t share your religion and beliefs, etc. It’s also easy for less educated to believe they control everything, when the Jews are controlling a large part of banking.

      It becomes advantageous to push anti Jewish sentiment and say they are evil, etc.

      Again, my opinion and I could be wrong
