In my head’s version of ‘national identity’ Jews are as welcome as anyone else. I was as angry as anybody seeing that. But trust the MSM to show just that few seconds clip and ignore the rest of the people who were saying ‘you’ (which I think was a direct response to the minorities who brag europeans are a dying race because we’re not having enough children). (although I wonder if that Vice clip was from May and not August)
I’m going to guess here, but I think the resentment of Jews thing goes all the way back to the Moor invasion of Europe where the Jews worked with the Muslims to repress the natives. Their cultures were similar and moors gave Jews special privileges (store owners/moneychangers/professional occupations) the natives weren’t allowed, which bred a lot of generational resentment and mental coupling of the atrocities of the Moors with the Jews themselves. All that pretty much ended when Isabella and the Catholic Church kicked the Muslims out in 1492 and ‘accomplice’ Jews were chased out of former muslim occupied lands. (England and a few other nations welcomed Jews but they remained shunned most places.)
That was 600 years ago and completely irrevelant to today, but the propaganda that Jews would again cooperate with muslims to repress others is used by some hatemonger groups to keep the fear burning, and the unwashed gullible are stupid enough to swallow it hook line and sinker. I sometimes wonder if the Jewish community came out enmasse with a political blanket apology for 600 years of participating in European repression, it might diffuse the propaganda for good, but it was so long ago, I’m not sure if it would really do any good or just inflame things more. And America apologizing for slavery didn’t do much good, either - there are some unwashed who also buy the propaganda that given the chance, whites would throw minorities into chains.
Do you really think that modern anti-Semitism is based on the idea that Jews are in cahoots with Muslims?
That’s a stretch of monstrous proportions.
