The mixture of identity politics and victimhood creates a toxic mix.
The universalization of grievance is surely not unique to Jews as 100 years of Irish voting and the Kennedys shoes.
There is far more going on. There is a deep messianic earning among Jews. If not religious, we tend to wish to immanentize an eschaton. Liberals do this and so do neocons. Influenced by the renaissance, the reformation, liberalism and in the aftermath of multiple disasters European Jews felt a need to change the world. But this impulse is destructive and arrogant delusion in the most friendly of Christian nations. Finally, there is guilt. White guilt is a pale immitation of Jewish guilt.

you meant yearning right?
what do Jews have to feel guilty about?
they sure do the guilt-angst thing well though
you’re right though Jews versus Christians is guilt versus shame
that is a loaded statement but really sums up group behavior
some groups (Insane Death Cult) have neither
