"Actually, anti-Semitism was rather fashionable, until Hitler came along and overdid it."

Geez', this article is mild. You guys should read some Martin Luther on the Jews from the 1500s sometime!

You would think that mankind had realized by now that all would-be tyrants - religious or godless - need a scapegoat. In Europe it has historically been the Jews.

In France it was "the aristocracy". In Russia it was "the bourgeoisie"

In America since ~1900 it has been the businessmen.
