In 1144, the murder of a tanner’s apprentice in Norwich was blamed on French-speaking Jews, birthing a shameful tradition of blood libel
that ascribed to Jews a penchant for murdering children.
As the unknown person who recently scrawled graffiti outside my house
put it: “think Gaza”. Are the Israelis trying to kill infants? Of
course not. They understand that every death is a victory for Hamas in
the international arena.
The ease with which so many reach for Jewish malevolence to explain
the Palestinian tragedy has roots reaching back to East Anglia. But no
longer do the good people of Norwich throw Jews down wells. Rather,
the local council equivocated this week about the public Chanukah
lighting.
Foremost in their minds – these were the claims of officials and who
are we to doubt them – was a single concern. What if the candelabra
was vandalised? One might have thought that this was a matter for the
police. Is it “inclusive” for minorities to hide for their own safety? And if officers could not be persuaded to protect Jews, I’d take the
threat of vandalism above the life of the medieval Marranos, forced to observe Judaism in secret.
But the council failed to buck up. Eventually, after pressure from The
Jewish Chronicle, officials decided to hold the celebrations, but in a
less prominent location and for one night rather than the traditional
eight. So the observances of the world’s oldest monotheism were
rewritten at the stroke of a municipal pen.

Anti-semitism is being normalised all over the world, not just Great
Britian and America. If jews were deluded into thinking only Hamas
hated them, they're opening their eyes now. Or maybe not; they are a thick-headed lot.

The creation of "devils", and exploitation of the
fear/hate created, is nothing new in the world. Jews
were kind-of handy, a relatively small part of most
populations, generally identifiable, spoke a unique
language, a bit clique-ish and known for cultivating
intelligence and - horrors - being good at making money.
For xian nations there was always that thing about "Jews
killing Jesus" ... although that Jesus guy WAS a Jew and,
in truth, it was the Romans who actually did the deed.
"Devils" are easy to exploit by State, Religious and
economic interests. Anything bad happens - blame the
Devils. Need a distraction - incite a panic over the
Devils. The tricks are not limited to Jews and "witches"
often fill the gap.
Humans seem rather xenophobic by nature (and 'nature'
offers MANY more examples). Probably a Darwinian thing,
fear the "different" because the "different" are too
often out to eat you. This inherent trait can be a
powerful political tool if properly shaped and directed.
Well ... people, orgs and states are STILL exploiting it
to further their agendas. Old devils are good devils so
Jews still often get the short end. Short of space aliens
coming down and setting up shop, I do not expect to see
human-vs-human xenophobia coming to an end. "Us"-vs-"Them"
will persist at every level - it's 'hard-wiring'. The
task is to minimize the damages done without doing MORE
damage in the attempts.

'Anti-semitism' is, and has always been, a perfectly rational Human reaction to jew behaviour: Boinie Made Off, Adam Neumann, Harvey
Weenshteen, Jeffrey Epshteen, Ghishlaine Maxvell, Voody Allen, Alan Doishovitz, Barry Zachary Shein...the list goes on and on. The only conclusion is that it must be GENETIC.
"Any people that have been persecuted for two thousand years must be
doing something wrong."
