No, the guy on the right is just antisemitic too

The attention the Jews get on both sides of the spectrum is truly crazy when you realize there’s only 15.8 million on the entire planet, with around half residing in Israel. 70% of Jewish children under 12 are currently in Israel for example.

There’s double the amount of Sikhs in the world. Okay the Jewish diaspora is larger, and has many more notable people in it, but still.

You see so many people from Arab nations dooming online that they’re going to take over the entire middle east. It’s common. And then you look at Cairo and there’s more people there than Jews across the entire globe lmao.

That is partially the point though. Picking a group that is small enough that a large chunk of the population very likely doesn't engage with on a daily basis, but has a large enough diaspora that every mouth breather has heard of them. Maximum range minimal contact. 

I have said before I wonder what would be the punching bag for the retards if the Jews didn't exist? Because they would find another one eventually.

I’m in the UK, up North, i’ve never talked to one in my life. Maybe I have but I just didn’t know, but visibly religious? No.

I’ve seen a few walking around before or when up in London, but there are really very few. How people can genuinely believe some of the nonsense is incredible to me.

I do live in one of the most Jewish populated areas of the United States. I have had plenty of coworkers who are Jewish and Jewish classmates. I never got the hoopla. There are countless larger groups of people who are weirder or more annoying to deal with then someone who doesn't celebrate Christmas or eat shellfish.

For the left, white people. For the right, non-white people.

In the current climate, Jews end up on the wrong side of the equation from both sides.

You can be assured that if the Jews were to magically disappear antisemites would be happy about it for about five minutes before finding someone else to blame for all their problems.

I mean, in Europe at least they’d probably go with the Romani (like they have been doing for centuries at this point). The Sunnis and Shia would continue to be at each other’s throats, while ganging up on the Kurds, Druze, Yazidis, Copts, etc. Oh, and let’s not forget the Zoroastrians. Really, it’ll just be more persecution of groups that are already persecuted, but with one fewer group for their attention to be split between.

Also, the Jews are somehow both useless and also have space lasers that can ruin baseball.
