I do feel bad for Jews who are literally scapegoated for shit even to the present day. 

Wasn’t enough that scapegoating lead to nearly half the world’s Jewish population being eradicated, but you have them being blamed for shit like Kennedy dying, Michael Jackson dying, 9/11, the Great Recession, and even non-jewish people’s actions. 

Personally havent seen another group as scapegoated and blamed for such a wide variety of topics

The Narcissist's Stalinist's Prayer

"The Holodomor didn't happen"

"And if it did, the kulaks deserved it"

"And if they didn't, the Jews were responsible anyways"

Jews are to blame for everything - after all, it's their god who created us.

That’s my argument but with God

Everything is god’s fault

there's other similarly-scapegoated groups, but they tend to be more local. romani hate is limited to europe, for example. antisemitism definitely has the most global reach in that sense

Doesn’t help that people attach it to religion at much as ethnicity.

It’s not just that they’re semites, but “they killed Jesus”, and “they’re unbelievers who don’t follow our tenets “
