I am watching it right now.
It's amazing. He does have a "why do people hate the Jews" section.

It goes like: When society prospers, noone hates the jews.

When society collapses, people just somehow decide to hate the jews all of a sudden.

(Notice, that this does NOT include the explanation, why iy's the jews who get magically chosen. A word "somehow" is not an explanation, and a guy with his IQ should know that.)

Jews get blamed, because they were blamed in the past. They've been stuck in this repetitive circle for probably thousands of years.

It's always a matter of searching for a scapegoat for society's ills, not finding an easy solution, and then suddenly remembering that about 50-100 years ago, people were really paranoid about "muh juice". So they latch on to it again for some easy and cheap catharsis.

At the very least it goes back to the days of early Christianity, when Jews were blamed for Jesus' crucifixion.

That is really convenient solution.
But it is MUCH less convincing, then reading ADL articles for 10 minutes. Or looking at how inflation works. Or finding out jewish represents in government and Media.

The good old "my fellow white people" joke would not be possible, if the examples in society didn't confirm it.

I'm not saying that a lot of them aren't weirdly fitting all the stereotypes, but that's true of all races or ethnicities.

But the difference ultimately is that fixation on past accusations. People see coincidences today, and immediately connect them with past claims of Jews being cabals etc. Most other ethnicities don't have that history to connect today's happenings to.

We can just as easily find coincidences and evidence for power greed for Germans for instance, but at best you could make a connection to the Nazis, and it stops there. That's not a lot of history of "look how evil they are" to be that impactful.

Who is fixated on past accusation?
I have heard about holocaust and antisemitism on repeat since I was a child. We had a special classes in school just to learn about the jews, and as I said, holocaust cannot be denied by law.

So, how do you want to even try telling me, that they aren't begging to be excluded?
