What You need to know about antisemitism -it's different from all other types of hate that are based on the premise that a certain group of people is inferior to a different group in some way, but rather antisemitism is a giant conspiracy theory; It suggest that Jews are in charge of everything, that they run the media, banks, that we're in charge of the global financial system, we're the communists and the capitalists,
"behind every rock and every tree there's a Jew" (Quran paraphrase), behind every success and failure there's a Jew - it's basically a giant conspiracy theory.
These days global antisemitism brakes down into 3 basic categories:
- Right wing antisemitism (Tree of Life) - not to mean American Conservative right wing, but rather closer to white supremacist European right wing nationalism. In this view the existence of an independent Jewish community is a threat to broader national identity. See the argument of Haman in the Book of Esther, in other words Jews are hypocrites for remaining different in their culture while striving for equality, also commonly expressed as "Jews are about to destroy the Western civilization".
- Left wing antisemitism - much more mainstream, fused deep into the Democratic party ideology. It's based on the idea that there're hierarchies of power, and as the right wing blames the Jewish conspiracy for destroying the west, the left wing revolves around the conspiracy that Jews are these powerful people who victimize others, and because one tends to find many successful Jews, when they're allowed to be- "they somehow must be forever victimizers".
- Islamic antisemitism - most traditional form, "Jews promulgate a different religion, which is a threat to my religion, therefore Jews must be stopped".
