Jews tend to be more affluent than Gentiles, even white Gentiles. This can make them politically vulnerable during periods of widespread economic stagnation or decline. The Great Depression gave us Franklin Roosevelt, who as we know was not hostile to Jews. However, it gave Germany Adolf Hitler.
Even in the United States during the Depression Father Coughlin became a radio commentator with a wide following. Although he advocated nationalizing major industries and strong labor unions, he also attacked Jews and was somewhat sympathetic to Adolf Hitler.
White Gentiles who are angry about their economic circumstances and reluctant to direct that anger toward the rich in general often find it easier to be hostile to rich Jews. That hostility can segue into hostility against all Jews.
How do you feel about Jews? I will begin this thread by saying that I am a Gentile and that I have a high regard for Jews. However, I am not interested in flaming antisemites, at least not in this thread. I want this to be a civil discussion. If you do not like Jews, and/or if you think they as a group have a bad influence on American society, please explain why you feel that way.
If you share my high regard for Jews, please explain why. Eventually I will.
