I base my perspective on modern anti-Semitism on historical materialism: as human subjects of history there is nothing exceptional or unique about Jews. Ordinary Christians never wake up one morning with a crazed impulse to persecute Jews because holy text singles them out as Christ killers. The Old Testament also said " do not suffer a witch to live ". And there were insane witch hunts. But these witch hunts were not " explained " by holy text.. They were explained by peculiar cultural conditions.
Hitler's case against the Jews in " Mein Kampf " is nowhere explained by their role as " Christ Killers ". The Nazi pagan Hitler- and many other Germans- were well aware of the predominance of Jews in international banking and finance capital.. But he made the same mistake as anti-Italian bigots who imagine every person with an Italian surname is " connected " to organized crime.
Oddly enough, Hitler raged against MARXIST Jews. But what did any poor Marxist Jew have to do with the dizzy world of BIG MONEY ?
Is it not only sane to ask WHY the hostility to Jews today ? It has nothing to do with this Christ killing farce and everything to do with Zionism and clinging to the values of global capitalism. To Ayn Rand-ism, for example.
