Because the #fakehatecrime letters to synagogues sure increase the stats.Even if it's a Jewish perp, it still counts in these stats, which is very dishonest. And Jewish groups like ADL understand what CAIR does. That you have to create the narrative, "We're under attack" to increase publicity and DONATIONS. So the #fakehatecrime guy got caught. How many others are out there? Trump winning has nothing to do with existing anti-Semitism. |

I heard that a lot back in the day, and actually changed a few minds. With one I asked the question: Why is that you can support so many nationalist movements, including Ho Chi Minh*, but the national movement of the Jewish people is condemned?*Yes, he was outstandingly a nationalist. |

In my entire life I have personally ever heard one anti Semitic comment from a non-Muslim. 25 years ago someone I know used the expression "Jew someone down" as a euphemism for getting the best price possible. Now muslims otoh are pretty open about it if in fact anti-Zionism means anti-Jewish. |

And not among his imaginary "Christian Zionists". Among the left, where it has always been.“What is the secular basis of Judaism? Practical need; self-interest. What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly god? Money. Very well, then! Emancipation from huckstering and money, consequently from practical, real Judaism, would be the self-emancipation of our time.” . . .This is always the answer one must give when people ask "Why does the left hate the Jews so much?"—because the left doesn't want that fact exposed. |

It's intrinsic to the nature of the state of Israel. An anti-Zionist does not want any Jews to have a state in their ancestral homeland and wants the land there to be possessed by a Muslim caliphate. |

Yes, so was the n-word, but I'm not going to cry about it. When somebody says they want to do some one down in the price, I can guarantee that hatred for the Jewish people is not going through their mind when saying it. Just like if I told my friend not to Welsh on a bet, I do not have hatred to the Welsh people as well. |

Why do people want to put the Jewish people in their own category instead of putting them with everyone else? I grew up with friends from all different nationalities and backgrounds. Including about three or four Jewish kids. Now they had fixed games, but some of their relatives did not like if we said jokes about them. Of course it was perfectly okay, and in college, to make Norwegian jokes, Irish jokes, Italian jokes, German jokes, Puerto Rican jokes. That was okay, but you couldn't make any Jewish jokes. My pain has everybody's the same and that's the bottom line |

It's a question of how derogatory the jokes are.I've never in my life heard a really derogatory Norwegian joke. I've hardly heard a seriously derogatory German joke (the worst I've heard is calling a German a Nazi for no reason other than being German). Puerto Rican, Italian and Polish jokes - more derogatory. Jewish and black jokes - very derogatory. |

Which of the groups you mentioned, other than Jews, are singled out for comment even in countries, and during historical times, where most people never saw, no less had interaction with, Jews.When Shakespeare wrote The Merchant of Venice and Marlowe wrote The Jew of Malta (contemporaneous with each other), Jews were forbidden in the UK; Jews are the universal "Other." Why did you mention these different ethnicities and single out Jewish jokes? You could make "black" jokes? For my own part I couldn't care less about "Jew" jokes so long as they're not made with malice. |

We have to get thicker skins and not worry about silly things such as this. Why are Jewish men circumcised? Because Jewish women love 10% off everything! Why are black people so tall? Because their "knee grows"! What do you call a German in a bad mood? A sour kraut! What do you call a very good-looking woman walking down the street in Dublin Ireland? A tourist! What does a Catholic priest and finishing 2nd in a race have in common? They both just came in a little behind! And don't get me started on the Polish jokes! Anyway, jokes like the above all funny and if you offended by that, you people have no lives! |

Well for one thing, Puerto Ricans did not exist until the 1500s. I did not single the Jews out, that was my whole point Exclamation point everybody can be made fun of, that's the good thing about living in New York City where we are a Melting Pot and everyone gets along with each other for the most part. |

We don't have many trump voters where I am. There were lots of fiscal conservatives in OC when I worked there but I never heard any of them say anything anti Semitic.Maybe it's regional? Maybe it's generational? But in my experience Jews almost never come up in conversation whether positively or negatively. They're not a people that the people I associate with think about.

"Partly because Jew hatred has become socially acceptable"Actually, it is not just socially acceptable, it's a part of life. Jokes that is intolerable for other groups are always tolerable about Jews. Even so-called "observations" that you would not be allowed to make about other groups are also widely accepted. Lastly, even anti-semitic talking points made subconsciencly from people who are not even nazi's take place, because it is so ingrained in our language and culture now, that people don't even realize it. And I'm ignoring the fact that you cannot take two steps on the internets without the punishment free naziism. |

Christian Zionists are not imaginary and you know it. You just can't stand the fact some of us exposed your ilk for what it is. Anti-Semitism is a threat from both the right and left and many Jews have the good sense to recognize that. |
