My name is David and I am living in Cambridge in England.
Why does antisemitism exist? Hitler said he was freeing man from the chimera of conscience and morality and personally taking on the burden of free thought that few people could bear.
The Jewish message to the world is one of responsibility, each to the other. And who wouldn’t resent being told there is a correct way to behave, when it is at some cost to oneself?
And when the Jews themselves seem to be getting ahead, that’s another cause for resentment. It encourages a belief that something else is going on, and that the Jews aren’t telling the whole story.
At a deeper level, the Jews have to ‘get ahead’ otherwise they would not come to the notice of the world throughout the ages.
And when some among the Jews seem neither moral nor considerate, then there is a perfect storm of resentment.
What would the world of today be like for the Jews if there was no antisemitism?
If the Jews were to forget the whole thing and go to the beach, or if they were to decide to forget the desire to uncover that which is hidden in Creation, then antisemitism is there to remind them.
My parents are Holocaust survivors, so in my youth, being Jewish meant being a victim and somehow morally superior. Since then, I’ve learned that when Jacob got the name Israel in the Old Testament, it signified someone who struggles with .god, i.e., a seeker, and that when the Jews left Egypt it was a mixed multitude. So Jews are truth seekers, which explains why they’re hated
