Why do we still have antisemitism in the 21th Century?
What people don't really get is that we, as a species, keep good things from our cultural heritage and discard what is not good, at least this is how it should work. We know the laws of physics are real, because anyone can prove them and knowing them helped us grow scientifically, thus they are useful. We kept using, writing and applying constitutions in our legislative systems, because they are useful (or at least they should be), we kept things like science, philosophy, and many other subjects, because they gave proof of being useful.
Why should it be different for antisemitism?
Of all minor cultures and ethnicities, why did conspirationists created something so deep and articulated, both in theories and historical proof, about the Jews? Why the Jews, and not the yezidi, the masaai, or many others?
We kept it in our culture, because humans are not stupid and can actually recognize patterns over time. We kept it in our culture not because we wanted to find a "scapegoat", but because it was the Jews who made us remember why we should discriminate them.
There could be serious reasons why many different tribes across continents had bad opinions on them, multiple times in history.
There could be serious reasons why the same person gets expelled from 190 bars, discos, pubs in a city, and why that same person keeps accusing them of "discrimination". Maybe we should question that person, and not the opinions of many different and unrelated people.
The astonishing fact is that antisemitism is not real because WE say it is, it's real because the Jews keep giving proof of their behavior.
We didn't have a problem with them, they had a problem with us, they made horrible things against us, therefore we must answer.
