No, but I'm not an anti-Semite (sorry, "anti-Zionist" is the new term, right?) who gives any kind of a shit about this kind of thing

i am confident that all the other “how many” stereotypes you have in mind are bullshit too, and have other cultural, historical, contextual explanations, just like every stereotype of every group.

If you look around at the country, you will see that the top echelons of wealth and power are held by a mix of christians and jews, if we divide it by religion. Further, the israel lobby does not equal jews, it equals the israel lobby. Currently christians dominate all branches of government. It would take a biased, dishonest analysis to conclude that jews as a group are in control. i am confident that all the other…

The foreign government is not related to your average citizens regardless of the race in principle.

You're right, the Israeli lobby does not equal Jews, but support for Israel is almost universal amongst Jews. It doesn't equal but it's strongly connected.

It behooves everyone to stop equating antizionism with antisemitism, because doing that actually breeds the latter.

This kind statements are so ridiculous. Should American Koreans be lumped together with DPRK? Should American Chinese be grouped with CCP? The foreign government is not related to your average citizens regardless of the race in principle.
American Jews are very pro-Israel and donate heavily to politicians promoted by the Israeli lobby so it's less of a stretch to suggest that they might be aligned.

You can say that about every stereotype on every group of people. Congratulations: you have (re)discovered racism.
Like what? The stereotype that black people are more criminal has a grain of truth? I wouldn't say that at all. Can you give us an example? I have never until now wondered that a negative stereotype of people has a grain of truth. If you believe that's commonplace, maybe you're the racist and are projecting?

No they shouldn't, because American Koreans are for the most part very anti-DPRK and American Chinese are very anti-CPP. American Jews are very pro-Israel and donate heavily to politicians promoted by the Israeli lobby so it's less of a stretch to suggest that they might be aligned.
These kind of generalizations for average citizens are so dangerous. Today you are racists again Jewish group, tomorrow someone will do the same to other races.

> Does anybody else think it's interesting how many of Jewish stereotypes have a grain of truth? No, but I'm not an anti-Semite (sorry, "anti-Zionist" is the new term, right?) who gives any kind of a shit about this kind of thing
Every quantifiable definition I've managed to find seems to effectively be a synonym for 'Middle Eastern', which is a little ironic.
Also interesting reading that 'Semite' apparently stems from a biblical classification of race. Are people really getting worked up against sons of mythical beings?
