Why spoiled brats are ripe for Jew hatred
The history of hatred for Jews can be distilled into hatred for one thing: accountability. As John Lennon sang: “Imagine no religion” — that is, no God, no accountability.
Think about paganism-hedonism (whose contemporary expression is acted out at the annual Burning Man festivities) and what it represents: unbridled satisfaction of every desire with no accountability. That’s how spoiled brats live too. Especially the encampment kids: rich college students from foreign lands and too many pampered American students too.
Along comes Moses, a Hebrew designated by an invisible God to deliver a bunch of troublesome dos and don’ts to all of humanity. For this, Moses’ descendants will never be forgiven. There is no lashing out at an invisible God, but Jews, God’s ambassadors on earth, are easily accessible.
People who live by a code of conduct have a sense of accountability, otherwise known as a conscience. In an age of relativism, no such code really exists and hence there is no accountability; a mindset that is encouraged by lax enforcement of the law. Hence, the campers’ demand for amnesty.
Hitler youth sang this song:
“We have no need for Christian virtue.
Our leader is our savior.
The pope and rabbi shall be gone.
We shall be pagans once again.”
And Hitler himself said:
“I am freeing man from the dirty and degrading self-mortifications of a false vision known as conscience and morality.”
Conscience, morality, religion, accountability: concepts that are disappearing before our very eyes.

Other faiths also preach responsibility and consequences, commandments that should be done, or not.
Do you really think Jews are hated because we have “dos” and “don’ts”?
Besides, pagans also have “dos” and “don’ts”. They stand against morality and free will at least as assiduously as we stand for them.
Yes, because it was our leader, Moses, who introduced them at Mount Sinai and it is we, his heirs, who have embodied Mosaic Law for 3,336 years.
Part of the Jew hatred is the status as “God’s Chosen People”. Quite annoying to those who are not the Chosen People, and know it.
The “woke hierarchy” is based on grievance. Israel is a successful country in an area of Basketcases. Earned success is suspect to this new religion.
Jews are also hated for being the “messengers” through which Christianity adopted and widely spread the major Thou Shalt Nots. The urge to figuratively and literally “shoot the messenger” is strong among those who want to commit thievery, murder, licentiousness, and who don’t want a system of justice, preferring a capricious tyranny of “pass this unconstitutional bill because I Wanna” and “persecute the people I dislike.”
