The thing with antisemitism is that for the majority of those who engage in it, it's rarely with the explicit intention to harm jews. Instead it's viewing jews as an acceptable casualty to release whatever frustration or anger you have with society or the world.
And that's what makes it so dangerous.
That's why antisemitism is the chameleon of bigotry. The jew is both the capitalist and the communist. Both the all-powerful shadow government and sub human.
It's also why it's so hard to combat.
Because it's common to excuse antisemitic actions under the guise of "no I'm targeting this other group" whilst mainly targeting the jewish members of said group and quietly moving the goalpost to include more and more jews into said group.
When you view jews as an acceptable casualty in your fight against whatever issue, you are deeming antisemitism as an acceptable bigotry. That it's okay that jews suffer as long as whatever issue gets resolved.
And not only does it harm jews, it also doesn't benefit your movement. Jews don't hold the majority of the world's wealth. Jews don't hold the majority of the world's power.
Targeting jews allows those who do hold the wealth and the power, to quietly throw jews under the bus, to engage in centuries old rhetoric to assure their survival and to keep exploiting people.
And this isn't to say that people aren't intentionally antisemitic. Many people are. Many people know they're antisemitic and will either own it or purposefully paint a mask to hide it.
