They complain about anti-Semitism but never address WHY people are anti-Semitic.

"Hate" doesn't just come from nowhere.

Why were the Jews expelled from 155 countries?

Oh, it's just because people separated by distance and time all came up with the same idea of being anti-Semitic for no reason whatsoever.

What are the chances of everyone coming up with that idea out of absolutely nowhere? That doesn't seem possible. Something must've given them that idea.

Well sure, something did cause that idea: at one point someone in the past noticed the Jews, who tend to be an identifiable and close-knit subgroup in any society, and thought they're a convenient scapegoat. That idea then spread like a virus. It just shows you how pernicious and persistent anti-Semitic ideas can be.

If ideas can be that pernicious, isn't it possible that Jews have pernicious ideas of their own which they continually share across time, distance, and the communities that you admit are close-knit and somewhat insulated? Isn't it possible that their own pernicious ideas and beliefs tend to create adverse reactions in society?

Oy vey, what an anti-Semitic thought!

All countries that ban Jews will be colonized by Jews.

Maybe it's their silly prophecies coming true. If they believe hard enough then maybe the goyim will actually be born hating them for no reason other than they are meshuganah.

Not being Jewish is racism against God.

This book builds upon my previous work, A People That Shall Dwell Alone: Judaism as a Group Evolutionary Strategy (MacDonald 1994; hereafter PTSDA). While PTSDA focused on developing a theory of Judaism within an evolutionary framework, the present volume focuses on the phenomenon of anti-Semitism. Judaism and anti-Semitism fairly cry out for an evolutionary interpretation. Anti-Semitism has been a very robust tendency over a very long period of human history and in a wide range of societies with different forms of government, different economic systems, and different dominant religious ideologies. Many anti-Semitic episodes, such as the Iberian inquisitions and the Nazi holocaust, have been characterized by extraordinary intra-societal violence. Moreover, anti-Semitism has sometimes been characterized by a very overt, self-conscious racialism—a phenomenon that immediately suggests the relevance of evolutionary theory.
