The boycott was a response to the radical anti Jewish beliefs and policies enacted by the Nazi government against Jews

Nonsense. Jewish organisations launched their boycott immediately after Hitler passed the Enabling Act in March of 1933. This was clearly a politically motivated campaign against Nazi Germany. Samuel Untermyer went before a huge crowd of Jews in New York City Hall and gave false testimony about persecution of Jews by the Nazis.

It is really pathetic the way people try to portray that as true declaration of war of the Jews against Germany because of a headline in a UK tabloid.

It was merely the first shot in a long war. Jewish organisations pledged their assistance to Britain and France after their declaration of war on Germany in September 1939. Chaim Weizman, who would later become the first President of Israel, stated that the Jews would mobilise all their resources to help the Allies win the war.

Yes, because it was a State whose ideology was founded on hating Jews. Why would you expect Jews not to mobilize all their resources to help the allies win the war?

After what the Germans had experienced in the Great War, can you really blame them? Jews were treated well in Germany, and occupied many positions of influence. But after the Balfour Declaration was issued in 1917, German Jews conspired with their compatriots in Britain and the United States and stabbed their country in the back. They organised strikes in the armaments plants and disrupted production of war material, politically divided Germany from within through street protests and palace intrigue, and championed the shameful Armistice (whose terms included occupation of the Rhineland, war indemnity and reparations, surrender of war material, and no relaxation of the blockade).

After the Kaiser abdicated and the Monarchy ended, Germany became a democratic state, and the Jews were finally able to exert their power. They quickly turned Weimar Germany into one of the poorest, most corrupt, morally degenerate countries in the world. The Deutschemark underwent hyperinflation; the currency was destroyed, and most people lost their life savings. The Depression meant that many people were out of work, with unemployment peaking at around 30% (and this in an era when only men worked!). Average Germans depended on the soup kitchens to avoid hunger, meanwhile, the Rich Jews and their toadys lived in oppulence. There was rampant child prostitution in Berlin, and even institutes for transsexuals. These were all run by Jews, and were known as such.

If any nation had experienced such a stunning betrayal from members of a minority group, then would they not be well advised to put into place measures that would prevent that minority group from betraying them again? That is all that the Germans did. It was not about persecuting the Jews so much as removing them from their positions of influence, and tearing down all the malign societal structures they erected during their time in power. The Jews in Britain and in America saw what the Germans were doing, and immediately saw this as a threat.

You seem intent on exculpating the Jews from any blame, and putting fault solely on the NDSAP.
