Hello. I’m having trouble understanding several things related to antisemitism (such as anti-communism, Nazism, Zionism…) and it’s because I don’t actually understand how antisemitism itself functions. The explanations I can find online tend to be idealist.

Jews are just an easy target. Fascists need an in-group and an out-group to function. When they get rid of one out-group, they have to pivot to a new one.

Jews are an easy target because they're a minority with "weird" views. Just like socialists, romani, gay people, etc.
