After thinking about it, I've concluded that Judaism requires some amount of antisemitism in order to continue existing as a minority religion.

If there's too much, that's obviously bad, because genocide.

But on the other hand, if there is too little antisemitism, Jews rapidly assimilate into the mainstream and a distinct Jewish community no longer exists. This has even been openly stated by some groups - that America is "Killing the Jews with kindness." By which they don't mean literal killing, only a removal of all barriers to assimilation.

I think white South Africans are also at enormous risk of genocide by the black majority because they maintain a distance and distinct identity.

The same thing plays out with every minority group that is determined not to assimilate. The Armenians were careful to maintain distinctions between themselves and the Turks. Heck, the Amish don't really want to talk to you either, because outside influences are a threat to their identity. But no one hates the Amish because they are so darn peaceful.

Another counterexample would be the Parsis of India. They don't intermarry with non-Parsis and are quite distinct and very rich. Non-Parsis may not even set foot in Parsi fire temples. But they make a point of benevolent public works and are highly regarded in India. So maybe a strategy of maintaining some hostility and tension is not absolutely necessary to maintain an ethnic minority in the long term, and other strategies could work as well.

The left is all about weaponized resentments.

I saw a great thread where a bunch of Black Supremacists where claiming they were "Genocided" by White South Africa.

Then somebody said "Name and date this genocide"

They couldn't.

The only SA history atrocity I know of is when Shaka Zulu's Assassin and Replacement lured the Voertrekkers (White) in on a false promise of a treaty and massacred them, a few hundred I believe.

Have you read the Tanakh, Mishna and Gemara?

I think the whole Talmud is a post-exile cope.

But here is the online version, not the one written by a 1600s Counter Reformation Jesuit with a humbug and a biased translation:
https://www.sefaria.org/texts/Talmud

If you cross reference "Dey Saidz this! Goyim bad, kill all (Ha-Whatever Ch'ach Sound like Throat clearing 13:69)" with the actual online, you'll see it's about Amalekites (not "All Goyim") or if a rabbi can walk through a non-Jewish cemetary (yes) or whether a 12-year old should be killed for fucking a goat (no, as manhood begins when responsibilities of marriage/work are undertaken and independence achieved)

Zionism is beautiful Hebrew Nationalism, as valid as Irish, Catalonian, and Scottish Nationalism, backed with beautiful nuclear weapons. The Indo-Pak border has seen more deaths than all the Arab-Israeli wars since 1947, as do 8 other Middle East conflicts, like the Iran-Iraq War.
