The Hebrew idea of holiness is separation, which creates antisemitism

Most Hebrew prayers begin with "Blessed are you O Lord our God, king of all creation, who has sanctified us with his commandments..."

But that "sanctified us" (kidshanu) can also be read as "separated us":


The root of the word קדוש is קדש (Q-D-Sh), which is related to the concept of separation, distinction, or consecration. In Hebrew, this root is used to express the idea of something being set apart, dedicated, or consecrated for a specific purpose or to a particular deity. In the context of biblical Hebrew, קדוש (kadosh) is often used to describe something or someone that has been set apart for God's purposes, making it holy or sacred.


So a core principle of Judaism is separation from other people. This is literally what it means to be holy.

In other words, holiness is a rejection of all other people. This inevitably leads to hostility against the Jews, which further increases the separation in a feedback loop.

So my argument here is that Judaism itself creates antisemitism, which in turn helps to maintain Judaism. Without antisemitism, Jews would assimilate and no longer be Jews. So it is in the interest of Judaism to create some degree of antisemitism.

You have got to be joking. They are by far the most privileged group in the United States.

Too small in numbers to resist physically, historically. Beyond holding out in a quarter of the city for some weeks, they cannot retreat and wage war from the Highlands or Mountains like Scots or Druze or Montagnards. They did help hold Prague in the 1600s and were rewarded with honors by the Hapsburgs, but that's not popularized because it challenges other narratives of Judenpattern seekers..

Privileged how? Do they get DEI preferences? There is no "Jew" category on Federal Races; Jews (and until recently, Middle Easterners) were/are considered "White".

And they also punch way above their weight in discoveries and patents, too. What unearned ethnic privileges did Einstein or Landsteiner get?

Though some are now claiming they somehow cheat/bribe judges at live Chess Championships surrounded by Chess Nerds who would riot and spreg over the least violation or bending of the rules. "The time out was 7 miliseconds too long according to the Navy Atomic Clock!"
