Antisemitism

 I do not understand antisemitism. In fact, I do not understand any -ism that blames another group for anyone's particular failings. Anti-Semites sound like whiners, refusing to acknowledge their own laziness, or stupidity. I read Jean Paul Sartre's Anti-Semite and Jew while in college, and on my own. He put in better language than myself, words with more clarity than my own thoughts, what I thought of antisemitism and all the other forms of racism.

Along these lines: Jewish Joy, Jewish Trauma: Why They Feel Different Onstage Now.
