Your comments are really way off base and do not support the actual experience of being Jewish and what Jewish experience. I am not sure how you can assess what it is like or what this experience means on a personal and social level. You wrote, "Antisemitism is a narrative that supports itself without any objective facts. Yes, you can find a dozen or so of hate crimes," but the fact is you can find thousands of hate crimes if you just open your eyes and look for them. The hate speech and antisemitism is an everyday occurrence. Also your assessment that Jews are equivalent to whites regarding getting a job, for instance, is an outrageous claim that defies actual personal experience. It's very easy to point to statistics, but statistics have nothing to do with the actual experience of prejudice.

Yes, if we compare the Jewish experience to that of African Americans or Hispanics, we find a different story. But I have to ask why you would want to compare and make an argument of false equivalence. Why should one group's suffering and struggle be compared to that of another as if it obviates the prejudice against them. It's just not logical thinking.

And your last comment is just off the richter scale of absurdity.
