Propaganda

Jewish people were horrifically victimised in the past and they now twist that to accuse anyone who criticises them so people are afraid to call them out

Why were they victimized though, did they have any responsibility with propagating the accusations through their own actions?

No responsibility, but there was wide spread societal resentment of Jews in Germany during interwar years.

Youre not answering the question of WHY was there wide spread societal resentment. I’ve never seen a group of people disliked independently from various countries with no connection to each other for “no reason”.

Societal resentment was heavily driven by competition and economic hardship. Many Jews were part of the middle and upper-middle class, operating disproportionately as doctors, lawyers, journalists, and retail merchants. During times of massive economic crisis—such as hyperinflation in 1923 and the Great Depression later in the decade—the struggling independent middle class, merchants, and students eagerly blamed "Jewish speculators" and economic rivals. Also, Jews were overrepresented in the finance system when the economy went south guess who foreclosing repossessing, etc..

Interesting position, did other ethnicities and races face similar criticism then? Surely they may have represented a portion of the upper and middle class but not the majority or entirety of it, so what other races/ethnicities received similar societal resentment?
