AlexSupertrampWhy are the Jews always the ones throughout history to be singled out?
i think its easy to understand in general. the magnitude might be surprising, but these things tend to snowball pretty quick.
1) they spreaded out to a lot of countries.
2) they usually were extreme minorities, like a few percent of the population at most.
3) they have a differing religion with "weird" myths and rituals and stuff.
so basically, jews were always available whenever you needed a scapegoat, they never held significant political power and you could always dehumanize them as non-believers/pagans or whatever.
scapegoat rating: 8.5/10, would euthanize again
