Also to try to tear down Jews with the "woke" label, like my dude, Jews have been arguing back and forth about fairness, intent and so on for centuries. You can always tell who doesn't get Judaism isn't hierarchical and authoritarian like Christianity is.

A huge amount of antisemitism is just projection Like the blood libel is literally just turning back around on Jews the obvious creepiness and ickiness of the Eucharist ritual (which, according to Catholics, *literally is* cannibalism and must not be referred to as a "metaphor")

And most of the stupid canards about how "international Jewry" has some kind of strictly hierarchical centralized administrative structure coordinating strategy for the whole religion worldwide is just describing how we all know the Catholic Church explicitly publicly functions

I also can't help but think of it as a reference to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which is antisemitic BS

This deep dark secret of what the Elders of Zion are supposedly doing in their hidden chambers is just what the College of Cardinals do, and what we all know they do, because it's what they're officially supposed to do

"They take a tiny cut of money from all the members of their religion all over the world and they put it in all these secretive land titles and investments until they have a huge supply of financial assets and they use that to fund this fortress city filled with hoarded treasure"

It sounds like a conspiracy theory except the Catholic Church *isn't* a conspiracy because it's not a secret, at all We just all accept that this is how it works and has worked for hundreds of years

When Christians want to hate the Jews they just make up all this shit that Jews specifically don't do that *Christians* do and always have done They make up this idea of Jews being mirror-image Christians, the Elders of Zion are "the Pope and the Cardinals, but evil"
