Hello. I’m having trouble understanding several things related to antisemitism (such as anti-communism, Nazism, Zionism…) and it’s because I don’t actually understand how antisemitism itself functions. The explanations I can find online tend to be idealist.

Its not really that complex. The ruling class have always used Jewish communities as a scapegoat. Every pogrom that happened in europe up to and including the holocaust was preceded by crisis caused by the greed and/or ineptitude of the ruling class. The churches in conjunction with the monarchs kept the hate simmering so it could be deployed at a moment's notice.
