Why Are People So Obsessed With the Jews?
The disproportionate global fixation on the Jewish people and the nation of Israel throughout history reveals a recurring pattern of scapegoating and ideological obsession. Rich breaks down why both historical and modern antisemitism—whether manifesting as far-left anti-Zionism, right-wing conspiracy theories, or media hyper-fixation—defies standard political logic. From analyzing the minuscule geographic and demographic size of Israel and the global Jewish population relative to the outsized hostility directed toward them, to explaining how hostility toward Jewish success and resilience fuels conspiratorial thinking across eras, Rich dismantles the irrationality behind modern anti-Jewish rhetoric.
