Why not attack Jews?

He's a former financial reporter who has a book out about how government run healthcare would destroy the country. He's worked at the Washington Examiner and the American Spectator. Hardcore conservative rags. His niche is right wing Jew. He did leave the Republican party over Trump but...whatever. I don't think his point was to say antisemitism is wrong. I think his point was driven by a knee jerk reaction.

I lived in an almost all Jewish neighborhood in a major city. Reform, Conservative and Orthodox. And even they battle against each other. I'm an atheist so maybe my perspective is tinted by that but my thinking, based on what I've seen and how I was personally treated by many, is that the idea of persecution, and "us vs. them," is what drives the Jewish American train. So my thinking is that he responded because he had an opportunity given the rants of a seriously insane celebrity. It wasn't about anything other than "See how persecuted we are and what we have to put up with?" Most Jews, like most evangelical Christians, will never miss an opportunity to feel "wronged" or create separation. It's to be expected and, in my opinion, diminishes validity when real issues of antisemitism present themselves.
