'The other customs of the Jews are base and abominable, and owe their persistence to their depravity. For the worst rascals among other peoples, renouncing their ancestral religions, always kept sending tribute and contributions to Jerusalem, thereby increasing the wealth of the Jews; again, the Jews are extremely loyal toward one another, and always ready to show compassion, but toward every other people they feel only hate and enmity.'
- Tacitus
This is an ancient passage by the great Roman historian, Tacitus. It sounds identical to the rhetoric used against Jews today, what with the United States and Europe being morally and politically subverted, and robbed by the thieves of Israel. I ask you, do you think that this rhetoric could be identical if the 'stereotypes' against Jews weren't based in logic and first-hand experience? Do you think the illiterate serf rabble of mediaeval Europe was aware of literature from antiquity, and based their antisemitism on it hundreds of years prior to the enlightenment? Can one credibly argue that the same baseless stereotypical fictions persisted for thousands of years, through the dark ages, centuries of progress, and all over Europe? No, the only conclusion that can be made is that it accurately represents the Jewish people. The persistence of such beliefs is indicative of a joint experience across the world of the behavioural and sociocultural underpinnings of the Jewish creed, race and culture, none of which has changed much over the years due to their in-group preference and orthodoxy, (besides from their race which the Jews have engaged in much selective breeding with).
