Blame the Jews!

I've made several posts on Facebook today highlighting blatant antisemitism in Iran, Egypt, Syria, and Turkey. We are talking about outright antisemitism from Sunnis and Shi'a alike. Why are we seeing this up-tick in antisemitism? Because in the region, when the going gets tough, YOU BLAME THE JEWS! And the going is getting tougher. Since the place is falling apart, and sectarian infighting is exploding, no one over there knows any way to counteract the increasingly evident divisions other than to attempt to unite everyone against the Jews. Basically, Jew hatred is one of the very few things in the Middle East that people can all agree on, and rally around. So if you're an Egyptian and you want more reforms, you're a tool of the Jews. If you want to overthrow Assad? You're a tool of the Jews. If you protest against Erdogan? You're a tool of the Jews. And if you don't like Iran, it's nuke program, its support for Assad, or anything else, you're a tool of the Jews. (And, of course, an Islamophobe.) Everyone's a tool of the Jews, including Barack Obama.
