    Or catholic priests…

    The Church got away with a lot in WWII, the President of Slovakia was a priest and that country was the one that killed most jews proportionally.

    Lets, not forget either that the biggest monstrosity of WWII was the religious cleansing, who had a beef with the Jews?

    I rest my case.

      Meanwhile the Nazi officials feared that Catholics may cause a civil war if they didn’t put just the right amount of pressure on the Vatican. And Protestants tried to become the official state church of Nazi Germany.

      I think you should take some history lessons. Being Jewish wasn’t a religious definition for the Nazis, we’re not talking about the Spanish Inquisition here. And it’s not like Catholics were more (or less) antisemitic than Protestants.

      I don’t understand the whole hating the Jews thing.

      Had they not killed Jesus, his story would be worthless. They made him a martyr. They’re responsible for making Christianity in the first place

      Oh wait now I understand.

        Hating a minority is a theme showing up in politics, every time a society had a downturn.

        Jews were scapegoats, they were generally seen as greedy and thrifty. So when the economy went to shit, the workers blamed an ethnic group associated with being successful business people.

        The hate for Muslims went up a lot in the aftermath of the 08 crisis. Although the reasons for problems tends to be greed among the elites, they also tend to control the narrative. And will throw a minority under the bus to save themselves
