Part 4/8:
The conversation delved deeper as Saad clarified that anti-Semitism manifests in very different forms across distinct communities. While acknowledging the negative attitudes some Jews may have towards Palestinians, he emphasized that the systemic and culturally engrained hatred towards Jews from many in the Islamic world is more profound. Saad noted the regularity with which anti-Jewish sentiment is expressed among certain communities, suggesting an overwhelming tendency to blame Jews for various global issues.
The dynamics of blame were highlighted with humor through Saad’s "Six Degrees of Jew" game, which illustrates how easily any calamity can be correlated back to Jews in the narratives held within particular circles.
