But wait. According to Israel Sahak, slavic anti-semitism had a lot to
do with the structural position of the jews -- between the
aristocrat/landowner and the peasants. The jewish rent/tax collector was
beholden to the landowner for his privileges and earned those by
squeezing the peasants of everything they had. When the peasants had
enough, they would direct their aggression against the money/tax
collectors, not against those who had set them against the peasants.
The state of Israel defined itself very similarly between the European (MiddlEast landowning) empire and the sand n-words. That's not working out so great either.
But whatever you want to say about anti-semitic slavs, they don't quite hold a candle to the Aryan masterminds, do they?
