Posts such as yours — "most jews..." — help push forward the narrative that anyone critical of them is antisemitic.

> most jews are lunatics

Ironically, this is actually antisemitic.

he was referring to the famous DNA research, mentioned in this Israeli newspaper:

  Scientists Discover Gene That Predisposes Ashkenazi Jews to Schizophrenia
  Variations of the DNST3 gene make Ashkenazi Jews 40 percent more likely to develop schizophrenia and similar diseases.

https://www.haaretz.com/2013-11-26/ty-article/.premium/ashke...

No. Jews having 40% higher chances of schizophrenia in no way justifies the view that most Jews are lunatics. It’s a minuscule chance to begin with. Saying “most Jews are lunatics” is just antisemitic.

You are ignoring the elephant in the room: the media environment that artifically inflames every single incident that involes a jew, no matter how small. This creates a fake perseption that if something bad happens to a jew in australia, that means that every single one of them around the world is in danger.

Similar to how school shootings in US are inflated to the point that every school has to create measures to defend against an active shooter.

Do this poisonous media tactice over decades and inflate the danger and you will make people pretty nervous and trip them over the edge
