#12,
The funny thing is, I don't consider myself racist (and ironically my girlfriend is from Israel, though not religious). I actually agree with a lot of the explanations you mentioned for why people dislike Jews. Those are fairly reasonable points.
The reality is, however, there is no such thing as a Jew. They are multi-ethnic, from various countries, represent multiple languages, have a variety of conflicting beliefs amongst themselves, and have zero biological traits to represent themselves as distinct. They represent multiple political parties, they inter-marry with other cultures more often now, etc.
There is no such thing as a Jew. It is a self-identifying term.
But because it is so empty, problems emerge similar to the ones that you mentioned. "They" (however you define it) are very exclusive to that evolving in-group. They do business with each other in ways that treat outsiders unequally. They are notorious for residing in countries exclusively for the economic incentives, neglecting the country, it's citizens and culture, and taking the finances with them when they are finished leeching.
But another problem exists; the fact that every known culture/race/country/army/colonizers in the history of humanity have at least attempted the same shit--just maybe to a lesser degree, maybe less successfully.
Make sense?
