Is everybody anti-Semitic or at least obsessed by Jews?

I only ask because over the last few weeks we have had the protesters in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya shouting anti-Semitic slogans, not that you would know this if you relied upon the BBC for your news. I have also reported on a US student admitting her support for a genocidal terrorist organisation (Hamas), John Galliano declaring "I love Hitler... People like you would be dead. Your mothers, your forefathers, would all be f****** gassed...", the Iranians declaring that "Facebook is managed by a Zionist called Mark Zuckerberg, who offered a prize for Israelis who kill Palestinians." and on and on and on.

Today The New Statesman reports that:

'WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange claimed that he was a victim of a conspiracy at the hands of "Jewish" journalists, according to an article in this week's Private Eye.

Assange was said to have phoned the magazine's editor Ian Hislop to contest a report in the previous week's magazine saying that a Wikileaks associate in Russia had a history of anti-Semitism.

In an article entitled "A Curious Conversation with Mr. Assange", Private Eye reports that Assange claimed the magazine was involved in a conspiracy with a group of Guardian journalists, all of whom "were Jewish".

Hislop challenged him on this claim, pointing out that Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger was not Jewish, to which Assange allegedly replied that Rusbridger was "sort of Jewish."'

"Sort if Jewish" - is that Jewishish?

Why are the Jews suddenly public enemy number one for so many people? Is it because the reality that it is militant Islam that is the problem is a lot scarier to process?
