Reply #74: The Chinese in Malaysia...

Also the Chinese in Indonesia. The Indians in Fiji, and also in Uganda (who were expelled during the reign of Idi Amin) and other parts of Africa.

There are also wealthy Palestinian and Lebanese diaspora communities in South America and in the case of the Lebanese, West Africa. Ironically, the sympathy felt by much of the third world towards the Palestinians has shielded them from resentment in those countries where they have assumed relative wealth and influence - such as El Salvador and Belize which have had Palestinian presidents.

From what I can tell, most Jews prefer to believe that anti-semitism is some kind of metaphysical "cosmological constant" rather than a social or political phenomenon, perhaps because that way they can portray anti-semitism as being categorically unique, and also because they probably believe that attributing anti-Jewish sentiment to the relative wealth and influence of Jewish people would be akin to blaming Jews for their own persecution.
