Thoughts on Hannah Arendt's explanation for European Antisemitism?

From what I've read so far her argument is the following

>COURT JEWS manage the finances of petty lords during the feudal era
>Following the transition to ABSOLUTE MONARCHIES court Jews gain in priviledge and wealth
>During the peak of NATION STATES Jews exist as a pan-european network that negotiate peace and finance between states
>The rise of IMPERIALISM means that court Jews are no longer necessary
>Jews are left with wealth and titles, but no discernible role in society
>This then makes them valid targets for popular resentment

I never cared about the Jews.

Imagine listening to any dumfuck bullshit she has to say after she was getting fucked and cummed on by Martin "Jews had it coming" Heidegger.

>>17749795 (OP)
So she basically admits Jews are international elements who acquire wealth and status in nations but hold no loyalty to them?

>>17749795 (OP)
Obviously a vehicle for some completely different critique of imperialism. Anyone can write a marxist history.

All minorities are, it doesn't say to do that in the talmud. When you complain about something like this you're complaining about modern society that permits minorities.

>>17751423
yes. She explicitly states that Jews were not loyal to any one government, but to government itself. This explains why they so easily switched allegiances following revolutions

>>17751607
>All minorities are
This dodges the question of why Jews in particular were singled out, and how people readily accepted that Jews were the cause of their problems

>>17749795 (OP)
Antisemitism is the natural reaction to being exposed to Jewish behavior, I'm not sure what additional explanations are needed.

>>17751685
>why weren't blacks and vietnamese kicked out of 109 countries
Jews keep getting persecuted because they keep existing, and they're european. A better question is why gypsies never became powerful like jews and chose the other minority path.

>>17751720
jews were restricted in their professions,
Christian Europe specifically put Jews in finance so they could sidestep the prohiibition of usury, and also so they could expell the jews when they were unable to repay their loans

>>17752555
I know that
bring back the antisemite

>>17749795 (OP)
This sounds like it's trying too hard to rationalize bigotry. The explanation for antisemitism is Jews are different, they're not Christian and have their own meaningful culture and history. That being the case, it doesn't matter whether they're rich or poor or what the history is. That influences the specific stereotypes people hold, but the underlying reason for bigotry is stupid people don't like things that are different.

>>17752895
this is an oversimplification similar to saying the underlying reason is the sun came up that morning

>>17749795 (OP)
Her argument makes no sense to me.

Firstly,
>>The rise of IMPERIALISM means that court Jews are no longer necessary
Why would this be the case? The rise of 19th century imperialism also coincided with the advent of international finance, with massive funds starting to transit through London (not just from its empire). Jews would have still been there to facilitate loans from more well-off countries to Russia while it was still industrializing, or funding mega-projects like the Suez Canal, etc. Trade would have been at all-an-time high, even if some nations steered towards protectionism when they were starting to industrialize.
Many of the major Jewish banks got their start in that era (Lazard in 1848, Solomon Brothers in 1910, etc.)

Secondly, this argument only works for the Jews in Western Europe. However, Hitler’s antisemitism and hatred towards Jews was mostly directed towards in Eastern Europe (Poland, Russia), which were never the Jews of high finance and trade that she describes. Most of those Jews were miserable farmers living in the wide expanses of Poland and Russia, or confined to the ghettos.
In fact, the most antisemitic country historically was probably Russia (with all the pogroms) and Jews there have never occupied the “court Jew” position she’s describes.

Am I missing something or is she retarded?

>>17749795 (OP)
Makes sense to me

>>17751684
The flaw of the antisemites though is their problem is with the Jews rather than the actual structure of the state and economy. Also many antisemites basically project their own pathologies onto the Jews, like Stew Peters being an antisemite who rugpulled his own followers on a "JPROOF" coin.

>>17753041
So after reading a bit more she goes on to say

>Imperialism meant Jews were not beholden to any one government

this mean that Jewish bankers operated across Europe without expressing loyalty to any one state
She references Meyer Rothschild (d. 1812) who sent his sons to set up their businesses in London, Paris, Vienna, Frankfurt and Naples.

This internationalism was true of the banking families, but was projected onto the regular mercantile jews.

As for Eastern Europe, those states maintained a feudal system and so animosity towards them was no different to the general hatred of the upper classes

>>17749795 (OP)
Why did court Jews get that position in the first place?

>>17753260
>idiot zoomer avatar fag claims correct position with a terrible idiot argument
yuck. Just for that, I'm going to argue antisemitism is correct. It's a form of suppressed class consciousness.

>>17753041
Russia was antisemitic because: a) they had a fuck ton of Jews, b) local population was just as poor and in addition not very educated, c) the government not only prevented Jews from integrating into society, but also supported targeting them in riots

>>17754497
As jews they were hated by enough of society that they could be trusted with power as they had a ceiling on how much power they could accumulate in medieval Christendom. Similarly, patronage of an educated intellectual jew by a nobleman gave you access to his network and his trust, since jews benefitted from gentile protectors should the local yokels get all frothed up and have themselves a pogrom. Essentially anti-semitism and jewish patronage and nepotism are self-reinforcing.
