I hope you're not being sarcastic. It's not as if "antisemites" are born with irrational hatred of Jews. Quite the opposite, I was raised to be 'colour blind' and highly defensive for the sake of Jews, as well as completely ignorant of politics. After researching certain things for so long, and seeing the frequent patterns, I could no longer prop up my positions with rationalisations & excuses, so I reflected on that.
Also it's not necessarily about saying "all of us are superior to outsiders," it's about fighting for the team that you are on. If you were in a competition, would you say "oh, that team is winning because they sabotaged us, so we should just let them win" or would you try to compete? It's also about having an awareness of what threatens what you love.
