I think he means the pogroms that used to happen when everyone owed the jewish bankers a bunch of money. Easiest thing was to drive them out of town or kill them instead of paying them back.

His comment seems mostly true, just bad english has his conclusion a bit muddled.

The plight of the Jewish people being a workers rights thing is what I’m getting at.

It’s a way to remove the cause of antisemitism and pretend it doesn’t exist.

My point specifically is that the argument to lump the Jewish people in and the holocaust in as a class struggle is icky.

They discussed another symptom of antisemitism that existed long before what they’re describing took place.
