Reflecting on the Jewish Question, I was really wondering what's in it for the Mediterranean peoples to be opposed to Jews. Upon some reflection on the history of Spain, I came to realize that, with the exception of the Inquisition, relations between Iberians and Jews have been relatively good for thousands of years. It was actually the Visigoths -- a Germanic tribe that entered Spain in the 5th-century -- that forced Jews to convert to Christianity and treated them as inferiors. Far from being a race of treacherous and unproductive individuals, the Jews produced a large body of poetry during the Middle Ages and translated Classical works since they were the only ones to speak and write in both Arabic and Latin. Some argue that the first modern novel -- La Celestina -- was written by the possible converted Jew Fernando de Rojas. Many Jews married within the nobility of Spain so that within a century or two after the Inquisition hardly a noble family in Spain was without a trace of Jewish blood. In short, the Jews have been an integral part of Spain, resented to some extent based on their wealth or for doing jobs that others thought ignoble, such as those related to finance.
As far as Italy is concerned, Mussolini adopted anti-Jewish laws based on pressures from Nazi Germany (1938). It is said that many Italian Fascists were Jews and that their support was very beneficial to their rise. Unlike in Germany, it doesn't appear that there was a perceived life or death struggle between the Jews and the indigenous elements of the population before the anti-Jewish laws were enacted. In ancient Rome there were tensions with Jews leading to the slaughter of hundreds of thousands in modern-day Palestine, but this was thousands of years ago and long before Italians even had an identity.
With the Slavs there have always been great tensions between Jews and the indigenous elements, largely because Jews were used by the ruling classes as middlemen to impose their will on the peasants. Historically Jews have been much better off than the peasants. Because Jews were so much better than the indigenous elements at conducting business, anti-Jewish laws were put into place in Russia by the czars to keep the Jews down economically. This -- limited freedoms -- was one of the reasons for Jewish support of communism, since communism worked to undermine the power of the state and the status quo which led to social inequalities extending beyond economics.
Communism led to millions of deaths in the USSR, and Jews were disproportionately represented among the highest ranks of the party, but only a small percentage of Jews within the USSR was actually communist. As the USSR progressed -- particularly with Stalin -- Jews were purged from the highest ranks and the USSR became a very anti-Jewish empire, even supporting Arab states in their war with Israel.
While Jews are undoubtedly disproportionately represented within the professions and tend to have a major say in the affairs of the state because of their wealth and cohesion, the so-called Jewish Question seems largely an issue for the Germanic peoples, who have never been able to deal with the Jews in a humane and civil manner. That certain Germanic nationalists believe Jews "control" their countries and brainwash their women into dating "non-Whites" undermines their claims to superiority. They admit to feelings of being one-upped by the Jews intellectually and socially. Such individuals will at times feel so powerless that all they can do is fantasize about the mass extermination of Jewry, thinking this type of ethnic cleansing will purge the uncleanliness and filth surrounding them, when the uncleanliness and filth is within their souls.
On a related note, many of them criticize Jews for engaging in psychoanalyzing, but they are far worse. To them, "White" women who date out of the group are fat or low-class or had troubled relations with their fathers or hate their race. It never occurs to them that some "White" women prefer or happen to like "non-Whites." Individuals who debate them have an "inferiority complex" or are insecure: this would appear to be a projection of their own shortcomings, as some of them are obviously low-class (especially those who claim that Classical civilization was ignited by mulattoes) and exhibit anxieties related to the perceived lack of masculinity of their group [e.g., "They are taking our women away." "Such and such group is more virile than Nordics."] Thus, it's a bit hypocritical for such individuals to accuse the Jews of engaging in psychoanalysis to explain phenomena that make them feel politically and/or socially uncomfortable.
Given the behavior of some of the anti-Semites, one can only breathe a sigh of relief and express "good riddance" if the fears of such individuals who believe their "ingroup" is in its last hours of existence due to miscegenation have some basis in reality.
In the meantime, the Mediterraneans, the Slavs (in many cases more Nordic than the Atlantos and the Bjorks-in-denial of the West), the Jews and possibly the Celts will continue to thrive and prosper, making their way through the modern tumult of political correctness and mass immigration.
