A common argument for anti-semitism: "All these _different_ ethnic
groups all over the earth hate the Jews. With all that diversity they
can't all be wrong."
That can be retired right now. What's really going on is the macro
version of Jonathan Swift and Einstein's quotes on the micro:
The resistance of dunces to genius / great spirits.

Well, and also, most people hate everyone other than themselves.
Antisemitism is largely just undifferentiated hatred. Jews are not
the only target. Just one of the targets.

Anti-semitism is the socialism of the stoopid.
-Karl Marx
Kind of redundant, but there you have it.

Sometimes a claim is accepted as being true simply because most people
are favorably inclined towards the claim. That most people have
favorable emotions associated with the claim is substituted in place
of actual evidence for the claim. A person falls prey to this fallacy
if he accepts a claim as being true simply because most other people
approve of the claim...
