From the New York Times:
These aren’t even tropes, they are myths. Myths, I tell you!
“Judas Returning the Thirty Pieces of Silver” (1629), by Rembrandt, is the centerpiece of an exhibition called “Jews, Money, Myth” at the Jewish Museum in London.
After all, what better proves that stereotypes about Jews and money are myths than a Jewish Museum lavishly mounting an exhibition on the topic, complete with a Rembrandt lent by a private collector? And who is more notoriously un-clear-eyed than Rembrandt?
By Farah Nayeri
March 20, 2019LONDON — … an exhibition running through July 7 at the Jewish Museum in London called “Jews, Money, Myth.” The show explores the ways in which Jews have been associated with money over the past 2,000 years. …
The Jewish Museum’s aim is to “debunk a lot of the myths that still circulate today,” said Joanne Rosenthal, the exhibition’s curator, “such as Jews exerting a kind of sinister influence on world events, Jews financing disastrous wars around the world for profit, Jews being naturally drawn to money making.”
These centuries-old “tropes and stereotypes” still circulate on social media and beyond, Ms. Rosenthal added, and the exhibition invites visitors to look in a “calm and levelheaded way at the historical realities.” …
“I’ve never done anything in my life where people have been so scared,” she said in an interview at the museum. “Even the title scares people.” …
The myth of Jews and money can be traced back to the biblical figure of Judas, who betrayed Christ in exchange for some silver coins. In the show’s star attraction, Rembrandt’s “Judas Returning the Thirty Pieces of Silver,” on loan from a private collection, Judas is pictured on his knees, begging a group of priests for forgiveness. …
The video also features campaigners in favor of Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union, who were filmed outside the Houses of Parliament in London recently. One of the protesters holds a placard that equates the Jewish financier George Soros and the Rothschilds with the European Union, saying they run Britain’s “fake news” television channels. …
David Feldman, a professor of history at Birkbeck, University of London who is director of the Pears Institute for the Study of Anti-Semitism (which was consulted for the exhibition), said the left sometimes did not initially identify certain patterns of behavior as racist or anti-Semitic.
Jews are “predominantly a middle-class population in Britain, so they don’t fit the idea of what a victim of racism ought to look like,” Professor Feldman said. “There is an expectation that the victims of racism are people of color, that they’re poor, and that in the case of Europe, either they or their forebears were colonial subjects.”
Wha-huh?
Myths can be true as well as false. Teutowald, Tours, Joan of Arc, Lepanto, Gallipoli, Pearl Harbor… all mythic.
This misuse of the word is a red flag for lazy reporting, aka “Journalism”.
(emphasis added)
The truth is that the Labour Party is the only mainstream British political party in which anti-semitism is treated as acceptable behaviour; and if party members previously exercised caution and self-restraint, they ceased to do so when Jeremy Corbyn became leader.
What on earth is the point of being director of an Institute for the Study of Anti-Semitism if you cannot speak the truth about such matters?

Why can't Jews just say, Yes, we are successful and have money and use it to promote causes we believe in?Replies: @Svigor, @James N. Kennett
Is “anti-Semitism” kinda like “islamophobia”?
I'm going to adapt it slightly as,
"Is antisemitism some kind of Islamophobia?"
"Anti-Semitism" as some sort of crime or defect is ridiculous. It's clever Jewish marketing.
There is--flat out--*no*, zero, nada, zilch why anyone should be expected to not have negative opinions about any particular person, nor any particular group of people.
Just taking Anglos, there are\were common negative stereotypes about both--to name a couple of my other ancestry groups--the Irish and the Germans. And, of course, there's "the wogs start at Calais." Having an opinion--even a negative one--about another group is hardly some sort of sin, it's pretty much normal life.
~~
If you think about people personally there's people you actually gel with. But beyond that--gentiles at least--tend to like "nice guys". People who are basically open, forthright, friendly and fair-dealing, even if they aren't your friend, are reasonable to deal with.
Even beyond the--completely logically--reaction to people who keep themselves tribally, religiously endogamously separate from your own, for reasons of evolutionary history fewer Jews tend to have this "nice guy" profile, and more of them tend to have the ... uh ... let's say "not-as-nice-a-guy" profile. People notice this statistically.
Trying to socially criminalize people for noticing stereotypes and having a completely normal reaction to people around them--be they blacks, Jews, Irish, Germans, French, Anglos, Italians, Russians, Chinese, Indians, Mexicans, Muslims, whomever--is b.s.
Trying to get your specific group an extra special you-can't-notice-our-traits-or-not-love-us thought-crime category is just another sleazy scam.Replies: @Desiderius, @jack daniels
Oddly, I stumbled across this on a website a bit earlier, a 2-volume book entitled The Myth of the Medieval Jewish Moneylender, by Jewish academic Julie Mell.

Skipping through the video, she seems to have set up a straw man that there is a belief that moneylending was done by most Jews and accounted for most of the economy. She used fragmentary data and massages it, sort of like those Excel spreadsheets in presentations decks shown to venture capital companies by entrepreneurs that show exponential growth to a billion dollars, to prove that only 28 percent of Jews were moneylenders, and only 10 percent or so had a lot of outstanding loans out … so there, proven wrong, fake news!!!

The allegations of anti-semitism against Jeremy Corbyn is much ado about nothing. Anti-semitism may exist in Labour, especially on the local level, but Corbyn is being unfairly criticized.
I will tell you what is anti-semitic though, SKY News, Murdoch’s outfit. There should be an investigation of the editor of this clip.
"Hodge" derives from "Roger".
So why don’t people ever get these allegedly arbitrary stereotypes mixed up? I’ve never come across the claim that Mexicans love to read, for example. The Food City supermarket chain in Phoenix, which serves the city’s Hispanic areas, doesn’t carry magazines, not even in Spanish.

OT, but something I noticed in the wake of the Omar-Israel controversy; I read the New Yorker pretty regularly, and I saw no mention of it anywhere in that magazine. Google confirmed that it was only mentioned once, in passing. This is a magazine constantly up its own ass about even the slightest whiff of white privilege, let alone white supremacy, and yet this concerted attempt by a bunch of old white people to silence a young woman of color didn’t merit a single article, not one editorial.
Weirder still, I went to look at woke Twitter, and the usual morons who write for the New Yorker (Doreen St. Felix, Jia Tolentino, Osita Nwanevu), the ones who will stay up for 3 days straight rage tweeting because some black woman got snubbed for Best Supporting Actor…all silent.
I’m not much for conspiracies, and I doubt David Remnick is so ballsy (or stupid) as to email a directive to his subordinates that they’re not to talk about this…but it is strange, to say the least. I think it is more of a selection thing: a minority who’s made his way through an elite university to a position at the New Yorker, while he may not be brilliant, is well socialized enough to understand what he is and, more importantly, is not allowed to say. He knows which side his bread is buttered on, in other words.
But that article Steve posted about the Jewish congressman *demanding* an apology from Omar…white privilege, male entitlement, #Mansplaining, all in one nifty anecdote! Surely that cries out for a response…right?

It was not a myth per se. During the Middle Ages, it was considered a sin for moneylenders to engage in Usury (the practice of attaching interest to loans). For the most part, Christian moneylenders avoided engaging in Usury.
Only the Jews engaged in usury, (charging higher and higher interest rates on loans), which in fact was one of the main reasons for their expulsion from Western European nations during the Middle Ages. Their banking monopoly, based largely on usury, the charging of excessive high interest rates, caused their expulsion from Europe.
Guess she just skips over that unpleasant fact of history as to exactly why the Jews were expelled from most of Western Europe during the Middle Ages.
From an extremely interesting book which attributes Jewish success in moneylending to the fact that since the 3rd century rabbinical Judaism required all Jews to be literate ( following which Jewish population declined significantly, as achieving literacy was a costly undertaking for what was then a predominantly rural population). It was only with the rise of Islam and its "integrated market" that Jews became an almost-exclusively urban population.After all, do people with lots of human capital (Harvard grads) tend to go into agriculture or finance?

Republican voters hedged against getting too emotionally invested in any one (establishment) candidate in 2016 because the field was so wide, but there was a huge rift on the Democratic side where there were essentially only two candidates from the beginning. People sucked it up and pretended they had always loved Hillary once she got the nomination — my coworker who had once called her “eeeeeeeevil” later sported one of her this-way-to-the-hospital stickers and a sad fake smile — but a lot of them let their guard down right after the election and unleashed their pent-up resentments. The pattern seems to be “I’ll call you Hitler until I need you to beat a bigger Hitler.”

Two of the last three US presidents – Donald Trump and Bill Clinton – have seen their daughters marry into Jewish families. Jewish families with serious criminal records, no less.

On one hand you are correct that stereotypes are often well-based. On the other hand, there are a lot of people who take stereotypes as universal generalizations, i.e. they think ALL members of group X have trait Y. This might be true or nearly true in some particular case, but it’s usually not true. So we want to protect the ‘innocent’ and give that priority over convicting the ‘guilty.’ Instead of denying that stereotypes have even a statistical correctness, we could make it a point to avoid judging the individual on the basis of statistical generalizations, to the extent that is possible. It is not always possible: I have noticed educated blacks being very annoyed or hurt at the thought that they are seen as potential shoplifters, but if the stereotype is predictively useful to the shopkeeper it is likely to be acted on. Another tactic is to distinguish between group members speaking as individuals and speaking as representatives of their minority, e.g. the ADL or AJC. If the ADL attacks the Christian Coalition for being a hate group, the CC has the right to reference the Jewish priorities of the ADL, though the moribund CC would never do so. Similarly, an individual who speaks QUA member of a particular ethnic group or sexual minority and criticizes other groups cannot complain if a member of the group criticized returns fire.
Presumably thirty pieces of silver was a decent sum of money olden times, and the pound sterling was named in honor of that metal, though at today’s prices a handful of silver would hardly motivate a whistle blower like Judas to give up a job with generous travel expenses, supper allowances,and a seemingly inexhaustible source of fish sandwiches.

However, I must say that I was under the impression that in Europe Jews did have a long history of acting as bankers and financiers, so pleased to here that this is a myth, or even a lie. Give a dog a bad name, and all that.
You just can’t listen to Jewish apologia. Jews are so fiercely collectivist (ethnocentric, racist, whichever term you like), and of late so wildly successful at PR (indoctrination, brainwashing, again, whichever term you like) that their rhetoric is just too far from reality. In other words, they’re currently able to get away with telling you absolute whoppers, and no one’s going to call them out on it.
Like the Spanish Inquisition thing (just a random example, since something reminded me of it yesterday). “Jews were persecuted.” Well, actually, no, they weren’t. They were offered a deal; those who converted to Christianity were welcome to stay in Spain, and those who didn’t were ordered to leave. Some converted and stayed, and some refused, and left. The “Jews” who were persecuted, many years later, were heretic Christians; they converted, placing themselves under Christian law. They’d been living as heretics, illegally, for many years before the crown decided enough was enough. Jews weren’t persecuted, because they’d all left the country, years before.
We can retcon the modern idea that theocracies are bad, but they were common at the time, and the Jews who converted, and their descendants who lived under Christian law at the time, certainly knew what they were agreeing to. They were criminals who got caught.
Sometimes a racist political party contests British elections – the last one was the British National Party; before that there was the National Front. They have never won an election that conferred real power. They have never won a single seat in the House of Commons. People won’t vote for them.
If they were given the chance, people would vote to end mass immigration. But they are not going to vote to persecute their neighbours and work colleagues on grounds of their race.
Leaders of the mainstream political parties understand this, and they punish racism among their members – usually with suspension, followed by expulsion if the case is proved. They are not merely following their own beliefs – they are making an electoral calculation. Every mainstream party does this, including the Conservatives and UKIP (when Nigel Farage was leader; the party has gone sick since then).
This is why Jeremy Corbyn’s indifference to anti-semitism is news. If Labour Party members had been sending death threats with racist language to the party’s own black MPs, they would have been quickly expelled. When they did the same things to a Jewish MP, Corbyn did nothing – for over a year.
You are right that it is a free country, and anyone can start a political party that tolerates anti-semitism. They just won’t get very many votes.

Clearly it would be much better if everything was above board. Although there is not much hope of that, if those “causes” include mass immigration from the Third World, and wars against Israel’s enemies.
In all developed countries, but especially in the USA, political campaigning is expensive and somebody has to pay for it. Cynical people say that America has the best government that money can buy, and the problem is that they are not entirely wrong.
Most of US government policy can be predicted by looking at who the donors are: wealthy individuals including many Jewish Americans, Big Oil, defense contractors, and Wall Street. The interests of three out of four of these groups converge on promoting endless war in the Middle East.
The best tactic for wealthy interests is to finance both political parties, so that victory is guaranteed. At the cost of a billion dollars over an electoral cycle, the returns from favorable government decisions could easily amount to a trillion.
“The myth of Jews and money can be traced back to the biblical figure of Judas, who betrayed Christ in exchange for some silver coins. In the show’s star attraction, Rembrandt’s “Judas Returning the Thirty Pieces of Silver,” on loan from a private collection, Judas is pictured on his knees, begging a group of priests for forgiveness. …”
The false implication here is that Judas is begging forgiveness of “priests” in the Christian sense for his betrayal of Christ or, worse, that he is begging forgiveness of the Jewish priests for what they paid him to do, as though they were somehow themselves regretting their own action. In fact he is showing up the Jewish “chief priests and elders” for the proud and exultant murderers they were (Matthew xxvii. 1-10):
1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.
8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;
10 And gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.

Correct. They are not victims. They are winners. Now, they may be the object of some racism or whatever, as pretty much every human being is on this earth. But they are not victims, they should not see themselves as victims and that is a very good thing. The fact that all kinds of “minorities” (majorities) see themselves as “victims”, is a very bad thing. Life is not perfect, that does not make you a victim.
Irrelevant. My point is to do with Rembrandt’s painting, which shows a man full of disgust with himself, and asking no pardon of those who are the first among the guilty, but rather of God. Rembrandt mirrors the Biblical account too in showing them rejecting both him and his repentance with indifference and scorn.
