English abounds with words that denote hatred towards various groups. How about Islamophobia, which dates back more than 100 years? Or homophobia? Transphobia? And there's Anglophobia (hatred of England and the English) and Francophobia (hatred of France and the French), as well as numerous others about nationalities. Anti-Americanism goes back to 1828. There are also dozens of words covering fear or hatred of non-national groups of people, such a coulrophobia (clowns), gerontophobia (elderly people) and androphobia (men). You can find of a list of ethnic and national "phobias" at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_phobias. Antisemitism may be the world's oldest hatred, but it is definitely not unique. You are mistaken. As much as any people on earth, Israelis and all other Jews want wars to end. Constant war for 78 years has been enough.
