Jewish banking and etc are tied to many (false) conspiracy theories. Me mentioning science has been part of the elites and immediately tying someone who happened to have a family that had bankers that were jewish ties into that in a distasteful/false/etc way.
I’m sure it’s not intentional, but I don’t like giving these idiots more fuel for their fire

Jewish banking is a legacy of antisemitic Christian doctrine in Medieval Europe that restricted the Hebrew people only to professions proscribed (as usury) to Christians such as financial services. Their prevalence in those professions is a historic consequence of discrimination of no fault to the Hebrew people, and acknowledging that reality isn’t necessarily distasteful or false.

You’re that idiot. Using every little fact as an attack on your worldview isn’t healthy. Israel is using that same defense, while creating very powerful connections to censor and shape world politics.

Highlighting Jewish banking is anti-semitic. You are correct to challenge this.
But it’s mainly one particular family tied to the conspiracy theories (many attribute to a pamphlet printed by Georges Dairnvaell). Ethnicity should not be a shield against scrutiny and criticism.

The idea that mentioning someone’s Judaism is antisemitic, feeds antisemitism.
