I never claimed that was your position but you've said repeatedly that "the overwhelming majority" of non-Jews have antipathy for the Jews. You've as much as said it above.

But this is the comment that interests me most. Why would you say this? What's your evidence for this?

For starters, it's the sort of thing you've said above and elsewhere. We non-Jews are constantly reminded of what "we" feel about the Jews and what "we've" done to "you". You thereby place yourselves apart. You say that the experiences of Jews of the past confer a special and distinct status upon you.
