Don't you think all the forms of racism/facism demean their targets in the same sort of way ... dirty, sexually voracious (or the opposite extreme) greedy, lazy, cruel, abusive to children/to women etc... There are some nasty immoral people in every community but the racism/antisemitism involves labelling the entire category of people in these ways and then claiming it as some sort of essentialist /genetic-based features. What do you think?

Also (it just occurred to me) the people being demeaned are often compared to animals and insects like cockroaches, thus they are dehumanised. As you will know, both the Nazis (right-wing people talking about migrants, and the Isareli leadership have been/are doing this.
