Jews have been strangers wherever they've gone, which is why they've been hated down the centuries. Rootlessness doesn't resonate with rooted peoples, and if that produced in them a "fear of the unknown" then I can understand it. Especially if the "unknown" had the intention of exploiting the rooted peoples and then moving on to the next target. It would be like a race of aliens visting Earth to suck up all our resources and then moving on.
So in a way, I do fear those "strange Jews". But those who aren't so strange...not so much.
