'Jews are doing this evil AS Jews, so as Jews they can take the blame.' - He's falling into their trap, pity. I'd say that white European settler colonialists are doing this evil as white European settler colonialists, using Judaism as a pretext to provide the rationalisations for their behaviour. Similarly the genocides in the Americas, Africa, Australasia & Asia were perpetrated by people who described themselves as Christians, and often sought to justify their atrocities via their own religious texts, bastardised or otherwise. Does that mean that these were Christian genocides, and that we should hold all Christians accountable for the crimes committed in the name of the religion? Well, it's tempting but really I think the real religions behind these acts were imperialism, colonialism, capitalist greed & exploitation driven by the expansionist nature of civilised, particularly city- or state-based societies. Formalised religion merely provides the window-dressing, and most often does so against the core precepts articulated by the founders of those religions. Although there's plenty of explicitly genocidal sh!t in the old testament too, so draw your own conclusions from that...

The point about a/s as a special form of racism held apart from the others was well made though:

'And what is antisemitism, even? It's a racist category of racism. Jews couldn't even share racism with other people, they have to have a special racism of their own, and kick everyone else out of the conversation.'

(With the same caveat about this being a zionist tactic, not a Jewish one per se.) Reminds me of the American synagogue Tony G mentions which tried to adopt a universalist position on the slogan 'never again', implying that it should mean no more genocides against anyone. Of course the zionists lost their sh!t about it and they immediately backed down & apologised, Corbyn-style. Colonialism never ends with physical conquest and domination: it has to conquer the perception, down to thoughts and feelings, in victims & bystanders. Therefore de-colonisation as a process has to happen in the mind too. Jews, albeit a minority, have always been a part of rejecting the zionist colonisation of discourse & perception in that way, and are often well positioned to make the strongest counter-arguments (though the direct victims will always understand this best).
