They aren't really upset about the war itself since whites have always fought each other but generally kept the killing to the military targets. If Hitler had been killing blacks in Africa it wouldn't have been a big thing at all. Hell, the US routinely burned people alive without a second thought. But those victims were Japanese so it was OK.
Leopold of Belgium did kill well over 6 million black Africans so why isn't he the model for all evil? Even Churchill committed chemical war crimes against the Kurds and allowed 4 million people in Bengal to starve to death. But let's keep pretending Jewnicorns have been the only victims.
No one is saying that Jews have been the only victims. What is being said is that your stereotype is shopworn from overuse, and it's also been pointed out some others who've used the same tropes.
I'm no apologist for Israel; they have certainly committed war crimes against Palestinian civilians, and I myself think that America should stop the $3 billion or so per annum that we grant, not loan, them, at least until they start playing our tune and work towards a meaningful rapprochement with the Palestinians as we wish. But at the same time, shit like "Jews controlled the banks which caused our 08 collapse"is almost certainly selective vision, given that that collapes was fueled more by Americans taking out loans they were unable to support.
