Many people need a dark force to explain reality and to focus their emotions. Anti-Americanism is akin to anti-semitism in this regard.
While the current camaraderie between Bolivia, Cuba, Dominica, Honduras, Nicaragua and Venezuela is based on “anti-capitalism”.
There is always a group something around which the discomfort or hostility of another group can coalesce. The inculcated hatred (of this that or the other group)is a tool. Everybody needs to be anti-something, for their movement (whatever that movement might be) to have a focus and to have teeth.
(false and contrived as those teeth might be)
Jewish people have served this function more often and more intensely than other groups. New generations don’t come along that automatically and instinctively hate “Jews”, they have to be carefully taught. These days, the learning curve in Hamas dominated Palestine can start as young as 2 or 3 years old.
There is also a jealously factor in this particular kind of continuing, fomented hatred, the success of the Jews in pre-war Germany (and, subsequently, the confiscation of their wealth & property) and the success of tiny, modern Israel existing in an Arab sea still mired in pre-modernity.
