but we Jews aren't liked by either side of the spectrum.

The right is just more overt about it. They will come out and say "The Jews won't replace us."

The left will couch it in more political terms: "Before Israel we didn't have an enemy in the Middle East. Now, we don't have a friend." That simply means, at least to me, if it weren't for those damn Jews, everything in the Middle East would be fine.

As Tom Lehrer said in the song "National Brotherhood Week,"

Well the Catholics and the Protestants
And the Protestants hate the Catholics
And the Hindus hate the Muslims
And everybody hates the Jews
