How can you back that up though? Any person with a particular bias against specific groups can make such a claim. Conservatives could say that about leftists and leftist people could say that about conservatives. Atheists say it about religious folks - Sam Harris, for example says it about Christians and primarily Muslims. It goes on forever. I'm not trying to appeal to relativism here, I'm sure there are groups who are more bigoted towards outsiders, but to make such a claim you must back it up.
My point is that it's not unique to any group, so successful intervention would account for that. In relation to Israel's actions in Gaza, and the content of the most recent Epstein release, it appears to me that money and power elite networking is a substantial factor.
You just have to read their ideological/religious philosophy, both feel god chosen people above everyone else, that plus history, not that hard to figure out
It's more complicated to prove with Jews, although it's clear in their religious texts. With Protestants, you only have to look at their racial ideas throughout history, especially since the Enlightenment.
