Again, there are many reasons that anti-semitism exists in this world, but I don't think that an ambassador trashing an art display is one of them.

You said "Maybe Jews acting like this is why anti-semitism continues to be such a problem." So what similar actions have Jews taken in the past that have promoted anti-semitism? Certainly there must have been a number of them, if "acts like this" are what helps to keep anti-semitism alive.

This was the act of one pissed-off guy. Don't you think it's a little prejudiced to characterize a whole group of millions of people based on the act of one person?
Everytime a Jew commits a crime, acts morally reprehensibly or is just an asshat, and blames "5000 years of oppression", it adds fuel to anti-semitism.
Same for the Black man blaming 400 years of slavery.
Or even the Latin blaming his "hot blooded heritage".
