	Mad Philosophers - Philosophy Forum - Why AntiSemitism - 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Considering how often Jews marry non-Jews (outside of Israel, that is), I wouldn't be surprised if many Jews are more attracted to non-Jews than to Jews.
		All in all, unattractiveness of Jews - probably more notable when Jews were often poor, undernourished, and engaging in cousin marriage - is unlikely to be a major reason for the unpopularity of Jews.
		However along with that comes the fact that these Jews no matter what country they are in, become the movers and shakers of that country.
