Key Notes
He identifies the destruction of the Dome of the Rock, the return of Jews to Israel through rising antisemitism, and an age of tribulation as key convergence points across the traditions.
Jiang controversially states that there is no concrete evidence for the Holocaust while interpreting Hitler's Jewish-race prophecy as metaphor for national elites undermining Germany.
The lecture explains European antisemitism as a structure in which nobles depend on Jews as middlemen, peasants encounter them as agents of exploitation, and elites redirect conflict onto Jews.
Jiang says this long-term European enmity against Jews, created by nobility and repeated through expulsion and massacre, is needed to understand why the Holocaust happened.
The feudal scapegoat mechanism lets nobles preserve property and labor by allowing periodic violence against Jews, after which peasants return to work.
