But society conditions everyone to want to participate, so when one fails to do so it makes one feel better to say, at least I'm not one of "them," or the next guy. That "pride of non-participation" that comes up to mask one's general failure to do so bizarrely then becomes a reason for people to resent jews, who, if they do try to participate, are rejected over and over... So people see this rejection and say 'i'm not one of them; accept me.' similarly the nazis put all the blame for the failures and misery of the germans on others so they could appear pure. Generally christian approach: jesus will take the responsibility off my shoulders for my sins, i don't have to deal with it anymore because it's jesus' problem now. Yep, just put it on the jews...
