"Anyone who follows truth-seeker forums, and those four hour documentaries on YouTube that you have to be permanently unemployable to sit through knows how everyone involved in the conspiracy scene is a huge Anti-Semite that the tricksy Jews are the ones running the show."

"Things have been said to you about the Jews that are infinitely exaggerated and often contrary to history. How can the persecutions they have suffered at the hands of different people be held against them? These on the contrary are national crimes that we ought to expiate, by granting them imprescriptible human rights of which no human power could despoil them. Faults are still imputed to them, prejudices, exaggerated by the sectarian spirit and by interests. But to what can we really impute them but our own injustices? After having excluded them from all honors, even the right to public esteem, we have left them with nothing but the objects of lucrative speculation. Let us deliver them to happiness, to the homeland, to virtue, by granting them the dignity of men and citizens; let us hope that it can never be policy, whatever people say, to condemn to degradation and oppression a multitude of men who live among us. How could the social interest be based on violation of the eternal principles of justice and reason that are the foundations of every human society?"
Maximilien Robespierre, December 1789.

Peter: Okay, Mort, now, if you want to get more customers in your pharmacy, you're gonna have to do a promotion, like... like "buy one, get one free."
Mort: What?
Peter: Buy one, get one free.
Mort: Huh?
Peter: Buy one...
Mort: Yeah, I get that.
Peter: Get one free.
Mort: Is that, like, a Spanish word?
Peter: No, it's English. The whole thing's English.
Mort: Oh, 'cause it seems like you're saying the first part in English and then some kind of made-up pha-lumpf-phalumpf or something in the second part. I don't understand you.
Peter: All right, let me try explaining it another way. Let's say we're at someone else's store, and there's a sign, and it says: "Buy one, get one free."
Mort: Get one free? Wow! What store are you talking about?

Garth: Well, 'ow d'you know about money?
Dorien: I didn't think I'd ever have to say this - I'm Jewish.

"That is the dumbest stereotype. I mean, who doesn't love money?"
Dan Avidan, Game Grumps

"What should we make the global price of gold today? Y'know, 'cause we control that."

“A favorite complaint against us was that we were greedy for gold. Why could not the Gentiles see the whole truth where they saw half? Greedy for profits we were, eager for bargains, for savings, intent on squeezing the utmost out of every business transaction. But why? Did not the Gentiles know the reason? Did they not know what price we had to pay for the air we breathed? If a Jew and a Gentile kept store side by side, the Gentile could content himself with smaller profits. He did not have to buy permission to travel in the interests of his business. He did not have to pay three hundred rubles fine if his son evaded military service. He was saved the expense of hushing inciters of pogroms. Police favor was retailed at a lower price to him than to the Jew. His nature did not compel him to support schools and charities. It cost nothing to be a Christian; on the contrary, it brought rewards and immunities. To be a Jew was a costly luxury, the price of which was either money or blood. Is it any wonder that we hoarded our pennies? What his shield is to the soldier in battle, that was the ruble to the Jew in the Pale.”
The Promised Land by Mary Antin

"Hey, I'm an unexpected reminder of the casual ubiquity of anti-Semitism in historical literature. Guess my single personality trait."
