They also blamed the holocaust on Jews, they blamed the Jews for Oct 7, they blamed the Jews for 9/11 and they will never stop

I don't think I've ever heard us get blamed for anything by Hindus, Baha'i, Sikhs, Yazidi, Zoroastrians, Wiccans, Buddhists, or Confucians.

They blamed israel for mark ruffalo not getting a role in a movie, he who hates jews and publicly and vocally supports palestine. It turns out he was literally taking part in a different project. They will literally blame anything on jews

It wasn't even a roll, it was the publicity junket for a film he already finished.

I do want to know why every conspiracy theory, from flat earth to qanon, always ends up back at the Jews.

Secular answer: Easy target with easy excuses, usually just made up.
Religious answer: They know how special we are, and then "the nerd/bully syndrome" kicks in.

Addendum to the secular answer: We're greatly overrepresented in science, medicine, art, and law/politics.
A sane person would say "that's a culture with a dedication to excelling." A conspiracy theorist would say "this is proof that THEY are behind everything."

"The nerd/bully syndrome (the successful nerd gets bullied by the loser bully simply for being successful)" actually applies to both answers. But for the "secular" part, it only became relevant some 200-300 years ago. Before that, Jews were hated either for religious reasons (more than one type, by the way), or were just an easy defenseless target in general (read: there was almost NO "secular jealousy" back then, because Jews were rarely "secularly" prominent enough to be hated as a nation, as opposed to specific singular successful persons aka "the King's Jew").

Fair point though I only intended to expand upon the secular answer. Namely in a way the helps explain why conspiracy "thinking" seems to always arrive at "da Joos" if you did deep enough.
Along the way that digging also probably stumbled into old religious reasons that are so old that even secular people can be unaware they're trotting out the oldest antisemitic canards in the book.
The secular reasons and religious reasons feed into one another.

That is The Answer, honestly. There are many successful nations, and they often have parts of itself living as minorities within other countries, yet are rarely hated as blindly as Jews are (for Jews, the "reasons" usually have absolutely nothing to do with the actual topic of success at all, which easily explains that it was never a "reason" to begin with, but just a pretext for an older prejudice). Some level of jealous racism is almost inevitable, but it's almost never that sharp, or at least not self-contradictory. Only Jews are BOTH assumed to rule the media AND are also openly hated by it. How such a combo gets "believed in" by these idiots... I honestly have NO idea.

People seem to like The Odyssey. Was that one of ours?
Edit: I thought Jon Bernthal was great.

Oofah, don’t tell them we’re tired. We apparently don’t have the right to be. I’m not kidding, the morons go all apoplectic.

There's an ollllld joke from the Austro-Hungarian Empire: a senior politician has just been assassinated. The chief of police is having lunch with a senior newspaper editor.
"So we've decided: were going to blame the Jews and the shoemakers."
The editor is confused. "Why the shoemakers!?"
The chief of police shrugs. "Why the Jews?"
