In the nineteenth century, Jewish anger in Central and Eastern Europe resulted mostly from the breakdown of the traditional Jewish community, the disappearance of the traditional Jewish economic sector, and a sense of thwarted entitlement.
Many Jews became highly disaffected and took part in violent revolutionary activities, terrorism and assassination or simply engaged in exploitive and ethically questionable business practices toward their non-Jewish (and sometimes their Jewish) neighbors.
The Holocaust might explain some aspects of Jewish confrontational behavior, but Jewish Holocaust fixation for the most part starts in the aftermath of the 1967 Israeli War of Aggression and has steadily increased ever since. Holocaust obsession is probably a consequence of increasing Jewish confrontationalism, and, in any case, a large proportion of Russian Ashkenazim were up to their eyeballs in mass murder, ethnic cleansing, and genocide on behalf of the Bolshevik Revolution or the Soviet Union long before the mass killing of Jews started in 1941 during World War 2.
Nowadays, the older generation of Jews seems to live in dread that younger Jews will realize how evil Zionism and the State of Israel really are while younger Jews often educated in Hebrew school on stories of positive Jewish achievements and the greatness of Israel suffer severe cognitive dissonance whenever confronted with the reality of increasing legitimate hostility towards Jews because of the crimes of Zionism and of the State of Israel.
To the left and above is a great cartoon on Jewish rage from Jewcy.com (Eli Valley's The Incredible Hulk). It depicts by analogy the heavy-handed and legally questionable means that American Jews use in their never-ending quest to control discourse about the State of Israel and to prevent any public questioning of the US-Israel alliance.
