The Anti-Semitism of the early 20th Century is very similar to the Islamophobia of the early 21st Century.

They talk about a shadowy group of people who all stick together and want to take over the world by any means and whose holy book tells them to lie to anyone outside their group.

Even the cartoons are similar and show stereotyped semitic features.
