Your metaphor is so inaccurate on so many points as to be useless.
A) Jews aren't the primary targets of brutal military assaults and occupation by the world's most powerful armies. Muslims are. Except by a vocal antisemetic minority Jews are not discussed in the west as if they are The Big Scary Problem Of the 21st Century. Muslims are.
B) 'Eat a bacon cheesburger day' is not equivalent to what we're talking about here. Throwing pig's blood on people's doors or going into a hasid neighborhood and making holocaust jokes over a loudspeaker is more like it.
C) If you went to my next-door Hasid neighborhood of williamsburg and did one of the above things, I guarantee you AT LEAST one of those dudes would threaten to kill you. And you'd at least get your nose broken. Those dudes don't play. But if that happened it would be taken as an isolated incident, instead of representative of their entire religion. Which brings us back to (A)
