Could you cite some examples of European Jews "clamouring for attention" 24/7? Western European Jews were so integrated into society that with the sometimes occasional example of their names - you wouldn't have known who they were. They certainly didn't advertise the fact they were Jews - their mantra was to fit in at all cost. And that isn't what is happening now. It's to stand out at all cost and claim prejudice at any slight - real or imagined.
