This anti-semitism thing I have never noticed while I read. Althrough I have not read Oliver Twist. But in the other books are lots of seriously bad and evil protagonists and none of them is Jewish.

Perhaps I start Twist the next weeks. Than I can judge.

I soon as I realise its fiction, I lose interest.
