Sure, people tend to over-react when you criticize Jews. They also do the same when you criticize any other race except white people. JP's "messages" in these videos are to followers of particular religions, not racial groups, so the assumptions by @buttcanbandit aren't even logical.
As for your question of why people oppose the "Jewish Conspiracy" narrative...
I can't speak for others, but I see most anti-Jewish racism as stemming from the same sort of identity politics that the Left so masterfully wields. In-fact, the far-right and far-left have more in common than either side wants to admit. The disdain I have for people who support this anti-Jewish narrative is the same disdain I have for the Left.
Identity politics takes the side of collectivism in the collectivism vs. individualism debate. Identity politics is the process of picking and choosing characteristics of individuals, grouping them together based on those characteristics, and building a positive or negative narrative around them for political reasons. The root of this mindset is viewing people as members of a collective rather than as individuals.
It's perfectly find to recognize differences such as patterns of behavior between groups of people but treating people as members of a collective is immoral and creates problems not just for the individuals in question but for society as a whole. The irrationality of many of these identity politics arguments aside, this mistreatment of people that causes significant damage to society is why I disdain identity politics on both sides.

I'd argue that it's a direct result of the left's identity politics.
"The banks are screwing us."
"That's anti-Semitic!"
"George Soros is an evil man."
"That's anti-Semitic!"
"All these rootless globalist cosmopolitans are really fucking everything up."
"That's anti-Semitic!"
"Guess I might as well be anti-Semitic then, because apparently the Jews are behind everything."
I just wish, just once, that a prominent Jewish person would come out and say, "yeah, there's some pretty fucking corrupt Jews. The ones involved in screwing Ye over should knock it off." Instead it's a lockstep "anti-Semitism bad!" chorus. I had to skip through most of Rubin's show because I'm sick of it.
Think of how sacred the Holocaust is to non Jews, then realize what it means to Jews. They've been fully indoctrinated since birth that anything that could even been seen as a stepping stone to a stepping stone is, in fact, a concrete path to the next Holocaust, which is why they will lash out at anything that could have the faint possibility of being antisemitic.
Yes, some of it is definitely reactionary. It's sad to see so many people on the right foolishly adopting their own version of identity politics as a response to the left's identity politics.
My whole thing with the "Jewish Conspiracy" is that its proponents act as if Jews are part of some Illuminati-like organization, acting in concert to enslave the goyim. It's undeniable they're disproportionately present in positions of power but it doesn't follow, to me, that they're acting to some end for the Jewish race according to some centuries long plan or what have you.
Same here. I just can't see past the logical leap required to jump from observing a pattern and believing in some kind of global conspiracy.
Why do you think disproportionately present in positions of power? I mean how did they accomplish that.
Horseshoe Theory Israel
He said religions.
He doesn't care about religion. He cares about the Jewish people and their supposed global conspiracy. He's implying that the "Jewish conspiracy" has JP too afraid to criticize Judaism. He's trolling.
