Why have the Jews been so hated throughout history?

Because the orgin of Jewish hatered stems from the cruxcifixion of Jesus Christ.  In the Bible, the Book of Matthew, Jesus told us that the world would hate us because we are like him. He wasn't talking about being Jewish but being Christian.  However, the Jewish people in the Bible are the ones who hung Jesus to the cross. Some of the hatered comes from the Jewish belief that Jesus was just a man and not the son of God.  Others come from the secret control of entites in the Amercian and global business world.  It is never right to hate, but it happens.\n\n\nHope this helps.

In my opinion, Jews had it way worse during the Holocaust.

It's not that easy...history is history...the only way that people would stop hating would be if everyone had a sudden case of acute amnesia. I wish everyday that everyone would get along. Sometimes people are nice but other times you don't have the energy to deal with it.

Although anti-Semitism had existed since the establishment of Christianity Jews were only one of Hitler's target groups for elimination. In his quest to purify and strengthen the German race Hitler ordered the killings of Jews, Blacks, Homosexuals, Gypsies, Handicapped persons, the mentally ill hospitals, the elderly, the homeless, Slavs, and even World War One Veterans who had lost limbs or had otherwise become dependent. The reason Jews seemed to have been singled out in the Holocaust is because Hitler used them as a scapegoat for the problems following WW1. Hitler gave the downtrodden German people a face to put the blame of their dire situation. He accused the Jews, because they were different, of bringing down Germany from the inside. You would have to admit that Hitler's greatest achievement was making a whole country believe that less than 1% of their population, the Jews, were to blame for WW1 and it's consequences. With everyone's attention and anger directed at the Jews Hitler was free to eliminate other "unacceptable" people, many his own countrymen, without opposition or even notice. The reason that it's usually a Jewish person who speaks at assemblies is because they made up the largest portion of the Holocaust therefore others didn't survive or have likely passed on.

Anti-Semitism has a long and sad history. There have been several forms of anti-Semitism. Religious anti-semitism is the oldest. In many parts of Europe and the Islamic world, Jews were the largest minority group. They were often the target of religious hatred often directed by rulers and leading to discrimination and occasional expulsion.\n\nRacial discrimination arose from the anthropological views of race from the enlightenment. Jews were considered to be a race and anti-Semitic views of race developed in the late 19th century and early 20th centuries. Nazi Anti-Semitism was based on this.\n\nMore recently, new Anti-Semitism has arisen based on anti-Zionism. This anti-semitism is opposed to Israel and claims to be sympathetic to the Palestinians.

Hilter didn't just hate the Jews and black people, he hated Catholics, German's who helped people flee from his wrath, people with disablities (even if you walked with a limp). If you even had a sixteenth of Jewish blood in you, you were consider Jewish. According to the Holucust Mesume in Washington DC, he wanted to create the ulimate race of Germans (blonde hair and blue eyes). Hilter was an interesting chararter. A bad apple that's for sure. He was brought to power by promising the people of Germany food and bring the country's economy back up. After WWI German suffered greatly from debts and such. So of course they would listen to the devil himself if he made such promises. I hope this answers your question.

Nazis are hated because they promote ideas of racism and anti-Semitism. And of course because of holocaust. Adolf Hitler was the leader of NSDAP.

The Germans hated the Jews and used every political forum to show themselves for the jealous, poor, angry fools they were because Jews are smarter than them, and knew how to make money, when they couldn't. It's a shame Im 1/2 German, yet I can tell the truth, where a lot of Germans wont.

The Bible was written mostly by the Jews, and you can see this sometimes in the way they inflate their own numbers, but for all that, the Jews have often been the losers.  I mean, the whole business in Egypt was perhaps the most prominent enslavement, but it was certainly not the last.  To their mentality, they were opressed under the Romans too, and many times in between.  Yet for all that, they stuck to God and upheld him as a good and just god.  It's amazing how faithful these "losers" are.  Perhaps it means something.

Israel has its modern history in becoming a state in 1948, the same year the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered.  Ever since that time, people have been trying to eradicate the country and the people, much like Hitler's efforts during WW II.  Historically, it is a great shame for the human race that very few people cared a whit about the Jews, barring Poland and Russia on some occasions, until the effects of the holocaust were seen.  Today some even maintain it didn't happen.  Even Christians, so-called, have a bad record at mistreating the Jews.  Maybe we ought to blame that on Augustine, but following things blindly is one's own responsibility.  \nIsrael's early history goes back to the time of Abraham, some 2000 years before the birth of you-know-who. Abraham received the covenant for Israel from God. Israel was named after Jacob, son of Isaac.\nMoses came along around 500 years later and took them out of Egypt, but not from Ramses as the movie says, through 40 years in the desert and up to the Promised Land, although Moses himself was not allowed to go into it.  God left that to Joshua.  \nThe combined kingdom of Israel had three kings.  Its borders were the greatest under Solomon (970-931 BC), son of David (1010-970 BC), the Goliath slayer of fame. Oddly enough, the borders even under Solomon never seem to be as large as what God had promised them.\nAfter Solomon, Israel was split into north and south, the north being called Israel, because it had the majority of the tribes, or Samaria.  Samaria fell in 722 BC because it thought that God wasn't important any more.\nThe southern kingdom, aka, Judah, named by its largest tribe (Benjamin being much smaller) struggled until 586 BC where the Babylonians sacked Jerusalem and tore down the temple.  They thought they could get along without God also. Isaiah talks about that.\nJeremiah talks about what happened when the Babylonians came.  Daniel talks about the time in Babylon and what God will do in the end of times.  It's all very exciting, unless, of course you don't believe in God, in which case Israel really doesn't have any rights to the land at all.  Fortunately, God believes in them and, as you might guess, doesn't break covenants. The temple was rebuilt when they returned from Babylon, but many stayed and, over the centuries, moved elsewhere.\nIsrael was almost most effectively destroyed due to the culture wars after Alexander the Great. The people were encouraged to try new things and give up their old ways and embrace new learning and the Hellenistic way of life.  It reminds one a lot of today.  Judas Maccabeus was a big hero around 161 BC.  The temple was desecrated and Hanukah was born, so to speak.  It's a great story and you should read it in detail to understand God.  After all, without Hanukah, we wouldn't have Christmas, but then you-know-who is out of fashion, I guess.\nYou-know-who predicted the second temple being torn down by the Romans and so it was in 70 AD.  AD means "anno domini" which means "in the year of our Lord."  The Romans in their hatred of the Jews, renamed the land Palestine, which comes from Philistine, which is kind of funny because the Philistines didn't live there ever. That land should always be called Israel because that's what God wanted it to be.\nSome 600 years later the Dome of the Rock was built in Jerusalem.  You can read about the Crusades and the Mamluks elsewhere. The Ottoman Turks controlled the area from the early 1500's until WW I, after which the British got control and didn't know what to do with it.  They gave it back in 1948, mostly because the Jews were a thorn in their side. It was a good move, except to Islam, whose ancestor is also Abraham. The conflict between Ishmael, later to find fame in a Melville novel, and and Isaac as well as Esau and Jacob created the whole thing.  Isn't that amazing?You have to wonder if the Bible has any clues t

it's my understanding that the name "judas" has morphed over the centuries into "jew". since judas wasn't a good person, this word became associated with him and his betrayal of jesus gave early christians a reason to dislike the jewish people.

When the British helped set up the Jewish "homeland" in the area of Palestine in the early 1900s, the influx of European and Russian Jews eventually caused a severe dislocation of the indigenous Arab population.  The Zionists eventually began attacking Arab towns and villages, killing the population or driving the inhabitants away and taking over the towns for Jewish use.  In 1948 alone, Jews destroyed over 400 Arab towns and villages, and this marked the beginning a deep-seated hatered that continues to this day.  The Jews are in denial over this part of their history, but they did it and get the reaction that should be expected.

That is not a question that anyone can answer now. We do not live in that time era, nor do we know what their thoughts were or the people that sold them to the white people. All we can do is speculate which is wrong because we have no clue as to what was said, done, or accomplished by what means at the time. We only know by 3rd and 4th hand word if not more and even second hand word isn't allowed in a court of law.\nWhat bothers me is that there is still so much hatred. I don't even see that among the Jews and the Germans and look at what Hitler and the Nazi's did to the Jews. They actually live together in the same area without all this hatred that continues between the blacks and whites. What was done to the black people was wrong just like what was done to the Jews was wrong, but continuing to hate either blacks or whites accomplishes two things - more hatred and more prejudice.

What people don't know is that the Jews were the first around in the world. People are jerks that don't like other people because of the religion.

Long before Israel existed. Arabs have been committing mass murder against Jews at least since the 20's.

I don't care who they are.  During the Holocaust, not all Germans were bad and hated the Jews.  The Jews had to trust the ones offering them homes.  It's somewhat the same.

Where else were the Jews going to go? It's not like, "oh man, if we go to the Middle East, they're really going to hate us" was their prime concern. *Everybody* hated them from the time they started the Zionist movement in the 19th century no matter where they went! The Brits, French, Germans (obviously) - think of a time when Jews weren't getting picked on or chosen as the leaders of a conspiracy. Yeah, tough question.\n\nAt least this way they have a military, so that attacking Jews now gets you a prompt NATO-supported smack-down.
