It is Arabs who have a war running against Jews. Hence the name the "Arab-Israeli Conflict." "Palestinian" is an identity taken on by this particular group of Arabs in the 1960's. Or in their own words: \n\nThe Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism. \n\nFor tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan. \n\n--Zahir Muhsein

My husband is German and he does not hate Jews or any one Group (as a whole) for that matter. Hate is a sign of weakness in a person, shows their too lazy to find the good.

the jewish don't tend to mix with others which leads to people stereotyping them.

That we're anti-Semitic, homophobic, greedy, intolerant Crusaders out to destroy your people, Sawyer. So untrue. I like Jews and any true Christian would too. The same goes for gays and other people of other lifestyles and faiths. We don't hate them either.\nThere are those who wear a Christian mask and are not Christians at all.

I am Greek and i believe that there are small number of people who hate Jews. And they hate them because they aren't well educated. Many people hate the government of Israel but this is something differed. They hate any militaristic government including US or UK or Italian they hate war and thats all.

Historically, the early Christians thought of themselves as Jews who also followed the teachings of Jesus.  Later people became Christians who did not want to also be Jews and in time the leadership of the early church decreed that new converts did not have to follow Jewish custom.  This caused controversy and the church began to distance itself from Judaism.  In time Christians began to resent Jews who wouldn't accept that Jesus was the Messiah and the way to salvation.  They began to use Jews as scapegoats for all that was wrong.  The especially blamed the Jews for the crucifixion and used this as a pretext for all sorts of persecutions.  As the church became more Roman in character this scapegoating was particularly important because after all crucifixion was a Roman form of execution.  After Constantine proclaimed that Christianity was the official religion of the Roman Empire, the emperors strove to suppress all other religions.  They were fairly successful in eliminating the worship of the old Roman gods as well as various other religions popular at the time but the Jews persisted.  By this time most of them had been driven from their home land for even before the empire became Christian the Jews had resisted Roman rule in part because like the Christians they wouldn't worship the Roman gods.\n\nBy the time the Roman empire collapsed and the middle ages began, persecuting Jews was a cultural habit.  It is always convenient for the people in power to have one group to pick on and blame for their own failings.  In largely Christian Europe the non-conforming Jews filled that bill. Whenever there was a disaster or a plague, the authorities could blames the Jews.  Generations of people grew up believing that Jews were to be hated just because their parents did. Much later Hitler came to power by playing up this ingrained hatred and making the people believe that everything wrong with Germany was the fault of the Jews.  Even today various groups stir up hate for Jews (and other minorities) to advance their own political agendas.  Since they usually have nothing positive to offer they instead try to gain adherents by giving them someone to hate and fear and thus to organize against.

Its not. The thing is that Jesus Christ set a particular lifestyle one that many find hard to live. They love their sins and refuse to give them up. For this reason they resent and hate those that "preach" this. \n\nAlso some people feel that due to the way Jesus died that we are going to hate Jewish people. That's silly its completely opposite of his teachings of brotherly love. Jesus forgave those that were hurting him at that time. So I must do the same. Besides I can't hold an entire race or faith resposible for things done by specific few over 2000 years ago.

As much as I love the Jews they have always mocked, jailed, beaten , killed or ignored their prophets. They are defiant to God and won't accept any prophet or messiah.

You obviously do ,but i got news for you not every one is like you and to say the maximum people is incorrect.\n\nbillions of people on this planet dont even know what Jews are.\n\nthe reason for their continuous persequesions are ,because theologically speaking they betrayed jesus and denied him as their king or something\n\nthey also have been bankers , like for ever,and many people.\nowed money to Jewish banks.Often it was easier to kill them ,than to pay them back.\n\nYes, it is true Jew s are disliked by many people but globally speaking this is still a very small percent, to say the maximum ,borders on a racist remark.\n\nI am sure some jewish people will take this issue up with you in much more detail.

I was raised as a Christian for safety reasons, but when my family moved to Florida we openly practiced Judaism again. \n\nI have no love for my fellow "Jews," most of whom have are converts, or are of mixed descent. The communities in Florida such as the Chabad on the Space Coast, and Temple Israel which is a reformed synagogue farther inland were as welcoming as a hornets nest. \n\nMy family and I tried to fit into their way of thinking, but they never accepted us.\n\nWe are Jews by birthright, and my family's lineage is pure on both my paternal and maternal sides. Unfortunately we weren't accepted by the Chabad because our birthright was not purchased, and the Reformed temple wouldn't accept us because most of the congregation had Nazi blood and was run by the daughter of a high level Nazi official. \n\nThere are very few left today are can truly be called Jews (despite what you may believe it is a birthright NOT a religion, and it takes ten generations/100 years before a convert's family/descendents are considered Jews). Unfortunately those that remain are well hidden and very far between.\n\nI don't believe that this generation's "Jew Haters" actually know who they hate. Their anger is simply directed at the group most obvious to them, and this is often their own people who have simply forgotten their past. \n\nFrom what I have seen, it is not the Nazis, or even the KKK and other such radical groups that cause most of the problems. It is the tightly-nit and inbred communities currently posing as Jews that create the hostility. They are unwilling to accept those who are not raised with their mindset, and while refusing to allow acceptance, try to force people to stay. \n\nMy family left Florida because we were not accepted by the Local "Jewish communities," they closed off the jobs, and it was near impossible to find work. Now that we have left they are the biggest problem. We are still alive and safe, but it is only by Hashem's hand and his alone that we survived the trip. \n\nI am sorry if I have offended anyone, but Nazis and other such groups are no longer the greatest threat to "True Jews", they are only the most publicized. It is the communities of Nazi-Jew descendents, Lilith worshipping converts, and mumzirm who pose as Jews that have become the true Jew haters. They are also the reason I have little respect for other "Jews" and no concern about the welfare of such people.

Here is the Wikipedia explanation, including other Biblical references to them that explain why they were not regarded as good buddies to the Israelites:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amalek

There is an excellent and very detailed analysis of this question in the book "Why People Believe Weird Things: Pseudoscience, Superstition, and Other Confusions of Our Time" by Michael Shermer. He discusses the motivations and tactics of those who deny the Holocaust ever happened; then he goes on to provide evidence of how we know it did. It's a fascinating book. I highly recommend it.\n\nAnd yes, as you can imagine, they are largely anti-Semitic with a bit of a paranoid streak, and tend to be conspiracy theorists as well.

""Why is it Jewish People believe they are the chosen people?""\n\nBecause we are, because Gd said so, because Gd does not change his mind, because Gd said the covenant between Him and we Jews is eternal, just like He is eternal, because History has proved this to be true, because the Jews themselves have proven this to be true!!!\n\nAs Mark Twain Wrote in Harper's Magazine, March issue, 1898\n"Concerning The Jews"::::\n\n"""To conclude. - If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one per cent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of star-dust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly the Jew ought hardly to be heard of; but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world's list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. \n\nHe has made a marvellous fight in this world, in all the ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. \n\nThe Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?"""  \n\nThat secret is that we are, indeed, Gd's Chosen People!!

It is not hating or loving them. It was looking much easier solution to put them back in their native place/origin than keeping them in racist western nations. But at the cost of Palestine people. Still Jews and Palestines could live amicably if no intimidation from other Arab nations.  But unfortunately neither Arabs nor Jews nor White Westerners are non-racists. They born up with hatred. It is not that easy to get rid of that drug.

Jews don't hate Christians so much as the distrust them, with good reason. We have a horrible reputation with them historically. But TV people don't make fun of Jesus because they're Jewish, but because they are irreligious. It's Just Satan having his say.
