Cause they haven`t had world war 3 yet and if he can instigate it, then he will go down in history as being a reincarnation of good ol` Adolf the Hitler. Plus he gets to kill the children of the middle class. What a bargain for a lying,stinking,useless,piece of rat manure.

Mishk, your question is a good one.  Anti-semitism is as old as the Bible when Esau hated Jacob.  Esau and Jacob are sons of Isaac who was a son of Abraham.  Roman Empire comes from Esau and Jews come from Jacob.  \n\nUnlike the bad rap that Islam is getting today, hatred toward Jews is baseless.  People are mistrusting of Islam today only because of the constant terrorism that occurs, especially 9/11 here in America, whereas through the generations Jews have been scapegoated for no social or political reason other than being successful and contributing enormously to their societies.  Although Hitler did go after other minority groups (homosexuals, disabled, etc.), his Final Solution was disproportionately aimed at eradicating the Jewish Nation.  He was not the first nor will he be the last.  We just celebrated Purim which commemorates G-d's saving us from an evil person named Haman who lived (I forget what year) in the BC era. And today certain Arab groups in Israel are intent on driving the Jews into the Sea.  So as you see Anti-semitism does rear it's ugly head generation after generation.  Thank G-d our faith in G-d is strong and when we stay close to G-d and His Torah we continue to survive as a nation.  \n\nCheck out these sites to give you more insight into this and Judaism in general.  http://www.aish.com/ and http://www.chabad.org/\n\nFeel free to e-mail me if you wish to discuss this further.  I am a religious Jew and have grappled with the same issue as you.\n  \nYour question is excellent!\n\nBest of Luck.

Yes. You are obviously attempting to make a point that Hitler was not so bad as everyone thinks he was.\n\nHitler was bitter because he felt Germany was spurned by Europe in the aftermath of the Treaty of Versailles. He was a strangely enigmatic man, and what he told people about Germany becoming great once again seemed wonderful to thousands of others who felt like he did.\n\nHitler used strongarm tactics (essentially, his hired thugs beat up anyone who stood in his way, hence the SA) to become Chancellor, and then he started the new Reich. \n\nHitler had announced intents to "regain" parts of the Fatherland lost in WWI, and this obviously shows his aggression. He started moving in quickly on Austria-Hungary and also he annexed other parts of Europe, over weak European protests. \n\nHitler built up German military forces, despite the re-creation of a strong German military banned in the Treaty of Versailles. This also shows his intent to start a war.\n\nWhen Hitler invaded Poland, he started World War II. He knew the consequences, he just thought that the English wouldn't hold true to their promise to fight. He knew he could beat France and Poland, and with Stalin as an ally he didn't have to worry about watching his back.\n\nHitler started WWII, no question about it. \n\nOh, one more thing. You cite Mein Kampf as a source. However, Mein Kampf is much more of a self-glorifying propoganda novel than an actual historical book. I read that book once, and I was sickened. It was truly a look into the mind of a twisted, evil man.\n\nIf you are sympathetic to the Nazi cause, reconsider. Nazis killed over seven million people in cold blood, and millions more for their own twisted motives.

Ahh. Finally an intelligent, meaningful, properly spelled and punctuated question.\n\nIn my educated opinion:\n\n1) Because of the way the German people were treated after World War I came to an end. The Americans, French, and English foolishly did not offer any aid to the Germans, but instead allowed the economic conditions in Germany to deterioriate. After WWI, Germany experienced a hyperinflation that, in practical terms, meant that the average person's standard of living got worse every month. People were quite unhappy, and Hitler exploited this unhappiness by pointing to a scapegoat: the Jews. (Please note that the opposite happened after World War II because of the Marshall Plan.)\n\n2) Because of a continuing and underlying hatred of Jewish people, not only in Germany, but across Europe. In my opinion, this hatred was not only tolerated, but to some extent encouraged, by the Catholic church. It goes back to the ridiculous idea that Jesus Christ was killed by Jews. When Hitler offered up the Jews as scapegoats, many Germans agreed with the concept.\n\n3) The unquestioning loyalty to goverment and country of the German people, and the unwillingness of good people to speak out before it was too late. See below.\n\n4) Hitler's brilliance as a motivator and public speaker.\n\n5) The average person's well-founded fear of Hitler's government.\n\nHere is a famous quotation from Martin Niemoller:\nFirst they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—\nbecause I was not a communist;\nThen they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—\nbecause I was not a socialist;\nThen they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—\nbecause I was not a trade unionist;\nThen they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—\nbecause I was not a Jew;\nThen they came for me—\nand there was no one left to speak out.\n\nTHANK YOU for asking this question.

So many people are so ignorant that they dont care anymore.  I think some people can't get over the past. Well, myself, wasn't alive when a lot of it(the past)happened.  Just because I have German heritage doesn't mean that I had anything to do with the death of Jews and neither does my ansestors.  C'mon people, get real and figure it out!  We are all human and the only difference between us is the color of our skin or hair, we all bleed red, we all cry and guess what, we're all American. The past is just that, the past.

you know if you think of it in another way.. hitler is actually someone to look up to... well forget about the killing.... he was a very well opimistic person which a lot of us could use nowadays.... well they hate him because after the war he created the world became poorer... a lot of earth treaures gone missing, resources lesser than usual.... and hey    a lot more diseases are popping out because of the war he caused

Without question.  Assassination of Hitler would have been a defensive tactic, not an aggressive one.  Hitler was the aggressor.  \n\nThe choice back then was either to kill Hitler, or to kill hundreds of thousands in a world war.  Since we didn't kill Hitler, we had to kill hundreds of thousands.  \n\nWhich would be more moral: killing one man, or refraining from killing one man and having to kill a million other men (more innocent men) as a consequence?

People may not agree with the President...but hatred from the rest of the world has been aimed at us for generations.  I've seen this guys questions....and he does need to grow up.

It is becuse people are miserable and misery loves company. When people hurt they want others to hurt. That is why Hitler did what he did.\n\nFor more detail on this and what you can do about it to help yourself, see below site with latest psychology research on this. It is a new religion.

Actually look at it this way...everyone there is as ignorant as sh*t.  Especially the ones that were there protesting against the Nazi a$$holes.  By yelling at them, you only "aid them in their cause".  Guess what, if no one showed up, they'd have to go home, because there would be no one there to hear them spew their hatred.

He isn't. People just don't know their history, so they THINK he's the most hated.

Hitler was an idiot and the most not cool person in history!  People did see through him, they were just scared to say so because he was a freaking lunatic

Hitler did not all of a sudden say, 'Hey, lets band everyone together by hating Jews.' The hatred of Jews in Europe goes all the way back to the time it became Christian. Passages in the Christian's New Testament paint "The Jews" as being the children of the devil, hypocritical, and interested only in money rather than in Gd. \n\nWho wrote the following???\n\n"""But since I learned that those miserable and accursed people do not cease to lure to themselves even us, that is, the Christians, I have published this little book, so that I might be found among those who opposed such poisonous activities of the Jews and who warned the Christians to be on their guard against them....Now, in order to strengthen our faith, we want to deal with a few crass follies of the Jews in their belief and their exegesis of the Scriptures, since they so maliciously revile our faith. If this should move any Jew to reform and repent, so much the better. We are now not talking with the Jews but about the Jews and their dealings, so that our Germans, too, might be informed....Our Lord also calls them a "brood of vipers"; furthermore, in John' 3:39 he states: "If you were Abraham's children would do what Abraham did.... You are of your father the devil." It was intolerable to them to hear that they were not Abraham's but the devil's children, nor can they bear to hear this today.... For they are a heavy burden, a plague, a pestilence, a sheer misfortune for our country. Proof for this is found in the fact that they have often been expelled forcibly from a country, far from being held captive in it....Therefore be on your guard against the Jews, knowing that wherever they have their synagogues, nothing is found but a den of devils in which sheer self-glory, conceit, lies, blasphemy, and defaming of God and men are practiced most maliciously and veheming his eyes on them.......but then eject them forever from this country. For, as we have heard, God's anger with them is so intense that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse and worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them!"""\n\nIt was Martin Luther, one of the founders of the Protestant movement in Christianity!

At the end of WWI, the US very much wanted to help rebuild and bring Germany back into the fold-in fact rebuilding Europe as a more integrated continent was forfront the the US devising of the League of Nations.  Unfortunately, the other allies very much wanted to punish Germany, to teach it a lesson, since they are still stuck in the "great powers" mindset.  This devastated the country, and allowed the growth of a "victim" mentality-used against Jews as internal enemies and the other European countries as external enemies.  At the end of WWII, the US was in a position this time to dictate that Germany would be rebuilt and reintegrated.  Though we don't like to see anything particularly good about Stalin's Russia (and there werent that many good things) they also kept punishment to a minimum, and integrated East Germany into their system..the cause of the poor conditions in East Germany was much more a factor of the system than it was of any punishment.  The German people themselves have maintained a very clear and active analysis of their collective guilt, which has been far more effective in resolving issues than external punishment.

You should explain how everybody in Germany was afraid and starving and the Hitler came along and said all their problems were because of the Jews.  Then after awhile, the people of Germany saw that Hitler was actually bad but then they were too afraid of Hitler and the SS to stand up to them.   Hitler was the same as a school bully who picks on a few kids and no one else has the courage to stop him.
