Why do Jews get angry about anti Semitic While about 96% of the jews are not semitic?

The term Antisemitic and all its variant have nothing to do with the actual definition of Semitic.  Semitic refers to a group of languages from the middle-east.\n\nThe term Antisemitic was specifically coined by a Jew hater named Wilhelm Marr in 1859.  The term was created as a more scientific term to replace the term in use then, "Judenhass" which translates to Jew Hatred.  So all the variants of Antisemitic, Antisemite, Antisemitism, etc. are various forms that all mean Jew Hatred.  This is not semitic hatred but Jew hatred as defined.\n\nToday, the Arabs are working to have the definition broadened to include Arabs because the see the word semitic and want to include Arabs along with Jews.  They want to do this strictly for political and propaganda purposes.\n\nJews will never allow the definition to change.  Any change will dilute the power of these words, and allow people to claim they don't really hate Jews when they use these terms.\n\nJeffrey

No.  Anti-semites are a bit lower.

I hear a lot of people bashing the Jewish people, mostly out of jealousy, they see how, as a whole, blessed and prosperous the Jewish people are- I see that there is a higher intelligence and higher rate of success amongst the Jewish people-  I truly believe this is because the Jewish people as a whole take God's instructions seriously, they do not take for granted the covenant that God made with Abraham.  God created the world with certain laws and principles in motion and obedience to God's word brings blessing and I believe that this is what has happened amongst the Jewish people.   For the rest of the world, I believe that God made a way for us to be grafted in- this is described in the Bible but basically, having a respect for the Jewish people, seeing that the ways they are set apart as a Holy people are for a reason and recognizing the picture of the Messiah in those ways rather than looking down on them, opens the door for the same blessing for the gentiles as well.

We  don't use the term BASHING when we speak up  against the violence committed by the Israelis, we call that Anti-semitic, for those who speak out against the religious right, that is also not called BASHING, there are words like Infidel, Heretic, Unbeliever, and my favorite, Hell-bound SOB.

There is nothing wrong with being Jewish. There is nothing wrong with the religion of Judaism. There is nothing wrong with the religions of Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism or any other recognized major religion out there. \n\nIts what people do with those religions that cause the problem. And its how other people of one religion view others of another religion that cause problems. And that discrimination is what is wrong.\n\nIt does seem there is a negative stereotype of the typical Jewish person though - just like there are negative stereotypes of people of every religion. Many people are ignorant whether by poor education or choose to be so - it is those attitudes that are unacceptable.\n\nPeople like to make themselves feel better. They want to feel that whatever group they belong to whether it be race, religion or nationality, is better than the other groups. They want to attribute blame to other groups as the cause of their problems or the worlds problems.\n\nOf course with today's political climate with tensions in the Middle East, its easy for people to say if there were no Jewish people, there wouldn't be the problem. However, that is the wrong view. Once you start with that, you open up a Pandora's box. People can then say that Muslims are all terrrorists or something and should be blamed for all the worlds problems. And you can say Christians are the cause of all the Crusades in the past and in power in the US and like to interfere in the affairs of other sovereign nations and should be blamed for all the worlds problems. Eventually someone will take the idea too far and feel genocide is the answer - Hitler, Slobodan Milosevic in Bosnia, multiple warlords in Africa.

The term “antisemitic” and all of the words derived from it, like “antisemite,” have nothing to do with the actual definition of the word, “semitic.” The word, “semitic” refers to a group of languages that are, themselves, derived from the same language common to all of them, which includes, Ugaritic, Hebrew, Arabic, and other languages common in the ancient Mesopotamian world.\n\nThe term “antisemitic” was specifically coined by a Jew hater named Wilhelm Marr in 1859, who was proud of his own hatred of Jews. The term was created to sound more scientific, to make is sound as though the Jews were a race (the Jews are NOT a race!), and to replace "Judenhass," which translates to “Jew Hatred.” All the variants of antisemitic, antisemite, antisemitism, etc. are various forms that all mean Jew Hatred. This is not “semite-hatred” but “Jew hatred” and it was defined as only Jew-hatred from the very beginning.\n\nToday, the Arabs are working to have the definition broadened to include Arabs because the see the word semitic and want to include Arabs along with Jews. They want to do this strictly for political and propaganda purposes. However, the term semite does not refer to them, it refers to their language, Arabic, and the term antisemitism refers to the hatred of only Jews.\n\nThe Jews are so incredibly small in numbers, the Arab Muslims, especially IN AFRICA are so huge in numbers, the vast majority of Jews did not come to the U.S. until well AFTER the Civil War, and after the slave trade.\n\nFROM ::\n\nhttp://jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu/~plarson/smuseum/jas.htm\n\n"""Jews, Slavery, and the Slave Trade \nIn my years of teaching about slavery and the slave trade, this is perhaps the most frequent and persistent of the questions I consistently receive. Most of the askers are either Jews or African Americans. \n\nThe short answer is that persons of Jewish heritage played only a peripheral role in either the slave trade or as slave owners. \n\nThe idea that some Jews participated in the slave trade and were slave owners often comes up in a context in which responsibility for the slave trade is placed mainly at the feet of Jews. This is wrong. We must question why there is such interest in Jews and the slave trade. Never once in my classroom has anyone asked, for example, if Norwegians or Danes or--for that matter--Christians--participat... in the slave trade. Even asking the question implies some special relationship of Jews to enslavement. The vast majority of individuals involved in and benefitting from the slave trade were either African Muslims or Christian Europeans.\n\nJews might best be characterized as people largely on the sidelines of slavery, although a very small number benefitted along with the majority of Christian traders and masters."""

I am not anti-semetic, however Isreal is using the same genocidal tactics against the indigenious people of the area they have conquested, that were employed upon them by the Nazi's in WWII. The Jewish state had not been in existance for 2,000 years, then one day they arrive in force and begin seizing land and killing off the people of the land. They should be included in the axis of terror, however becasue of the Judeao-Christian influence in America they are considered to be full filling the biblical phrophecy. I reject the Bible as does monst of the world as a work of historical fiction with over tomes of a superior race. What they are doing is racism,, it can not be excused.

Hitler first hated the Jews because he was, of course, mentally ill.  He blamed them for the defeat of WW 1, and a host of other societal ills.  Then, once he had detained the Jews in prison camps, he hated them even more because they refused to be defeated...even by death.  The following explanation says it all:\n\nIt was written by a French author, Jon DeBileda, during the latter part of the 19th Century.\n\n\n"In essence the Jewish people chuckle at all forms of anti-Semitism. Think all you want and you will not be able to find one form of brutality or strategy that has not been used in warfare against the Jewish people. I cannot be defeated, says Judaism. All that you attempt to do to me today has been attempted 3,200 years prior in Egypt. Then tried the Babylonians and Persians... Afterwards tried the Romans and then others and others....\n\nThere is no question that the Jews will outlive us all. This is an eternal people...."

There aren't 18 million Jews, there are only 15 million.\n\nAnd no one has taken a poll as to how many are. Some else's answer saying that most are "apathetic" is probably the best answer.\n\nBut, if we base it on how many Jews in general are affiliated with pro Israel organizations vs. anti Israel organizations, the pro far far outweigh the anti.\nSomeone's reference to the "jews not zionism" website is a prime example of this. The anti zionist Neturei Karta are a tiny group with few followers and are even condemned by other anti Zionist groups!

As a jewish person, i do not "hate" you because you are christian or from lebanon. You are an individual equal to me in every way shape and form. Welcome to america, go out and do the very best you can, let people judge you from your actions and words, not from where you came from.

To be an anti-christ, you have to believe that he was the christ. Since Jews dont believe that Jesus was the christ, the messiah, it CANT be a Jew.

Primarily because it was popular to do so at the time.  Hitler believed in a conspiracy theory that said the Jews wanted to take over the world.   Hitler wrote (well he dictated it and it was heavily edited) called Mein Kampf - My Struggle in English, that does shed some light on his anti-Semitism (hating of the Jewish people)  I've included some resources below that may help you in your research. \n\n(I am not Jewish, but in an effort to be unbiased I must disclose that I do have Jewish relatives. The links I provided I have found personally useful and I find their coverage of the Holocaust to almost universally accepted.  There are however small groups which feel that the Holocaust never happened.  You will have to draw your own conclusions.  I was not alive then but the historical records and primary source material I have consulted have convinced me of the horrible reality of the Holocaust or Shoah.)

Some Jews are Anti-Zionism, some others are Israeli and the most of Israelis are Zionist (Zionists are killing innocent unarmed Palestinians, Occupying Palestinians land, Kidnapping Palestinians, Torturing them, etc.).\nZionists claiming Anti-Zionism's Jews are disgusting, because Zionists thinking all of Jews should be Israel's followers and supporting it, otherwise they are traitors.\n\nAnyway, Among Jews, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, etc are some extremists.\nThe main problem occurs while these kind of people ridding a country like Israel.

As a Jew, there is nothing wrong with us, no matter what any Anti-Semite might say. The reality is that we have been persecuted as a people for hundreds and thousands of years, and that probably will not change anytime soon. But no matter what lame reason people may give to hate us, we will always be here.

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.

I don't think you should be PRO-JEW, because they are just like every other race. I can accept like me you are pro-people, individuals. No matter what Race they are from. The Israelis and by association the Jews in general want us all to succomb to their apparent hatred for anyone but another Jew. Time to call it as it is. They are acting in a way that is no different to when Hitler tried to wipe them off the face of the Earth. Murdering b*st**ds.

What's so ironic, that there can be a gay jew or that jews can by ignorant homophobes just like the rest of people?\n\nJewish people are quite adept at reverse discrimination.  Don't believe me?  Try and marry one!\n\nIncidentally, Orthodox Jews are kind of ****.  They don't really get along with the rest of Jews in Israel or outside of Israel anyway.  Not so dissimilar from America's religious right.
