Jews are hated by some not for their religion but mainly becasue of the politics going around in middle east and occupation, violance, bulldozing of houses, terrorism etc. etc. Actually prophet of Islam, had a very good relationship with jews who were not fighting with him to get rid of him. He used to visit Jews when invited or when they are sick etc.

http://www.historychannel.com did several documentaries on him and may have more information.  I believe one of his grandparents were Jewish (father's side).  I also know he was a failed artist, a corporal in the German Army in WWI, very into the occult, dispised Christianity almost as much as he did the Jewish faith (the concentration camp/execution squads killed about 6 million of each), was a socialpathic control freak, and very into animal rights and environmental issues.\n\nHe was also an avowed marxist but believed if he controlled people's minds, he didn't need to control their property (The theory behind the National Socialist Movement).  He persecuted German Communists, but only because they were competition.  Hitler actually liked Stalin and conspired with him to destroy Poland in 1939.  He hated the Russian people with a passion though, and also desired the resource rich areas of the Ukrain, Romania (Germany's ally), Moldovia, and the Caususes.\n\nHis micromanagement style in military affairs helped lead to Germany's defeat in WWII.  His intervention in Guderian's attack against France allowed the BEF and Free French forces to escape at Dunkirk.  Hitler's lack of forsight in Africa lead to Rommel eventually running out of supplies and vehicles.  Hitler's interference in the Battle of Britton allowed the UK to repell the air attacks, fortify its islands, and rearm its troops.  His ill timed attack into Russia and interference with Army operations (move the two armies south instead of maintaining momentum to hit Moscow in the late summer) allowed the USSR to recover and go on the offensive.  Hitler's interference, and falling for the Allied deception operations, in Normandy allowed the Allies time to establish a beachhead and overwhelm the Germans with superior numbers.  And finally, his unwillingness to fully mobilize the German economy for war meant his units were often short of supplies.\n\nHitler was sometimes refferred to as the best "ally" the Allies had, militarily speaking.

Adolf certainly was a complex individual with many demons antagonizing a small brain.  He probably should have stuck to his earlier career, that of a house painter. The German army, during WWI didn't think much of him either, he made it to lowly corporal when, during war time, rank is relatively easy to make.  All you need do is stay alive and have half a brain.  We all know that he stayed alive.\n \nAdolf seemed to have relationship problems with women, it is my guess that he was a closet homosexual (not that there's anything wrong with it)but knew that his ambitions in politics would grind to a screeching halt if anyone knew.\n\nHis hatred for Jews is a mystery, except that he disliked their business practices and monopoly of many of the professions.  Speculation has it that he too had Jewish blood (bite your tongue).\n\nHis war time strategy was horrendously bad, especially his collaberration with astrology.  This was Germany's downfall militarily.  This man would overrule his generals and admirals on strategic matters that would end in failure.  Those failures were demoralizing and costly to the Third Reich and eventually brought Germany to defeat in WWII.  The best idea Hitler ever had was the Volkswagon.  That was even better than the 'chicken in every pot'.  I believe this was coined by FDR, during the depression.\n\nHitlers biggest strength was his fiery oratories.  He had the ability to encite the German people in a time when they needed a way out.  Even they couldn't read between the lines on where this guy was taking them, and by the time they realized it, it was probably too late.  He knew that anti-semnitism ran high amongst the Germans, and he played on that for all it was worth.  This should be a warning to all, in a democracy such as ours.  All men are created equal!  Don't ever forget that, and do not let it get in your way when deciding equality, politics, professions, religion or any other debate that you may run in to, in your lifetime.

hitler rose to pwer when he failed drawing shiot in vienna - that was in the roaring 20's but not roring in Germany because they lost the war. he got so mad about that those orther germans listened to him, and then he burned down that parlamant building and called a state of emergency and there was nothing looking back from ther\n\ntoo bad his only talent was making people hate jews and gays and communicsts. if he was a good artist prolly a lot of people would hav survivd. funny how that shiot works out.

it really is a very paradoxical question, but it happens when you're growing up in a society that is full of hate towards one race. i've seen jewish people (jewish by birth that is) hate the jewish people, even becoming neo-nazis in their hate.\n\nif you watch the movie "the believer," you'll get an amazing and vivid example just how deep hatred can run.

I always wondered that to.  Why did the Germans hate them so much?

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!

no. People always hated jews for some reason. remember hitler and concentration camps for the jews? I think it has to do more of race and the way they practiced their religion.  Back then people "forced" the christian religion or any religion upon others and it wasn't illegal.  It was just that the jews were there at the wrong place and the wrong time so they were victimized. maybe. And the jews were always poor back then.  Except for the king who was dumb!  That's why moses or this one guy stole from the rich and gave to the poor.  Remember robin hood? Remembet the rugrats Passover special?

In 1933, less than 1% of the German population was Jewish. Jews contributed significantly to German culture. Many served in World War I and thought of themselves as Germans first and Jews second. They considered Germany a home; their passionate ties and blind loyalty to Germany caused them to be blind to the harsh reality of anti-Semitic measures (Refugee Crisis 5).\n\nBefore the war, Hitler used the law  to effectively remove Jews from public life. Under the excuse of ensuring racial "purity," numerous decrees were passed allowing harassment, imprisonment, and murder. These decrees were aimed at not only Jews, but anyone defined as "non-Aryan" (5). More than 400 specifically anti-Jewish decrees were enacted based on the Nazi definition of "non-Aryan" ("Final Solution" 3).\n\nAfter the Enabling Act, violence against Jews escalated. On April 1, the Nazi regime called for a national boycott of all Jewish business. Lists of specific businesses and individuals to be boycotted were published. German Jewish leaders were ordered to deny reports of Nazi atrocities committed against Jews. The boycott lasted three days and revealed the efficiency of Nazi intelligence on Jewish economic life. The idea that it was permissible to destroy life without impunity was strengthened ("Final Solution" 2). Most of the Jewish leaders believed that the Nazi regime would be short-lived. German Jews who began to feel the stigma of isolation had no centrally organized spokesman or organized representation to protest. On April 4, 1933, the first law specifically dealing with Jews was passed (Refugee \nCrisis 5). \n\nJews were barred from civil service and on April 7; the German government issued an order firing all civil servants not of "Aryan" descent. This was the first instance of discrimination based on "race" which was consistent with German law. These actions created thousands of jobs for "Aryans." On April 11, a decree was issued defining "non-Aryans" as those who descended from "non-Aryan" grandparents ("Final Solution" 2). The Nazis issued instructional charts to help distinguish Jews from Mischlinge (Germans of mixed races) and Aryans. The white figures represent Aryans; black figures represent Jews; shaded figures represent Mischlinge (Race Laws 1). This law provided precedent for the concept of racial inequality. Differences between non-Jewish Germans and Jewish Germans became an issue of legal interpretation. This laid the foundation for a method of legalizing persecution (Refugee Crisis 5). On April 26, the state police came under the control of the Nazi government. The Gestapo had unlimited police powers; they could follow, arrest, interrogate, and detain without outside authority. Still ignorant of the reality around them and hopeful that the Nazi regime would collapse, Jews went to their local police for help. They appealed to the courts for protection or payment for damages caused by Nazis. Most could not believe that basic civil rights, due process under the law, and the right to a defense and appeal were no longer applicable (6). \n\nBook burnings became common in pre-war Germany. On May 10, 1933, in Berlin, the first of a series of book burnings took place. The effort was aimed at erasing literary and scientific contributions of intellectuals, specifically of Jewish scholars (6). On September 28, Jews were excluded from all artistic, dramatic, literary, and film enterprises. On September 29, Jewish farmers, or those with Jewish ancestors, could no longer own farmland and were denied rights to family property inheritance. 37,000 or more Jews left Germany in 1933, but many stayed hoping the terror would pass (6).\n\n1934 was marked by an increase in anti-Semitic actions and crushing all opposition. After the consolidation of power in 1934, the path was cleared for Hitler and the NSDAP-the National Socialist German Workers'

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.

Jews weren't the only ones, there were plenty of others killed by the nazis in their quest for world domination and the perfect race.  But the jewish people were predominatly the ones that were victimized and had the largest numbers killed.  The why is simple, hatred of something they didn't understand and scapegoating a race of people just so they could have someone to blame for germanys ills.

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.

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 would be happy to help you understand, if that was your goal.  It's obviously not you hate-filled little thug.  You carefully craft your question with just the right words to make Jews look bad and yourself look good.\n\nWell, guess what you stupid Jew hating creep...you only made yourself look ignorant.  People see right through your bigoted crap.\n\nNow go play in the freeway or something.

Why? The reasons (or should I say "excuses") are as old as prejudice itself...\n\nEconomic  ~ People hate Jews because they possess too much wealth and power. \n\nChosen People ~ People hate Jews because they arrogantly claim they are the chosen people. \n\nScapegoats ~ Jews are a convenient group to single out and blame for troubles. \n\nDeicide ~ (the killing of a deity) People hate Jews because they killed Jesus. \n\nOutsiders ~ People hate Jews because they are different than they are.\n\nRacial Theory ~  People hate Jews because they believe them an inferior race. \n\nOn can only assume because frankly, hatred of the Jews is ancient and nearly universal. Some believe (including many Jewish Scholars) the real reason they're hated is because......the Jews are right...\n\nThere is no easy answer, but there are literally 100's of books on the subject you could read
