What does everyone have against Jews?
366678
The main reason is that they were marked as 'the ones who killed Christ'. So, in Western Europe, \n(1) they were restricted in the jobs they could take; they became the only financiers and moneylenders; so when a King wanted to get rid of all the debts, he just had to kick out the Jews. \n(2) Ideal scapegoats. Want to deflect the blame about a terrible drought? The Jews did it! They killed Christ! Punishment from God!

I think plenty. But a few come to mind off the top of my head:\n\n1. The same issue that Jewish people have always faced, rejecting or accepting Jesus as the Jewish Messiah.\n\n2. There is a current trend in Judaism at large where most Jews are becoming more and more "reformed." Most Jews in Israel are not even believers in God. Most Jews in America care little about God, they just like to keep up appearances by going to Schul (Temple, Synagogue) on Passover and Yom Kippur. As a nation the Jews are facing the same issue that's been plaguing them since biblical times, the fact they they largely reject and ignore Yahweh (God). \n\n3. The Jews in Israel are also facing the ever severe problem of Arab and Islamic fundamentalists wanting to destroy them from the face of the earth!\n\n4. Most Jewish people are also facing the ever increasing problem that affects almost everyone at one point in time, they question who they are individually. "what does it mean to be a Jew," "what makes someone a Jew," etc.\n\nHope this helps.

Muslims do not hate the Jews, people may. \nMuslims are ordered to protect there faith of Jews & Christians.\n\nLet us presume you live in America and New England is occupied by many immigrants. These immigrants take it upon themselves to remove all the population of New England. You are living in a refugee camp. You home, your personal effects, your work place and fields is occupied by them. The UN decide to approve the Ethnic Cleansing.\n\nLater these Immigrants decide that they would like the mid west as well. You are helpless and you are forced to live over the Rocky mountains with millions of others. These Immigrants then decide to occupy the rockies and turn all the rivers towards the Mid west.\n\nYou have no water, walls are built across you remaining land so you cannot visit your friends and relatives, Your home, your personal effects, your work place and fields are a distant memoory.\n\nWhat would you do?\n\nlook at the below URL {a Jewish site}

I am Jewish and can answer that anti-semitism can be fought by haiving people mix and mingle with Jewish people and have positive experiences/ Anit Israel existence and demonization comes from thos e who want the land as it is developed and fertile compared to other Middle East areas. We must stand up for our rights and protect our country always. Holocaust denial...keep showing people the real papers and the real thing if they think it did not exist. I can tell you it did and there exist many people who suffered as a result of it who are in their 80's now and still remembering the horrors of a person and his crazy viewpoints of races.\nKeep your ideas strong and your faith in who you are and what you believe in. Be proud to be part of a religion that is pure and tradtional and family -oriented. Be proud to have a history and a reason to defend it. Never let anyone take away your country , your faith or your history .

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.

Amen, sista'!\nI'm jewish and have the same problem with people's warped attitudes on this.  We should form an organization: "Women against stupid religious warmongering and prejudice."

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

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.

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...."

I know what you mean...\n\nI had a guy at school call me "freaking Nazi" everyday a school... he made others hate me.... I had no friends there.....    His reason for doing it?  He made up lies about me, he said I hated Jewish people...\n\nHe falsly accused me of what I didn't do... and he made everyone else believe it.\n\nHe hurt me deeply......  but God gave me the grace to forgive him...\n\neven though he wasn't sorry.\n\n\nThis is what you can do:\n\n\nGet your parents to meet with his parents... that ended the problem for me.\n\n\nThe best thing to do, is not call him names or do anything bad to him, even though he deserves it... he can use that against you.\n\n\n\nForgive him.\n\n\nGod bless you and yours.

I'm not a real scholar on this but I'll give it a shot.  Jews have always been discriminated against.  I think in some european countries they were barred from holding land, so over time they became involved in finances and banking.  When people in Germany were getting their homes forclosed during the depressions there, they blamed the banks, and therefore the Jews.  Political leaders were able to stir up this hatred pretty easily and from there I don't know what the heck happened.  It's like everyone suddenly lost their morality!  \n\nI welcome corrections from anyone, I just repeating what I think I read.

I knew about all of these and tell other people.  Unfortunately, people ignorantly give Israelis a permanent "get out of jail free" card regardless of how repugnant, murderous and terroristic their actions are.\n\nNo doubt you have been call "anti-semetic" as much as I have for saying these things, and no doubt you defend Israel's right to exist, as I do.\n\nOh, that's right: any criticism of Israel means you're a "nazi", no matter how factual your words are....
