do christians hate jews, if not, why did they send millions of them to the gas chambers?

Does the shabby behavior with Jews for 2000 years in all over Europe or America tell you something?

u my friend r quite mistaken. i am an orthodox  jew, im the first to admit it and very proud of it. what ur saying now is not only rediculous but insulting towards the christians and catholics alike. hitler, may his name be erased, was a psycopath. he was a monster who was out of mind and barely human. his beliefs and morals (or lack there of) had nothing to do with christianity. his focus was about killing the jew en route to creating the perfect nation. learn some history.

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

hi. the answer is... because a convert to another religion, i.e. christianity, has deliberately and specifically rejected the the jewish religion and people, by actively leaving it and joining another, whereas most "jewish" atheists have not. to us, a "jewish" christian (including "messianic jews") is a plain-old christian like any other, but a "jewish" atheist is just a non-practicing jew. \n\nalso, there ARE many christians, even who are not at all jewish under jewish law and never have been, who are eligible to go to israel under the law of return. the law of return says that not only jews, but non-jewish children, grandchildren, in-laws, etc of jews can immigrate as well. there are two main reasons - the first is to  keep families from being broken, and the second is to protect non-jews who are at risk of being persecuted for their jewish background/heritage safe as well.\n\nhowever, israel rejects applications from actual jewish people who convert to another religion to immigrate under the law of return. to them there is a difference between an innocent christian child getting sent to a death camp in nazi germany because his grandfather was a jew, and a fully jewish person who, aware that converting to another religion will make him forfeit his claim to jewish peoplehood, does it anyway. converts out of judaism have to immigrate to israel the regular way, by moving in, spending a couple years there, and then applying for citizenship. in the unlikely scenario, though, where some new fascist regime persecuting jews surfaced and converts out of judaism were being persecuted as jews, israel would let them in. but that scenario is pretty unlikely. in this day and age, most of the jews have already fled the countries that persecute jews and are now already in israel.

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.

Well, just to help you a little here, Hitler did not believe in Jesus.  He felt Christianity was weak and didn't want his power being challenged by religious authorities.  (If the basis of your question is, "Is it alright to kill those who don't agree with you?" I hope you know the answer already.) \n\nHitler wanted to exterminate every Jew on earth, not change their minds.  His reasons for killing Jews (which is part of what makes the Holocaust so remarkable) had nothing to do with their beliefs.  It was all about their birth, and many secular and converted Jews were murdered alongside their orthodox counterparts.\n\nYou should really read up more on the holocaust.  It is possibly the worst thing in human history, and the only thing we can do to prevent something similar is to know how it happened the first time.\n\nP.S.- Here's the really tough question you might want to ponder; After ordering the murder of twelve million innocents and waging a wart to conquer the earth, if Hitler had recanted on his death bed, would G-d have forgiven him.

I don't like that former desert demon who became the god of the Old Testament either.\nIf they had had any sense the Christians would have discarded it along with circumcision and other silly commandments, but since nearly all their teachings go back to Saul/Paul of Tarsus they didn't.\n\nI would not mind, but their insistence that everybody should live their lives according to THeir rules makes it hard to ignore, especially if you have to live among them.\n\nAll the present-day atrocities committed by Israel are actually condoned in their holy book, but if a member of their gouvernment tells us that they are "one of us" I'm certain that his are not values I would like to share, even though so many US Christians, including the president, agree with him. \n\nTo live today by an early iron-age text is just not on, and I think people who expect you to are insane, especially if they don't really practice it themselves. Nevertheless, I'm certain some of them would like to, they are as full of hatred as their god.

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.

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.

Well, because Jesus isn't God himself.  Though that certainly is a very hard question, one that many have pondered over.  This was awful, why weren't more saved?  And it wasn't just Jews that died in the concentration camps, it was also people who were disabled or coloured, or basically not liked that weren't "aryan".  The Jews are the "chosen ones" and Jesus himself was a Jew.  So the only thing I can say would be there must have been some awfully huge cosmic lesson needed to mankind for God to not intervene sooner.  Or maybe he did, but just in smaller ways.

Someone give this bigot a brain-ectomy, please.  \n\n*sighs*  They're not even remotely evil and theres no solid evidence that the Jews had Christ killed (who was a Jew, btw).  Even if a group of Jews did, how do you hold the entire religion responsible?

I am incredibly pleased that there is a school somewhere in the world that teaches its students about the reality of the holocaust, and that only 1in3 people killed during it were Jewish.\nHitler was a Roman Catholic, and his Nazi Germany was endorsed by the Papacy, and as a result the Nazis persecuted anyone whom the RC church was against. The nazis not only rounded up Jews, but also Slavs, Gypsies, Communists, the Disabled and Gay people for their concentration camps. All these people were seen as unsavioury by the church, and as unbeneficial to the German society. During 1943, the Nazis started killing people in the concentration camps, for several reasons, one simple one being that too many people meant too many guards, who could be fighting on the frontline. The first people to be butchered in these camps were Russian prisoners of war, then Slavs. Finally, Jews, Gays and disabled people were also slaughtered. Approx 1/2 a million gay people were killed in the Death Camps.

The goal of the inquisition was to identify Jews living outwardly as Christians and kill them!  Is this the religion of love or the religion of hate?

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.

Cause he pissed off to many jews.\n\nWhy wouldn't Jesus have just allowed himself to be sacrificed by King Harod when his minions were making their rounds?

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.
