As a point, it was so long ago that some of the reason may be lost, misinterpreted or otherwise, but apparently for the reason all the others have said.\n\n...Minus the actually being true, yadayada parts. People get too touchy when anything bad can be related to their religion.

The biggest problem in bad marriages is usually the lack of conversation.\n\nWhen people can use a bible, and start condemning everything outside their window, then at least they will never have lack of conversation.

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.

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.

Israel has its modern history in becoming a state in 1948, the same year the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered.  Ever since that time, people have been trying to eradicate the country and the people, much like Hitler's efforts during WW II.  Historically, it is a great shame for the human race that very few people cared a whit about the Jews, barring Poland and Russia on some occasions, until the effects of the holocaust were seen.  Today some even maintain it didn't happen.  Even Christians, so-called, have a bad record at mistreating the Jews.  Maybe we ought to blame that on Augustine, but following things blindly is one's own responsibility.  \nIsrael's early history goes back to the time of Abraham, some 2000 years before the birth of you-know-who. Abraham received the covenant for Israel from God. Israel was named after Jacob, son of Isaac.\nMoses came along around 500 years later and took them out of Egypt, but not from Ramses as the movie says, through 40 years in the desert and up to the Promised Land, although Moses himself was not allowed to go into it.  God left that to Joshua.  \nThe combined kingdom of Israel had three kings.  Its borders were the greatest under Solomon (970-931 BC), son of David (1010-970 BC), the Goliath slayer of fame. Oddly enough, the borders even under Solomon never seem to be as large as what God had promised them.\nAfter Solomon, Israel was split into north and south, the north being called Israel, because it had the majority of the tribes, or Samaria.  Samaria fell in 722 BC because it thought that God wasn't important any more.\nThe southern kingdom, aka, Judah, named by its largest tribe (Benjamin being much smaller) struggled until 586 BC where the Babylonians sacked Jerusalem and tore down the temple.  They thought they could get along without God also. Isaiah talks about that.\nJeremiah talks about what happened when the Babylonians came.  Daniel talks about the time in Babylon and what God will do in the end of times.  It's all very exciting, unless, of course you don't believe in God, in which case Israel really doesn't have any rights to the land at all.  Fortunately, God believes in them and, as you might guess, doesn't break covenants. The temple was rebuilt when they returned from Babylon, but many stayed and, over the centuries, moved elsewhere.\nIsrael was almost most effectively destroyed due to the culture wars after Alexander the Great. The people were encouraged to try new things and give up their old ways and embrace new learning and the Hellenistic way of life.  It reminds one a lot of today.  Judas Maccabeus was a big hero around 161 BC.  The temple was desecrated and Hanukah was born, so to speak.  It's a great story and you should read it in detail to understand God.  After all, without Hanukah, we wouldn't have Christmas, but then you-know-who is out of fashion, I guess.\nYou-know-who predicted the second temple being torn down by the Romans and so it was in 70 AD.  AD means "anno domini" which means "in the year of our Lord."  The Romans in their hatred of the Jews, renamed the land Palestine, which comes from Philistine, which is kind of funny because the Philistines didn't live there ever. That land should always be called Israel because that's what God wanted it to be.\nSome 600 years later the Dome of the Rock was built in Jerusalem.  You can read about the Crusades and the Mamluks elsewhere. The Ottoman Turks controlled the area from the early 1500's until WW I, after which the British got control and didn't know what to do with it.  They gave it back in 1948, mostly because the Jews were a thorn in their side. It was a good move, except to Islam, whose ancestor is also Abraham. The conflict between Ishmael, later to find fame in a Melville novel, and and Isaac as well as Esau and Jacob created the whole thing.  Isn't that amazing?You have to wonder if the Bible has any clues t

Please Gd, i hope people do NOT believe what they are told in Answers.yahoo.com! Most of what people here teach others about Jews and about Judaism is simply wrong, and derived from the prejudicial viewpoint of Christianity, and not even close to what Judaism really believes.

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?

It was the killing of people of Jewish decent by people of Christian decent.  People who were Jewish were killed if they did or did not subscribe to a particular relgious tradition, and most of the people who did participate in the Holocaust were Christian.  I am not saying that there were not heros of all religions at the time- but there were Christian who did kill.  \n\nThat said- Christianity does have a lot of blood on it's hands, as do many religions.  Crusades, Witch Burnings, and Genicides.  They are even happening today... a religion doesn't protect it's followers from turning evil.

jews no longer need to sacrifice animals or flour (as that could do as well) because the temple was destroyed and g-d commands us not to sacrifice outside the temple. OUR prayer and repentance is all that is needed now.
