Was there a point in history when Jews weren't being picked on or blamed for a conspiracy?

Yes, there is a time right before the Spanish Inquisition broke out with all the pogroms: The Golden Age of Spain...that lasted for some time, then ....

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.

This is one of the greatest theological questions of our time, especially for Jews.  \nMany people say that you can't blame G-d for the evil that men do.  \nSome say that the Holocaust was so evil that trying to find reason in it is just too much and we shouldn't try.\nI can't answer your question, but if you're actually interested in a variety of answers I strongly recommend that instead of yahoo answers you read the following book:\n Good and Evil After Auschwitz: Ethical Implications for Today, edited by Jack Bemporad, John T Pawlikowski, Joseph Sievers\nWhen bad things happen to good people by Harold Kushner is a down-to-earth book that tackles a difficult question.\nYou should also read Rav Soloveitchik (Joseph Dov Soloveitchik) and Eliezer Berkovits, as well as the Lubavitche Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson.\nI just googled this and got the following:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_theology\ntry that, too/

The denial of the Holocaust was actually invented by an American for a cause that is now dead, and the solution it was supposed to aid has been hijacked by people even more evil than those it was supposed to fight. It was invented, knowing that it was a lie, because an American veteran of the Second World War came out believing that the crimes of Stalin were far worse than the crimes of Hitler, and that the only political force that could stop Communism in the long run was National Socialism. He felt it had been a mistake to stand with Stalin against Hitler (no matter how evil Hitler was) because Democracy was too weak, decadent and self-destructive.\n\nHowever, he knew that the Holocaust was too horrible a crime for the American public ever to forgive, even if the majority of Americans still harbored ill feelings towards Jews in an impersonal way. The only way America would ever come around to National Socialism would be if it could eventually be convinced that the Holocaust never happened. This was going to be the work of generations, because there simply was too much evidence, and there were too many survivors.\n\nSince then, of course, the Iron Curtain has fallen and Communism is dead (even if corporate America is propping it up for slave labor in China). The purpose for the deceipt no longer exists. Even worse, the plan has been taken over by White Supremacists whose intentions are far more sinister to all concerned. \n\nWhat concerns me most, however, is the bad trend in study we are seeing in a completely unrelated field, that of Intelligent Design. One of the tenets of ID is that, because there is no competing document written at the time of the beginning of the universe than the Bible, there can be no other reliable witness than Adam. Soon, the last of the Holocaust survivors will be gone, and there will be no living voice to give direct testimony that this crime really did happen. We should be very careful what we wish for, because we may get it in a completely unintended manner.

so what if it did happen?\nso what if it didnt happen?\nwhatever had happened is "had happened" & we cant do anything abt it whether the jews were burned or it merely fake myth to corrupt Hitler's image

The only point of debate over the Holocaust is EXACTLY how many Jews were put to death and by what means.  The number ranges from 1.1 million to 7 million people killed by several methods.  No matter how you look at it, it was still a lot of people in a targetted cultural group.  The very existence of the Holocaust is not a debate among any real historians.\n\nDid it exist?  Most definitely.  Was it wrong?  Yep.  Did a lot of jews die for a racist cause?  Yep.  So give it up already.

we just forgot all about it... there was no conflict 100 years ago.. it is all about the lost rights of Palastinian ppl in havin thier own land and the lost right of all muslims to get thier Aksa Mousqe in Jersualem back.. and the west is protecting Israel with all means.. in order to not give the muslims thier rights... i condem any terrorist attack on any country... but we should ask our selves why these ppl are doing so.. i think it is thier dispair in getting our rights... it is not the well to kill.. or that islam tell us to kill.. we have to be objective and not shallow when we think about it.. the medie story telling is so so so misleading about the truth of the whole coflict.. if we can solve the Plastanian Islreali conflect then i thnk no confict will find place.... but the problem that they want to force ppl to accept what is on the real site... regarding the rights of muslims.. then the conflict happen..... you can tolerate in your personal right.. but you can not in your reliogous rights... and if you ask muslims to do so... then why dont Jews do it..

There most certainly are people who believe not only that the Holocaust never happened, but that all of the pictures, etc were faked. There's an entire generation of young adults in Germany who were taught absolutely nothing about the Holocaust & it was only after the Fall of the Berlin Wall that they began to realize they'd had a "glossed over" version of history. I don't care how much you dislike a subject in history, it happened & can't be changed & SHOULDN'T be re-written to make it palatable or p.c. If you don't learn from history, you are doomed to repeat the same mistakes.

No. This is a lie. Many people from many nations died in 9-11, including Israelis. This lie is told by people who want to blame 9-11 on the jews. This is wrong. Muslim extremists flew planes into the WTC. Don't get swayed by idiots.

I remember that disgraceful persecution of David Irving - an honest, unprejudiced, truth-telling man.  The Jews nailed him - he even had a Jewish judge deciding the case.\nRead his book about WW11 "Churchill's War" - it's straight reporting too.\nBy the way, the best book on the so-called Holocaust is "The Great Hoax", written about 20 years ago by a completely unprejudiced American who researched the subject for 10 years and wrote a very thick book - by far the most complete examination of the topic.  His conclusion was that a maximum of 150,000 Jews were killed in the whole of Europe during the Hitler time, in one way or another - certainly not by gassing.  Unfortunately I can't remember his name.  Can anyone remind me and say if this book can still be obtained : it's high time this whole thing was sorted out, don't you think?

Shhhhhh\nDon't expose the conspiracy.

Ken Livingstone tried peddling this garbage the other day, saying Britain was treating Muslims like Germany treated Jews in the 1930s. PLEASE! Did German Jews blow up buses? No. Have Jews in this country made an effort to integrate? Yes, and they have had an impact on this country far greater than their small number would suggest possible. Jews in Europe and Britain were not seeking to subvert western culture, while an increasing number of Muslims hope to see their religion rule us all. There was no reason to fear Jews, who owe their success to industry and energy. There is good reason to fear the increase of an aggressive, alien minority seeking to subvert our values and who don't respect civil laws.

This sounds vaguely like the conspiracy theories offered by American neo-nazis, except substitute "black" for "christian".\n\nNo, I don't buy it. There's:\n\na) Not enough correlation between Jews and CHristians\nb) Not enough correlation between Christians and military\nc) Many other reasons for the fighting.

You know, I never realized this until the last year or so, and see how old I am! A bit dense, I guess. I feel like some of this goes back to the U.S. being so Christian and religiously based. They probably feel like the Jews are still 'gods' chosen people, and want to protect and be in league with them.\nIn a way, I undestand wanting to protect helpless people. However, Israel is not a helpless country any longer, probably more powerful than a lot of other countries.

many people were killed in WWII including the Jews.\nbut the story of holocaust was made up by the Jews to pretend they were not safe in Europe and they needed their own homeland.that was the main pretext for invading and occupying palestine,a country that had no role in the war.but let it be said that there are some Jews who oppose occupation of Palestine.

If the US government answered all of the NUMEROUS conspiracy theories and the ravings of the theorists, nothing would change.  remember the whole Kennedy Assassination thing.  There is NO credible evidence that a conspiracy took place.  Some use that as evidence of the conspiracy.  \n\nSame here.  you will never get the crazies to go away.  I watched you video.  I question much of it.  We already have all agreed that many of the indicators were there and not responded to, everyone has already agreed that several people have dropped the ball and allowed a possibly preventable incident to occur.  That people were criminally negligent does not make a conspiracy.  That someone in a think tank refers to the catastrophy of Pearl Harbor  doesn't mean that they are intending to reenact it.  \n\nThis is much like the Da Vinci Code....   A great story built on random facts, conjecture and fantasy.\n\nIs our inablility to perceive the organiztion, hatred, psychoses, and determination of the scum that did this the sign of our complicity of our ineptitude.\n\n The truth is not always out there.  Sometimes it is what it seems to be, and other times.... we may never know.

Because at that time, Jews were the popular scapegoat for any problems, so it was natural to blame them. Even now, some fanatics out there still think that Jews control the entire world and are plotting to kill everyone. For these people, a war against Jews is good, and necessary. And Hitler used these people.
