I have been baffled all my life as to why Jews are hated so much. Can anyone shed light on this for me?

Answer 1

Old Testament Jews are just that. They live the old Testament Teachings. They are not believer's that accept the TRUTH that Jesus is THE CHRIST, THE MESSIAH. Old Testament Jews are waitng for the Messiah's FIRST coming. What Jews think is the FIRST coming, is actually the 2nd coming. The Rapture.

New Testament Jews, believe this. {Jews WERE the chosen people, in the Old Testament. In the Old testament, Jews were the only people that could go to heaven. IT'S THE "NEW TESTAMENT JEWS" THAT ARE THE CHOSEN PEOPLE NOW. JESUS CAME TO FULFILL THE LAW OF MOSES. THE CHRISTIAN AGE STARTED ACTS.CH.2:38 THE DAY OF PENTACOST. "THE HOLY SPIRIT FELL UPON THEM". JESUS SAID: I WILL SEND "THE HELPER".

TODAY, ISRAEL IS THE "CHOSEN LAND", ONLY "SPIRITUAL JEWS" CAN INHERIT THE NEW KINGDOM} IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
JESUS CHRIST'S FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW OF MOSES, BECAME EFFECTIVE AT ACTS.CH.2 NOW. "ALL PEOPLE" OF EVERY RACE, CAN GO T0O HEAVEN BECAUSE WE ARE ALL "SPIRITUAL JEWS THROUGH CHRIST".
ONLY "SPIRITUAL JEWS" WILL GO TO HEAVEN. THATS "ANYONE" WHO ACCEPTS JESUS CHRIST AS THEY'RE SAVIOR.


Christians are the only New Testament Jews. (Spirtual Jews) through Christ. Gal. ch.3:27-29


This is why...there is so much hatred and fighting going on the the world.

There is a WAR going on. It's NOT a war of man vs man. It's God Jehovah vs Satan.

ISLAMIC RELIGION IS, OLD TESTAMENT DOCTRINE. Old Testament teachings today, are NO longer in effect.

It it a "SPIRITUAL" war. God wins in the end. The Christian souldiers who fight this are God's Army. Christians will inherit God's New Kingdom. period.

A person is a soldier of God Jehova and is in His army, or he isnt.

meaning, either your "saved", thriugh Jesus Christ or you not.


Have a great week.

Answer 2

Brightlikestarsx, we Jews became bankers because the Catholic church considered it a sin to charge ANY interest at all during the middle ages, so the only people in Europe that could do anything like banking were the Jews. And people hate owing money to other people. And if they're a minority, all the better.

Answer 3

After Christianity really took a hold in Europe, it started moving into all parts of daily life. In the middle ages the Jews in the Western Diaspora were de facto marginalized. They were treated under the law as resident foreigners.
Jews were forbidden to own land, to take up most professions, they had to live in ghettos, were forbidden to marry gentiles unless they converted and much, much more.
Given the very narrow strictures for survival, they could mainly work as artisans (but they could not join guilds), traders, or money lenders. The bible forbids Christians lending money for interest. Since Jews were, for obvious reasons, not bound by this, they survived by basically starting and keeping up banking.
Some (if few) got very wealthy, the local lords relying on them to supply them with money for warfare and whatnot.
Interest rates had to be high because of the high default rates (often enough a deeply indepted lord might decide to stage his own little pogrom).
Also, it was very popular among the aristocracy that relied on the Jewish bankers to supply them with loans to basically blame the Jews for whatever awful things they did with the money. It was a popular pasttime to blame the Jews for a war or for major ruinous spending sprees of the ruler, did they not finance it? And anyway, it was a lot easier to kill the Jews in a ghetto than to rise against the rulers.
Centuries of this (forcing Jews into money lending and then blaming them for anything that was done wrong) left its mark on the populations psyche - it's the Jews fault.
As traders they came in close contact with the population, but they were often despised. After all, they wanted money for their goods, and as anyone knows, merchants are always out to take advantage of you, don't they?
You can actually still hear remarks blaming Jews for problems for example in Polish politics - they blame the Jews for anything from inflation to unempolyment, never mind that there are very few of them.

Answer 4

None of the Islamic countries recognise the State of Israel as a country. I live in an Arab country in the Gulf and anyone carrying a passport with an entry/exit stamp from Israel will be denied entry. Simply put until the Palestinians don't get their rights, which I don't see happening since a few decades and maye be a few decades more seeing the violence, they will not recognise Israel. It will sound strange that the World maps and atlas's sold in the Gulf aren't allowed to have the map of Israel on it. I don't know whether this is hate or simply stupid.

Answer 5

I think Jews are hated by Christians because some blame them for the death of Jesus. Jews are hated by Muslims and vice versa because both religions claim ownership to the land in Israel.

I have a question: what does the bible state about the story of Isaac and Ishmael?

Answer 6

Well, from what I heard, and this has to do with the 'Jews are Greedy' thing, that back when most of the world went to trade and barter, the Jewish stayed with cash money. That's why people think that they are greedy. I can't say that I know this to be a fact, but if it is true it sounds reasonable to me that closed minded people would think like that.

But I think that people just need someone to hate and some people have just chosen Jewish over, lets say black or Hispanic. (Yes i know that Jewish isn't a nationality, my father is Jewish).

Answer 7

In every generation Jews are attacked, hated, persecuted. What changes is the "reason" the world feels justified in their attacks on Jews.

In the past it was that "Jews killed Jesus" then that "Jews are not human". Today the popular excuse is that "Jews stole Palestine."

Or try the book by Dennis Prager also called "Why the Jews"

Answer 8

Jewish people are essentially people who do not acknowledged Jesus as the savior of man. The split between Judaism and Christianity came after Jesus' death. That's why Christians are named after Christ, they believe he was the messiah. Jews are still waiting for the messiah to come. I think that has something to do with it, looking at how attached Christians are to Jesus. Also, Jews used to be powerful...and in that time they concurred some groups of people (just as every all powerful people do) and, as current events prove, cultural groups keep grudges for a looong time.

Answer 9

there are a couple of historical reasons:

1. history vis a vis the passion play -- Jesus supposedly "killed" jesus and for that (and apparent Christian salvation) we are hated(?)

2. Jews were limited in their jobs often to tasks which inspired hatred (like tax collector or money lender). Jews did well at these jobs even though they were designed to hurt Jews. So people hated Jews.

3. Jews are often successful despite being stepped on. So people are angry at our success and jealous.

4. Jews haven't given in to the dominant theology for thousands of years. We annoy people by being proud of being who we are.

Answer 10

I suppose it depends on where you live and how much racism still exists in your area.
My thoery is that anyone that hates any type of race or culture just hates themself. They turn thier own self hatred toward others to help themselves feel better. Total scum!
Few jews, it started with slavery in Egypt, continued threw the persicution of Christ now to just plain ignorance.
Unfortunately that is the world is.
