Look in the Christian Bible. Anti-Semitism rests squarly on the laps of Christians.
Origen: “Their rejection of Jesus has resulted in their present calamity and exile. We say with confidence that they will never be restored to their former condition. For they have committed a crime of the most unhallowed kind, in conspiring against the saviour.”
St. Gregory: “ Jews are slayers of the Lord, murderers of the prophets, enemies of God, haters of God, adversaries of grace, enemies of their fathers’ faith, advocates of the devil, brood of vipers, slanderers, scoffers, men of darkened minds, leaven of the Pharisees, congregation of demons, sinners, wicked men, stoners and haters of goodness.”
St. Jerome: “....serpents, haters of all men, their image is Judas ... their psalms and prayers are the braying of donkeys..”
St. John Chrysostom: “I know that many people hold a high regard for the Jews and consider their way of life worthy of respect at the present time... This is why I am hurrying to pull up this fatal notion by the roots ... A place where a whore stands on display is a whorehouse. What is more, the synagogue is not only a whorehouse and a theater; it is also a den of thieves and a haunt of wild animals ... not the cave of a wild animal merely, but of an unclean wild animal ... When animals are unfit for work, they are marked for slaughter, and this is the very thing which the Jews have experienced. By making themselves unfit for work, they have become ready for slaughter. This is why Christ said: “ask for my enemies, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them and slay them before me’ (Luke 19.27).”
St. Augustine: “Judaism is a corruption. Indeed Judas is the image of the Jewish people. Their understanding of the Scriptures is carnal. They bear the guilt for the death of the saviour, for through their fathers they have killed the Christ.”
St. Thomas Aquinas: “It would be licit to hold Jews, because of the crimes, in perpetual servitude, and therefore the princes may regard the possessions of Jews as belonging to the State.”
The teachings of Martin Luther:
“Know, 0 adored Christ, and make no mistake, that aside from the Devil, you have no enemy more venomous, more desperate, more bitter, than a true Jew who truly seeks to be a Jew... a Jew, a Jewish heart, are hard as wood, as stone, as iron, as the Devil himself. In short, they are children of the Devil, condemned to the flames of hell.”
“O Lord, I am too feeble to mock such devils. I would do so, but they are much stronger than I in raillery, and they have a God who is a past master in this art; He is called the devil and the wicked spirit.. They have transformed God into the devil, or rather into a servant of the Devil, accomplishing all the evil the Devil desires, corrupting unhappy souls , and raging against himself: in short, the Jews are worse than the devils.”
“What then shall we Christians do with this damned, rejected race of Jews? First, their synagogues should be set on fire, and whatever does not burn up should be covered or spread over with dirt so that no one may ever be able to see a cinder or stone of it. And this ought to be done for the honour of God and of Christianity, in order that God may see that we are true Christians. Secondly, their homes should be likewise broken down and destroyed. Thirdly, they should be deprived of their prayerbooks and talmuds in which such idolatry, lies, cursing and blasphemy are taught. Fourthly, their rabbis must be forbidden under threats of death to teach anymore.”
“Now whoever wishes to accept venomous serpents, desperate enemies of the lord, and to honor them, to let himself be robbed, pillaged, corrupted and cursed by them, need only turn to the Jews. If this is not enough for him, he can do more: crawl up into their...... and worship the sanctuary, so as to glorify himself afterwards for having been merciful, for having fortified the Devil and his children, in order to blaspheme our beloved lord and the precious blood that has redeemed us. He will then be a perfect Christian, filled with works of mercy, for which Christ will reward him on the-day of judgment with the eternal fire of hell (where he will roast together with the Jews).”
“In truth, the Jews, being foreigners, should possess nothing, and what they do possess should be ours.”
“...Cursed goy that I am, I cannot understand how they manage to be so skillful, unless I think that when Judas Iscariot hanged himself, his guts burst and emptied. Perhaps the Jews sent their servants with plates of silver and pots of gold to gather up Judas’ piss with the other treasures, and then they ate and drank his offal, and thereby acquired eyes so piercing that they discover in the scriptures commentaries that neither Matthew nor Isaiah himself found there, not to mention the rest of us cursed goyim..”
“If I find a Jew to baptize, I shall lead him to the Elbe bridge, hang a stone around his neck, and push him into the water, baptizing him with the name of Avraham!.. I cannot convert the Jews. Our lord Christ did not succeed in doing so; but I can close their mouths so that there will be nothing for them to do but to lie upon the ground.”
“I hope I shall never be so stupid as to be circumcised; I would rather cut off the left breast of my Catherine and of all women.”
“If we are to remain unsullied by the blasphemy of the Jews and not wish to take part in it, we must be separated from them and they must be driven out of their country.”

I've always thought it had something to do with Jealousy over the fact that their little tribal religion blossomed into such a dominant force in the world. I mean, they are the chosen ones - the entire destiny of mankind revolves around them. Just to say that a certain race is God's chosen people would really erk other races, wouldn't it? I mean, they were a tiny population in the desert, for god's sake. Why were they chosen? Are they better'n us?
The Muslim's hate them because Mohammed hated them. The Koran is peppered with numerous anti-jew statements. I think Muslims are more or less commanded to hate the Jews.
And they did kill the jeeeesus!

People hate Jews because they believe differently and are also blamed for the death of the percieved Messiah Jesus (the Romans Killed Jesus, and he didn't meet the necessary criteria to be the Messiah). The big issue is that's the lot the Jews were choosen for...they're paying pentance on an ongoing basis for the Sins of humanity...that is why Jesus is a false Messiah and the Jews are the "Chosen People". They were chosen to live their lives in strife and suffering the hatred of the world. So far as the Muslim and Jew go...they peacefully co-existed in the deserts of the Middle East for years...it's only in recent History when the numbers were bumped up because of WWII that there have been problems/issues. PEACE!

I don't think that people hate Jewish people - the question I ask all the time is why do so many people hate Americans? I personally have a way bigger problem with the behavior of people in Muslim countries than with the Jews.

Well I think that like you said many people hate jewish people, but not only jewish, but christians, catholics, and alot of other religions. i think that the reason is because they have not came to the fountain of LOVE that is in the only and the REAL GOD. That's why everything is like that, we have war, man getting married with man, kids crying because they don't have a plate of food. They forget about God, and they create their own religion, and they think that religion is the one who saves, but not the only one who saves is JESUS CHRIST. How the world wants to be better if they don't ask God for an answer?
2 Chronics 7:14 that's the answer

i resent the fact that you bring muslims in the mix here as being the number one culprit on this matter. first of all the haloucaust was carried out by CHRISTIAN nazis. the spanish inquosition was done by catholics in which took thousands of jewish lives, the time of the crusades where millions of muslims and jews alike were slaughtered was done by chrisitians. do some more research. as the first guy said i would suggest you look up usuary. that is a big one on why many people hate jews not only muslims and chrisitians. look it up. now if you want to talk about muslims bombing in israel. you see according to the torah as well as the bible jews were exiled from israel because they worshipped the ram. look it up. according to the torah they are not allowed to regain control of israel until the comming of their promised messiah. which obviously did not happen in 1948. islam was not even in the picture at the time of being exiled so we can not be blamed for that. now when we look at how israel was taken from the palestinians/arabs what have you they did it in illegal means with the help of the british and the americans, it is also against their own book. the zionist used the haloucaust as an excuse to reinhabit israel which is surpirising because it should have been europe giving jews their land considering it was chrisitans who killed them in mass numbers not the muslims. so Some history lesson to some of you who tend to play forgetful, the Israelis are aliens who systematically emigrated from all around the world to Palestine and forced out the aboriginal inhabitants of colonial Palestine into diaspora. Do some reading about treaties and promises made by the allies to the Zionist Jews of Europe after fighting on their side in WWII.
Supporting Israel is the "smart" decision taken by most American politicians to secure their place and career in the Senate or house of reps. That's evident when AIPAC is called on in as "experts" to testify about troubles in Palestine and to further push its own Zionist agenda. It doesn't matter if it were about the Democrats or Republicans, they always come together about blindly supporting Israel lest they lose big money and power connections. Whoever dare saying the facts as they are will be met by loads of blackmailing and everyone will cry: Antisemitism; despite the irrevelence.
Fighting back the oppression and daily humiliation and apartheid conducted by the purist Jewish state against Palestians is legal and legitimate resistance even if all the world cried TERRORISM to appease the Zionist American empire. so with all this hipocraisy from the jewish and americans alike do not ask why many people hate jewish. do not ask why people blow themselves up against people who carry nuclear bombs and kill 7.7 people with every 1 israeli killed. the israelis have even given palestinian children aids tainted blood. the american people have no clue nor do they care about what horrid things these people have done to the arabs and automatically call muslims terrorists. if the muslims were such terrorists they would not have allowed the jews to come to their land when the chrisitans were brutally killing them. it is a smack in the face what the israelis have done.

God has made many promises to the Jewish people, and there are still a number of prophesies that have not yet been fulfilled.
Satan want to stop God's plans, one of them is His promises to Israel. He can not stop God, so he is trying to stop Israel, by killing them so that there will be no one left for God to keep His word with (and thus breaking His promise, and making God a lier).

Some people hate jews because it is taught in their religion. You would be surprised what you would think if you were brought up your whole life believing something.

i don't hate anyone because of their religion. i think people need to take the time and learn about a specific culture/religion before they start stereotyping.
