Why do people hate Israel?

Question

Can someone brief me, I've had my head in the sand about this, just never bothered to register it on the news until now ......

Answer 1

well, it's a long story, but basically.

Hitler tries to kill all jews

ww2 end - hooray allies victory

allies give jews a homeland - unfortunately there's already someone living there, but they just ask them to budge up a bit and share.

Arabs don't like this

Jews migrate back and forth to USA and gain much power

Arabs get even angrier, believe US is contolled by Jews.

Arabs start attcking Jews.

Jews shoot back

Jews invade large parts of Arabia

US invades large part of arabia

Arabs get real mad

That about brings us to today

Answer 2

Some people have their pet hates. For some it must just be a certain nation. And others think, now they're wrong, but they think that jews control much of TV and that TV is male hating. They think that this propoganda is what made it possible for male-haters/misandrists to steal millions of men's darling children. The others have a whole load of ideas, most centre around money come to think of it.

Answer 3

That's like asking why do the Irish hate the English... there isn't just one reason... and it'd take you about a decade to explain in proper detail, and not just some sh!tty answer that makes no sense, like "Because" or "They just do" or "It's because they did this (insert 1 sole incident here and make it sound like this is the reason, and the only reason why people hate them)".

Answer 4

WHy would you think people hate Israel?.....I dont think people hate any Country just some of the politics of certain countries..Hate is a strong word, maybe dislike would be a better choice...Wouldnt it be nice if we all liked each other....

Answer 5

Well i think the reason christians don't like them is about that old tale of Jesus.That traitor guy.

But muslims believe that Jesus is still alive. So the only reason for them is maybe...They came to that land,took that from its owners,and begin to kill after they have enough power.

Answer 6

Do not get me wrong I am not racist. and I actually have a few good jewish friends. I am even a fan of judaic culture. But I dislike Iraeli (and so do many of my jewish friends) because they are basically the most obnoxious people I have met. 9/10 Israeli believe that the world revolves around them; and I have never heard one use the word please. Good manners are not listed in their vocabulary. And respect towards others and their equipment is inexistant.
In my previous career I had contact with them on a daily basis;
And my dislike has only grown ever since.

Answer 7

This is a christian article I found it might help:

An Ancient Hatred


The conflict in the Middle East can, in some ways, be viewed as a long-standing family feud between the Jews and the Arabs.

Although the Jews and most of the Arabs come from the same family line, their animosity toward each other stems from a deeply rooted ancestral hatred that began nearly 4,000 years ago with Jacob and Esau, Isaac's sons.

The story begins when Esau sold his birthright to Jacob, who later stole Esau's blessing from his father (Gen. 25:30-34; 27:35-38). As a result, Esau was filled with jealousy and plotted to kill Jacob.

Their mother, Rebekah, overheard Esau's plan and warned Jacob. He quickly fled his father's house in fear of his life (Gen. 27:41-44). Several years later Jacob and Esau met again, and although they parted somewhat peaceably, Jacob initially feared his brother's reception because of their hostile past (Gen. 32,33).

The animosity between the brothers was passed down through their descendants. The rage continued through the years, as bloody battles were fought between Israel and the descendants of Esau (the Edomites and Amalekites).

Even King Herod, who commanded that all male babies in Bethlehem be killed in an attempt to destroy Jesus, was a descendant of Esau.

The hostility between these two groups of people is evident in the unrest that marks their existence to this day. Ezekiel 35:3-5 in The Amplified Bible exposes God's feelings about the conflict:
Thus says the Lord God: Behold, O Mount Seir, I am against you.... Because you [of Esau] have had a perpetual enmity [for Jacob] and you gave over the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, when they were suffering their final punishment [the Babylonian conquest].
Mount Sei—the area known as Edom—was home to Esau and his descendants. The tribes of this region, along with those of Moab and Ammon, would later confront the nation of Israel with the threat of war as they traveled through the wilderness under Moses' leadership.

Tension was imminent when the King of Edom and his army challenged Moses' and the Israelites passage through their region. Numbers 20:14-21 says:
Thus says your brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us.... Let us pass, I pray thee, through your country....

Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.... And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand. Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
Clearly, there is no "quick-fix" solution to a feud that has such deeply rooted origins. The hostility is fueled by the anti-Semitism that continues to be taught to children in many Arab nations.

God has pronounced judgment on those who oppose Israel. He says that those who malign the Jews offend Him and will be devoured (Ez. 35:3-5; Jer. 2:3).

This includes those who murder Jews, covet their land, speak against them and exalt their ideas about Israel over what God has already stated in His Word (Ez. 35:5, 10-13). We are advised to not even offend the Jews (1 Cor. 10:32), but instead fulfill our biblical mandate to support them.

As believers, we should continue to stand with Israel in prayer and political backing so that we can remain under God's protective covering.
