what do (some) people have against jewish people?

Question

i have looked all around yahoo! answers and some people really seem to have sumthing against them. i just want to know why.

Answer 1

People have hated Jews forever. The reason is because historically, Jews are very good at things like building education. This is why you see the vast majority of jewish scholars turn out to be lawyers or doctors or scientists. The fact is that Jews excell in all that they incorporate themselves into. Gentiles see this also, but take it as a threat to themselves, so they discriminate

Answer 2

Usually ignorance. Most people think that being Jewish is a race...not a religion. In that case lots of people could hate Catholics.. or Jehovah's Witnesses. I think Hitler was able to persuade people that Jewish people were taking all the good jobs.. Jewish people over the centuries have have lots of ambition to have a good life.. which means financial success. People with less money will make that an issue. I don't care what religion or color people are.. I look into a person's soul and decide from there.

Answer 3

Oi... (That's to those that actually showed antisemitic traits.)

If you want to be technical, the Romans killed Jesus. Did the Jews have a part in the accusations, etc.? Yes. But the Romans carried out the execution of Jesus.

And no one should be throwing stones. Every single religion has had a history of violence, where they have killed people of another faith in order to expand their own religion.

Most of all, I think it is ignorance. I think people have no real reason for hating Jewish people, other than they are ignorant, spiteful people who use past philosophies in a modern world. Too many people rely on false stereotypes in their judgments of people.

It sickens me.

ETA: In the discussion about "the chosen ones" I have to wonder... what religion really doesn't think they are correct? (Slightly different, I know, but... something to think about.) Any while most religions preach not to judge others, most people do judge based upon their religious beliefs.

Answer 4

Because some one some where (probably a psychotic street preacher) that they were evil and bad and all sorts of stuff. The eairly Christian chruch wanted Christians to believe that the Jews and only the Jews were to blame for Jesus' crusifixtion. That is the root of it I think, but they may be more missguided beliefs out there that I do not know about. Me personally I do not any problem with them, but I have met a lot of people who do, and that is sad. There really nice people.

Answer 5

I have nothing against jewish people, I have nothing against nobody. I answered a question today about " is blacks still angry about slavery " why can't we all just forget about this race and what religion we belong to and get along as people. If we could do that the world would be a better place.

Answer 6

Go back and read acropulsion's answer. He basically only hates Jews who are Jewish. And from his other posts it looks like he hates Jews who are Americans since he hates Americans too. He even goes so far as to imply that the Jews brought the Holocaust on themselves. Basically it's because people like him spread hate. The hatred from the Nazi's and the hatred from Muslim's have the same roots.

Answer 7

There was a guy I knew who went on this 30 minute rant on how Jewish people controlled all the money, practically controlled the world, the way he was talking about it. I couldn't believe my ears. Up to that point I had thought he was a reasonably intelligent person.

Jewish people are people, like any other people.

Answer 8

I have no idea. I have met some amazing Jewish people! (He was also a follower of Kabbalah, and I know that not all Jewish people are....) I was surprised when he told me that he recieves a lot of negative reactions from others about his religion, since he wears his yamaca (sp?) everywhere. I never thought that Jews would be so discriminated against!

Answer 9

Personally, I have nothing against Jewish people. I'm just getting tired of having them paraded around as "the chosen people", when I know that is no longer true (if it ever was).
I am an American, and I think we have enough problems of our own. I don't see any Jewish armies helping us in our wars....

Answer 10

What do you mean "People?"

No one hates Jews, "people" hate Zionism. Most Jews hate Zionism as they know it isn't correct and they also know that it's a shameless system of racism and ethnocentrism.

Palestinians are displeased with Zionists because in 1948, A Million foreigners claiming to be Jewish came to their country, kicked them out, stuck a flag in their soil, and called it ISRAEL.

The Nazis were displeased with Zionists because Zionists usually hired Zionists because most Zionists as someone described, see themselves as the "chosen people" and thus are racist, and ethnocentric. This sense of arrogance that came from Zionists

Why do "others" hate Zionists. Because of the term, "Gentile." The word Gentile means anyone who isn't Jewish, its coined mostly by Zionists, and not much by non-Zionist Jews.

What I'm trying to say is:

"People" don't hate Jews, they FRICKING hate the racist, xenophobic, paranoid, ethnocentric ideology of Zionism! Guess what, Israelis, the children of Zionism, don't support it, AMERICANS and BRITS do!

That's Why.
