Why is it that in the past everyone has tried to wipe out the Jewish community? What have they done or do??

Question

ok, from a religion standpoint, yea jews killed jesus. but why kill thousands for what happened so many years ago. Why the wars and mass killing of the past. crusades included..

Answer 1

Baseless hatred.

As shown above Christians hate Jews and blame all Jews alive today for being "Christ killers". It's not like I was even alive back then, so how can you blame me? Crucifixion isn't even a Jewish method of killing - rather it was a Roman method. Therefore I propose that we find everyone who labels themselves as "Roman" and start calling them "Christ Killers" to their face.
How will the "Roman Catholics" react to this?

From a purely religious standpoint, if we were to assume that it is correct that the Jewish leaders saying "let his blood be upon us and upon our children" did literally have the power to extend to all generations (rather to just the third and fourth generation as implied in the 10 commandments), then this presents an interesting issue.

Isn't it generally taught that only those washed by the blood get into heaven? Well if indeed all generations of Jews are covered by the blood of Jesus upon them by the word of the leaders of 2000 years ago, then wouldn't that mean that all generations of Jews are then saved? And if Christians like the previous person don't have the blood upon them, then they aren't saved.

So, if you want to call me a "Christ Killer" I suppose you can "go for it", but that would just mean that it was my sins that killed him and not yours, so therefore I am saved and you aren't.

Christians often taught "replacement theology" - that the Jews, Judah and Israel, are all done away with and replaced by the Church. So their reaction to the Jews now followed a 3 step process in how the dealt with the Jewish Community:

1) You have no right to live among us as Jews. Jews were forced to convert to Christianity, forced to stop following the commands of the Bible, etc.

2) You have no right to live among us. Jews who wouldn't stop living as Jews were forced out of various countries by the Christians.

3) You have no right to live. Jews were murdered by the thousands by the Christians. Every Easter (which comes from the egg loving goddess of fertility "Ishtar") Christians would riot and murder Jews. In the Middle Ages during the time of the Crusades, there was a famous event that occured. Men on their "Crusade for Christ" (hmm, isn't that still the name of a Christian organization?) marched into Wurms, rounded up the Jewish population in their synagogue, blocked all the exits and burned the synagogue down ontop of them. All the while the Christians outside sang "Christ We Adore Thee". This was perhaps the only "Christian Witness" that these Jews ever had. Yet Christian theology would state that these Jews all went to hell for their unbelief.

The idea of any country becoming a "Christian nation" scares me. That sort of thing has ALWAYS led to Jews being killed.

Answer 2

The Jews are people just like the rest of us. Jesus asked that we love them. We need not think further on this issue. The question you ask is difficult to sum up because so much has happened.

In 1948 the UN set up an impossible situation. They gave Palestine to the Jewish people as a homeland.

The only problem was Palestine was already the homeland for the people who called themselves Palestinians. Imagine how you would feel if someone gave your home to someone else. What if they threw you and your families out into the street and took your homes by force. Then they rounded you up and put you into selected areas that resembled the concentration camps of WW2 in many ways. How would this make you feel?

What if they restricted your ability to work and feed your family? Made it difficult or impossible for you to do something as simple as take a sick relative to the doctor or hospital. What if someone you cared deeply for like your wife, child or mother or father died waiting at a checkpoint while Israeli solders joked and stood around smoking cigarettes as if your loved one was just an animal. Think about these things, because this is what life is like for the average Palestinian every day.

I’m not asking you to take sides because there is enough blame on both sides to make a compelling case.
These are just simple facts of life for the Palestinian people. These types of actions are the source of the kind of hate that we see in the Middle East. We all need to pay attention to this and realize that we must treat others with respect and dignity. If we don’t the same fate will befall us.

Love and blessings.

Answer 3

In quite a lot all communities, Jews welcome converts with open palms. considering I have switched over, I have felt respected and loved by skill of my community. that is called easily not on to discuss that someone is a convert - once you replace, you're as Jewish as everyone else. the purely exception, to the finest of my expertise and experience, is an extremely few extreme Chassidic communities. till you're planning to become in touch with that a techniques end of Judaism, you are able to haven't any difficulty. you in all likelihood already recognize that on your conversion to be effortless by skill of all branches of Judaism, it may should be an Orthodox conversion, yet when you're more suitable interested in Reform or Reconstructionist or inspite of, bypass for it - once you fall in love with an Orthodox Jewish guy, you need to always submit to that more suitable conversion and it does not take a lot in case you would already executed a extreme Reform conversion (interior the united kingdom, that is diverse from the U. S., so i don't recognize all the element of ways diverse Reform and Orthodox may be; interior the united kingdom, that is somewhat not so quite diverse somewhat, even inspite of the actuality that Orthodox Jews do see some large modifications). Oh, and in case you favor to remodel, you'll discover many people on right here who may be more suitable than chuffed to assist you and answer any questions you've - i recognize the completed community right here (Orthodox, Chassidic, Reform, Reconstructionist) may welcome you. EDIT: i'd be incorrect about there being some small extreme communities who do not settle for converts. it really is rumour and that i don't have a source. EDIT 2: thanks, Michelle - now I understand.

Answer 4

The Jews have not done anything wrong they are only hated because they are God's chosen people. Lucifer (the devil) hates anything that God loves and he'll do anything to turn people against God.
Look it's like this, life has been really tough on you, you lost your house, family and so forth, that's an example, so the devil comes to you and tells you life has no meaning, it's useless and so forth and you start listening and believing him then what happens is that you move away from God and move closer to Lucifer.
The devil is using human beings to be against each other and against god because it pleases him.

What have the Jews done? Nothing.

Answer 5

actually, jewish peole were very weak.they were thin & not strong as aryans.hitler believed in pure blood i.e. of the germans.after the 1st world was ,which germany (triple alliance) had lost,germany was humiliated & was punished very hard.so hitler wanted to take revenge.so he thought that the future generation of germany should be strong.so if jews were there ,then their desendents would have been weak & the army needs could not have been met to take the revenge.therefore, hitler tried to end the jews which he considered was not the pure blood.he could have troubled indian but he new that many indian are the desendents of aryans which was considered to be pure blood.

Answer 6

If there were no Jews, the horrendous guilt inducing parts of WWII would never have happened. If there were no Jews there would be no Mideast Crisis. It's a cop out. People use it to blame someone for these problems and let themselves off the hook.
