Just because a group is targeted or discriminated against doesn't mean it's doing anything wrong.
Negroes were captured, brought to America, enslaved, and have suffered a 150 years of racial discrimination that they did not deserve.
Native Americans were deprived of their landed, herded like cattle, forced into concentration camps, and decimated. Only for being different than the invading Europeans.
Japanese Americans, citizens including some who had been citizens for generations, were herded into concentration camps by the US during WW-2, just because of fear and hatred against what other people from the same country had done.
Jews are a distinct minority, both ethnically and religiously. They refuse to surrender their religion, even during times like the Christian Inquisition. They refuse to abandon their culture, regardless of who is surrounding them. And many are professionally successful, which generally is a cause for jealousy and enmity.
That makes them perfect scape goats. Not more so than many other religions or ethnic groups throughout history. Just more consistently, because they keep surviving despite the odds.

You need to educate yourself more on when the Jewish religion started. It was the Israelites who traveled with Moses in escape from the Godless Egyptians and yes they were tested frequently. Like I said you have to research the roots of the Jewish religion not just the race. Use only a christian bible-based textbook and see exactly what happened between God and the people we now call Jews today and you might answer your own question and say you've read the bible at all.

it somewhat is Chocolate Thunder, btw. the different account won't enable me respond to you b/c it retains asserting blunders 999? @ Mark - The ((((same)))) article you cite starts with: "regardless of the fragmented and incomplete historic record, professionals rather lots agree that some huge-unfold ideals approximately Jewish historic previous in basic terms don’t postpone: there became into no surprising expulsion of all Jews from Jerusalem in A.D. 70, case in point. What’s greater, cutting-edge Jews owe their ancestry as lots to converts from the 1st millennium and early center a protracted time as to the Jews of antiquity." it is the finished element of the question! severe psychological dishonesty on your section. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - -- - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - -- - - - -- - -- - - Jeremiah Haber, an orthodox Zionist and a professor Jewish learn, writing under the nom de plume Jeremiah (Jerry) Haber, became into extreme of columnists like Charles Krauthammer and Leonard Fein. in the July 29, 2007 concern of the Magnes Zionist, Jeremiah admonished the two columnists for accepting "the parable that the Jews have been forcibly expelled from the Land of Israel, and introduced into captivity by skill of the Romans." Jeremiah went directly to rigidity: "To on the present time, maximum lay people, Jews and non-Jews, settle for the parable of the exile, while no historian, Jew or non-Jew, takes it heavily." And to added detox the probably blind dependancy to this delusion, he provided 2 assertions: : "the 1st element to make is that nicely previously the rebel against Rome in sixty six-70 c.e., there have been Jewish communities exterior Palestine, maximum particularly in Babylonia and in Egypt, yet someplace else besides. References to the dispersal of the Jewish people in the process the civilized international are stumbled on in the e book of Esther, Josephus, and Philo. there is not any indication that those communities have been small, satellite tv for pc communities. "2d, there is not any modern information i.e., 1st and 2d centuries c.e. that something like an exile got here approximately. The Romans placed down 2 Jewish revolts in sixty six-70 c.e. and in 132-one hundred thirty five c.e. in accordance to Josephus, the rebels have been killed, and countless of the Jews died of starvation. some prisoners have been despatched to Rome, and others have been bought in Libya. yet nowhere does Josephus communicate of Jews being taken into exile. "

This is an interesting question. I think perhaps (and I really have no idea) people are upset about what the Jews are doing right. Have you heard of Jewish slums? I haven't. They immigrate to other countries and succeed. You can tell by the way people say they run everything. Israel is surrounded by enemies but survives. It's strange really.

I don't know the answer except that, and I know there are people out there who don't want to hear this, Jesus predicted this very thing on his way to his death. When the women along the way were crying, he told them not to weep for him but for themselves and for their children's children. He then mentioned some sort of terrible thing that was going to happen that coincided with the Diaspora. (I don't memorize the bible. I don't see the need except to counter many who do memorize it.) That's the only thing I can come up with.

Try reading "The Origins of the Spanish Inquisition" by Benjamin Netanyahu. Hope you have a lot of time. Education DOES take time.

They're the most target because they are in control of so much. It's natural inclination to disdain authority; because Jews control so much of the world--particularly in the financial centers--there will be some backlash from non-Zionists.

Your making it sound like they were asking for it. Jewish people are very passive and they teach humility and passiveness. Others have just taken advantage of their passive nature and religion.
I'm not Jewish but they are not asking for trouble. That's like saying because a woman has on a tanktop she's asking to get raped.
