In the 700's in Muslim countries. The Spanish Inquisition. 1200's in England. The Dreyfus trials in France. Bogdan Chmielnitzki. The Holocaust. Why?

By the way, do you guys know who Bogdan Chmielnitzki is and what he did to Polish Jews? His atrocities are on par with those of Hitler.

I agree with Dude. Look what was done to the native people of the land we call North America. Hitler don't have squat on what they did to the native people here.

I don't know, jealousy? How many christian denominations say they're they chosen now that? Lots. They seem to forget that God doesn't make promises and break them and He made a promise to the Jews, but we want to be the chosen so we've decided since we blame the Jews for killing Christ, we'll make ourselves the chosen ones now. It doesn't work like that, but we want to believe it, so our jealousy of them becomes anger. Just a theory, but its all I can come up with. We seem to forget that Christ and all the disciples were Jews.
As for the muslims, same thing really. Mohammed turned on the Jews and christians when we wouldn't accept him as a prophet, and the Jews just happened to be there in the mid-east, so they became the targets.

Reference The Spanish Inquisition:
The Inquisition, as an ecclesiastical tribunal, had jurisdiction only over baptized Christians.
The Spanish were the one's who originally persecuted the Jews causing many of them to become Christians, the Inquisition then were allowed to persecute them further.
They didn't hate the Jews they hated everybody.

I don't know. There are just some things we don't probe into too much because it's impossible to find definite answers.

Because man doesn't understand that they aren't always right. They think there is only ONE way.

God's chosen people. Trouble is, he never told them what he had chosen then for.

Many peoples have been persecuted throughout history. The Jews just complain the loudest.
