i dont mind the jews, never met 1 before, saw a rabbi at the airport once, with little curly sideburns, lolz. but they have been persecuted partially because some believe that they were responsible for the death of Jesus, even though jesus was a jew, and also because befroe the holocaust, and even after they had a reputation for success and money, which made people jealous

I know of a multi-media presentation on the subject from a Jewish religious perspective. It looks at the various causes attributed (incorrectly, according to the author) to anti-semitism, and attempts to deduce the real root of Jew-hatred. I found the piece to be original and thought-provoking, and would definitely recommend it to you. Have a look:

In addition, www.simpletoremember.com has articles on a variety of Jewish topics, religious and historical. Anyway, enjoy.

They don't.
I think that while anti-semitism may exist in many places, in most places outside the muslim world, it is a minoirty opinion. The problem is racism is louder than acceptance. Besides, in addition to the outright racism, there is always the perception that one is a closet racist. Some are of course but I doubt most are.

Jews have been hated because they are God's chosen people. God will punish everyone who does wrong to the Jews and Isreal.
