It seems to me that their always in some sort of conflict with someone throughout history.
Just what is it with the Jews and do they run a secret world government?

I like the Jews. I have several Jewish friends.
Ignorance and jealousy causes people to hate them. They have prospered wherever they have gone, raising suspicion amongst the gentiles.
It's an ignorant, ancient hatred that has no place in this world, but sadly still exists like many others.

To understand this you have to have some biblical knowledge. Potted (and not necessarily acurate) history. Try reading the book of Exodus. It will tell you exactly why the land that the Jews now occupy (and stole in 1947) is )to their belief) legitaimately theirs. To cut a long story short. Jews kicked out of Egypt...jews wander about a bit lead by Moses. Lots of improbable stuff happens (parting of the Red Sea etc). Moses wanders off by himself for a bit, is presented with two stone tablets from 'God' dictating the 10 Commandments. God shows him a postcard (wish you were here) sort of thing showing the land of the Cainanites (might have spelt that wrong). Moses 'mosies' back down the mountain with his two headstones of Christinaity. Finds eveyone he left behind doing unplesant things round a bull or something. Gets a bit miffed, makes them build the Ark of the Covenant. Wrathfull god stuff yada yada. Bit more wandering goes on and eventually, there you go.
In truth, Israel (what with everyone feeling sorry for the Jews after their treatment in WW2) strode into Palestine in 1947 and just annexed half of it. Sound familliar??Apparently though, it;'s alright for them to do it because they were opressed. Something they've been doing to the Palestinians ever since. It's not without reason that's it's referred to as the "Occupied Territory' you know.
While it can never be disputed that the Jews suffered horribly at the hands of the Nazis, so did Gypsies, Homosexuals, Jehovas Witnessess, Communists and many others. But just how many homosexuals have you seen trying to annexe the Estee Lauder counter in recent years?
Oohh, contraversial!!

I love the jews.
The jews have been attacked throughout history because of what they represent to the world. They were the group by which the worlds Savior came into this world, they had the faith by which humanity could know God in times past and in the future they will be the ones who preach the truth of the Living Savior here on earth. Their petition of repentance to Jesus Christ will bring about wrath upon the One World Government and Satan knows this from prophecy and wishes to annihilate them before they can do this so that he can do what he always wanted, to be "like the most High God". Many are very loving and faithful people and I call myself their friend.

Yes, I do for a start.
And, no, they do not run a secret world government....such things only happen in fantasies.
Their lifestyle has often led them into conflict....eg during the plagues in the middle ages Jews largely survived...because of their ritual washimng; onlookers viewed it as magic or bewitchment.
You cannot blame the Jews for the ill-informed views of their persecutors.
And, NO, I am not Jewish

Christians have respect for the Jews because of their rich background in the Old Testament. They are very interesting to listen to when they speak about their Torah.

They are human beings, just like the rest of us,they have feelings too.In this world someone always blames somebody else, the jews are easy targets because of their past.

The sad and strange thing is that there are lots of people as foolish and as uninformed as you are.
The Jews have probably 'played by the rules' more than any other race in the history of the world, and have gotten nothing but persecution for it. And here you are yelling "pile on!". Idiot.

im guessing jews do, and not all Jews are how you see them. my best friend is a Jew and theres nothing wrong with her. i hope you grow up one day and realise prejudice is what causes wars and devestation. if people like you could do that then the world would be a nicer place. i dont mean to sound harsh, but in all honesty, your question was harsh too

It's jealousy. Christians are jealous because we're not the chosen, though some of us try to convince ourselves that somewhere in the bible we can mistranslate something to make ourselves appear to be the chosen, and the muslims hate them because, yep, that's it, they're the chosen, and even though the same old testament the muslims say they believe in, says quite clearly that Israel belongs to the Jews, they'd like to ignore that part and keep it for themselves. So, yeah, jealously all around.

I rated your question as bad because it is BAD. Have we not always been in conflict with others throughout our own history here in the UK? You should think your question through before posting.
