Why do think there is too much hatred toward the Jewish people?

Question

I don't have anything against the Jews but I know a lot of people who do.

Answer 1

If you were Jewish, you might better understand.

In considering late breaking, totally TRASH news, born of a congressman in Virginia, I've noted hundreds of discussions about Muslims, Jews, and opposing views.

If you do even the most casual research you might see that even in this land of the free, Prejudice seems to be "Spent" as if it was an unlimited bank account.

I do also suspect that in the past week, sales of and study of the "Koran" have increased 10 fold.

With no religious insinuations at all, I'm amazed that in 2006, as far as our species claims to have evolved, we still view tolerance and acceptance as frivolous at least, and unacceptable at worst.

No I'm not Jewish, nor am I strictly "religious" but HEY I have to live on this Globe, just like everyone else. All I want is to live in some levels of peace, even without strict co-existance.

Answer 2

Too much hatred? What amount of hatred is just right?

People hate Jews because it got around to hate Jews and they were raised up with that. The main reason for it is that Jews always were in the minority wherever they went and it is human nature to dump on minorities, the more differences, the more dumping.

Then, people are livid that in spite of the persecution of them handed out, the Jews survived and prospered - people hate that.

And then, seeing Jews surviving and prospering, every time something goes wrong with them, they blame Jews for it: they don't have the money they want, the Jews took it from them, and so on.

That's why there is the saying, "Living well is the best revenge." There is nothing like surviving and prospering in spite of your enemies' assaults to make your enemies enraged.

Answer 3

Because so many people in the world are too ignorant to know better. Same reason that Turks and Greeks hate each other, and Hindus and Muslims, blacks and whites, the Scots and the English, the Irish and the English, Shiites and Sunnis, Protestants and Catholics, the Japanese and Chinese and so on and on and on. The Jews have been particularly unlucky in regard to the general fear and envy that all humans seem to have for those that they see as different partly because for the last two thousand years they haven't had a home land of their own and have had to always live as strangers in a strange land.

Answer 4

The only reason that people don't like those who choose another religion besides their own is because they know no better. This is what they have been taught as children. No one allows their children to seriously study on what THEY choose to believe. There are kids now that are getting baptized in the Baptist religion and have no idea why. They are doing it because they where told that is how your sins will be washed away. But does it not say in the Bible that God forgives all. Not just a choosen few. I believe that you should really understand what you will be practicing before you practice. Then you will not have hatred towards another religion because you know why they believe what they believe.

Answer 5

First of all is their pretense, that they are God's personally saved people. This leads to pride, correct? It is proved many times in the Bible that pride leads to downfall, as in the Babylonian captivity and etc.

Another factor is that if you count Christ as a legitimate messiah, his teaching supersede those of the ancients, and according to the Gospels, with the tearing of the cloth, that signified the end of the covenant with God. So, in short, they are supposed to be dead by now, but their religion of today is far different from the original before Christ.

Lastly, look at the role of the Nazi's. I am not saying the holocaust was justified, but Hitler hated the fact that the majority of German resources were under the care of Jews, outsiders, instead of the Germans themselves. And this goes on and on with other countries.

But to wrap it up short, people hate Jews because of their spiritual pride of being the personally saved race of God although God has sent some wake-up calls to the Hebrews to get their act together and not to be so proud, as a result, their meager little country. Secondly, personal reasons, the fact that Hitler hated them is because of their social status, for theirs was above most German peoples. And to be anachronistic, lastly, that if you count Christ's revelation, they have no further access to God since the covenant with God is broken.

Answer 6

Lots of people don't like the Jewish because of how they were raised. This dates back to medieval times when Jews were prosecuted by almost every European country. They were not liked because people think that all of them are bad because Jesus was turned into the Romans by a Jew.
Hope I helped!

Answer 7

Are they German???

Just kidding.

Well maybe they know someone who's Jew and treated them wrongly, so they discriminate all Jews. I personally feel there's too much hatred towards everybody in the world. Can't everyone just treat everybody like they'd like to be treated?!

Answer 8

Christians - you know - those love thy neighbour - guys.

Their priests for many generations taught the christians to hate.

Then there was the profit mohamad who taught not to hate Jews but many generations later the Muslim clerics started to teach to hate anyone who isn't a muslim.

And so on and so on

Answer 9

They murder Palestinian children They think they are the chosen ones of God. They treat everybody like crap. Arrogant racists. Israel is portrayed by the media as an innocent victim fighting all the Arabs for its life because guess who makes up most of the media.

Answer 10

I don't think people hate them for hate's sake. They draw hatred towards themselves because of their greed, their landgrabbing, their violence, their emulation of the Nazis policy of extermination, and their absurd and laughable claim that they are God's chosen people and are licensed to do anything they want.
