Cuz most stereotypes originate from a true place. Why are most black people stereotyped to have a big nose as well? I am half white and half black and my nose is still pretty big. =) Most of the Jews I have seen have usually had a bump in their nose, not necessarily a big one.

Because they don't understand jews. They stereotype what they can't explain. It's sad but it's the truth.

I'm not sure they do.
When I was young I had a couple of jewish friends. They loved their faith and their heritage very much. We often talked about Israel.
We thought about going there to live on a kibbutz. Eventually my two friends decided to go.
Within 6 months they were back. I ask why they had come back so soon. They replied that you could not really appreciated the plight of the Palestinians until you actually got there and saw how they were being treated.
The reality of the way the Palestinians were being treated was very sobering to them. They have hardly ever spoke of Israel in the past 30 years.

in saying a generalized "people", you are stereotyping people in general for stereotyping Jews, so your question is hypocritical.

The question you asked is also stereotype. Why do "people always". Some people are judgmental and prejudice. They are evil. The devil has them in their power. Christians love all people. It is our commandment to love all even our enemies.
