why do people hate jews so much?

Question

what did the jews do that everybody hates them? did they do some thing wrong?

Answer 1

Because, the people who currently CLAIM to be Jews aren't Jews at all. They are imposters.

Answer 2

Well, there are two reasons really.

One, they crucified the supposed messiah. Now, if christians believed everything that the bible says about god, they wouldn't hate the jews. Why, because the jews really had no choice in the matter, as it was all according to the plan anyways. Someone had to crucify him for the story to work.

Second, and probably more accurate is the money situation. In ancient Europe, in what is now Germany, the tax collectors were all jews. They were made to be tax collectors. Tax collectors were hated above all. The nobles hated the jews, and the theory was why not have them do it. This is the real origin of anti-semitism, especially in tht area. This is also the reason jews have become known for having money.

Answer 3

They're just jealous.

(Just kidding!)

But seriously. I think people hate what they do not understand. For instance, in Poland the religion was Catholicism. They did not understand the Jews and their "strange beliefs" (i.e. kosher food, Shabbat) and so made laws that the Jews couldn't own land and could only hold a certain kind of job, the unfavorable one. They forced them to become merchants, expecting them to fail since merchants often did back then. But they didn't, the Jews succeeded. (This is probably where people get the idea that all Jews control money and are rich.) This process was repeated not only in Poland but in many countries all over the world, in different forms.

People do not like what they do not know, and hate what is stereotyped.

Another reason that could be today is that Judaism is a religion of traditions (real ones, and no, we aren't impostors, and no, we're not all cheap.) and people do not understand our traditions.

Answer 4

Jews are hard working people. Not many people today want to work for their money. Jews also seem to be a very disciplined group. They stand behind each other and they are very professional, which is probably another reason why people don't like them. Personally I think it comes down to laziness and jealousy. If you don't wanna work for what you get and you don't wanna be the best then don't pick on those that do. And no. I'm not jewish. Only with my money.

Answer 5

Blind ignorance, prejudism, stereotypes that they just won't let go of... It's a cycle, and Jews aren't the only ones suffering from this type of hate. Instead, look to those who love the Jew for who the individual is. Don't waste your time and efforts on those who can't see through their hate (speaking from experience, lol), as it'll only stress you out and make your life less enjoyable. And know that there are plenty of people who do not share the same opinion of the hate mongers.

Answer 6

There are as many reasons as there are people that hate them. Most of the reasons are contrived, but sometimes it's simply because they are different.

Think about why Americans are OK with about any immigrants except Mexicans. Mexicans didn't come here to embrace our culture and way of life and contribute their own uniqueness to it, they brought their culture with them and make our country like Mexico. Then they protest in our streets waving the Mexican flag, it's like they don't want to be Americans, they want America to adapt to them.

Jews don't assimilate into other cultures, they remain distinctively Jewish.

Because their religion is tied to their ancestry (descended from Jacob), they're not so anxious to make converts, so they stay to themselves. This isolation breeds a certain distrust of them. It seems like they help their own, and don't want to become part of the "gentile" economy where they live.

Thus they are viewed as a threat to the existing economic and social framework wherever it is they settle.

And because they don't adopt the moreys and values of the culture around them, they are viewed with suspicion and often find themselves the scapegoat for the ills of a society.

And no, I am not antisemetic. I'm biologically almost half Jewish, but am not part of a Jewish network of any kind as I have acknowledged Jesus as Messiah.

Answer 7

I have been trying to figure that out. throughout most of European history Jews have been disliked and not trusted. Genreation after generation of Christian Europeans had the same beliefs. Why? What was it that the Jews were doing that inspired such mistrust?

It had to be something because if there were no basis to it , it would not have lasted more than one or two generations.

Answer 8

The Jews I met are good people

Answer 9

No, they didn't do anything wrong. And it's not true that everybody hates them. About why there are people who hate them it is a big question and has historical reasons, mainly that Jews have mostly lived as a minority among often very ignorant and intolerant people who made up so many lies about them.

Answer 10

Because they are living on a land which is not their land,because most of them are agressive,because they like to take other’s things(Israel tried to occupy my country,but we defeated it,coz it is our own country,and we still have this day as a national feast,they just take any land and say:" it’s ours,God gave it us,we are God’s chosen people"and all these lies we are fed up with)
Israelian people have a very bad reputition in my country,and we don’t like them....of course,you may be a good person,you may not be an Israelian,but they are the reason of the bad reputition about all the jews.....

Answer 11

You know what? I'm not sure why people hate Jews so much because Jews are God's chosen people. Jesus was Jewish before he was nailed upon the cross. I don't think they did anything wrong but I'm just 12 so this is the best answer I can give you!
