in many countries of the western world, there is a negative attitude towards Jews. Hitler and the russians (USSR) were against them too.
why?

Not only Germens & Russians. Jews have been abused throughout their 5000 years history. The pharoes made them slaves working in their feilds before moses took them out of Eygpt.
5000 years is along time and many many different people. Why did all those people thought Jews deserved to be treated badly or even killed.....
I always wondered.
May be part of the answer is looking how jews are doing nowdays.

Basically because the way they believe is a bit different from the rest. Don't believe in Jesus or the Virgin Mary, ect. and so since they are different and not the majority it makes them easy prey to blame things on. People don't like taking responsible for themselves or think that the blame falls in their own backyard, so they need someone or something to blame it on. Hitler put the blame on everything wrong in the country of the Jews it was their fault the economy was bad , they had it all ect. If you look back through history, this scenario appears quite a bit. Prosecution of a people for their beliefs or looks is not something new. Though what was done to the Jewish people in ww2 I think if the most horrific. Whats that old saying "the devil made me do it".

In regards to arabs, it is a long-built tension, especially when Israel was stolen from arabs and just handed to jews by Britain. As for Germany and Russia, it goes with the nature of economics. The Great Depression would not have occured if it were not for the concepts of national banks, credit, etc., which are somewhat accredited to having been mainstreamed by the jews, if not created by them. This leads to the jews being blamed for the Great Depression and for general fall in economy (mostly capitalistic systems which then collapse and lead into fascist dictatorships, i.e. Germany via Hitler). Pretty much ages of stereotypes and problems being blamed on the jews have led to the general distaste. There also is the whole ordeal of the jews allegedly killing the christian savior jesus.

Nations are insular and tribal in Western Europe. Just look at the efforts that countries like France go to to prevent immigrant populations from assimilating. They are distrustful of people outside of their bloodline, so any immigrants are going to be looked down upon. Also, back in the Middle Ages, it was against Christian practice to lend money with interest, since Jews were able to do this, a lot of stupid an hateful people got jealous of the money they made and thought they were disrespectful to God or devil worshipers.
Recently, a lot of hostility has been directed toward Israel, but that has to do with the actions of Israel as a state, and is an issue seperate from the Jewish religion.

Ignorance and I am Catholic mind you. Hitler and the Russians were against them cuz they do what politicians do. If you are having problems at home, then shift the focus from them and blame someone else. So, blame the Jews cuz they are different. Same reason, America did during WWII. The Japanese were incarcerated but not Germans. Works on the same principle. Some one is different in religion or looks. So throughout history, when you have a problem blame the other guy instead of yourself.

It has been pre-ordained - but most everyone scoffs the idea - that until they except Christ - they shall be punished and outcasts from all of man. They are the chosen by God and until they come full circle this shall ever be their fate. Yet the tricky part those who cause harm to Israel are cursed as well

Lots of reasons, none of them worth a damn though. Ignorance, jealousy, plain old bigotry, you name it. It's unreasoned hate and prevalent more than ever. Personally, I see Israel as the underdog in all of this, just trying to hang on, surrounded by maniacs in every direction and we have many people in western nations who normally would be seen as thinking, decent people who become very agitated when this subject arises. Makes one wonder.....

For the most I think people who hate Jew's, its mainly towards those who project their past continuously, say they are far more educated, and disrupt the economy with corporate maneuvers, that at times brings it to the brinks of collapse.
