Throughout history the Jews have been blamed for everything from the great plague to the stock market crashes. Why is this?
What kind of proof exists that this is even possible? And why do so many believe it?

Because they are such a minority.

Why not the Jews?
Are you trying to prove that I am not the one in control...how dare you?
Why I control the Internet, I control when you go to sleep and when you wake up. I control your bank, your media sources, and all that you don't expect, I control that too. I am immortal; I am a Jew and hear me roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
But in all seriousness hatred of the Jews is as long as Judaism. When Abraham first started out there was first Anti-Semitism against him because he believed in one God. However, the hatred of the Jews is a good way to divert all national shortcomings into one group of people whom everyone suspects would be found guilty.
Christian community hates Jews, as the Jewish community in Europe or Latin America can tell you first hand. We are not Christians nor Muslims and no matter how much Christianity and Islam was forced on us we chose to remain Jewish. Thus, the hatred. Then the courtiers give us freedom in the last 120 years we did not take it for granted we worked hard, we studied hard, and we played hard and we rose through the levels of success. Then you started to see Jews in the Media and you say look at that Jew there goes the Media he is controlling it. We rose as accountants (developed by the Jews) and people think that we control the economy and the list goes on and on and on. It is easy to scapegoat the Jews because people will blame the Jews and will believe what everyone tells them.
I hope that helps

Because people want to blame others for thier problems...surely it can't be the Christians in power....No it must be the Jews, people see their religion as almost like a private club, kinda like the Stone Masons, and many people are paraniod and since they dont know whats going on in these 'clubs' the obvious choice is that is something that will bring down the people who are in the right club.

I don't blame the Jews for any of this. There have been plagues, stock market crashes, etc. because of God's wrath on mankind for being disobedient.

It's convenient to find a scapegoat and not blame oneself. The Christian church has preached anti-Semitism for 2000 years.
