In the past Jews was blamed for Jesus death. But it was in the past, todays christians don't buy it anymore.
Things shifted to economical reasons in the beginning of 20th century. In Europe Jews was minority, but they were more rich than the local people. this made jealosy towards Jews, and when the German economy collapsed after the WWI, the Jews were the scapegoat by some racists . This may still happened until now, in former Sovyet nations Jews hold their grasp on the nation economy while the local still in poverty.
For the muslim it's about Palestine and the holyland that make them hate the Israelis. because the Israelis is associated with Jew, some of them have their hatred towards all Jews not only to Israelis Jews

Jealousy, lack of information... lower back in historic previous or maybe immediately, many Jewish human beings have been influential bankers. that is between the justifications Hitler became into in a position to incite lots hatred against the Jews - on the time, Germany became into suffering by a super economic melancholy, so it became into uncomplicated for him to blame the Jewish bankers for the fall of Germany. there became into additionally the Spanish Inquisition wherein Ferdinand and Isabella, the Catholic Kings of Spain, expelled each and all of the Jews from Spain. Christians have been supportive of this, since they had grown jealous of the Jews fulfillment. of direction, some say this at last delivered approximately the give way of the Spanish economic device thereafter.

Answer 4

Because a lot of people read a book that says that you are the infidel. I won't say who they are, but don't worry im not a Jew, and Im an infidel too. I think a lot of other people hate the Jews because they defend themselves, and the people buy into the lie that Israel is at fault. A lot of Christians hate Jews because they killed Jesus, but that is because they are ignorant. Christians believe the Bible and it says bless them that bless you, and Curse them that curse you (you being the Jews). So if Christians are against the Jews, they don't know their own Bibles.

Answer 5

well as a muslim i would like to say this to you. there is hatred and ignorance among all religions. ignorance stems from the lack of knowledge. people fear the "unknown" for example you might find this hard to believe but there is a verse that says there are mumins among the christians and the jews. mumins means (believers, and good doers) people from all over the world hate people for all different reasons. i do not dislike all jews or any paticular group of people. the way i look at it is being human is what should make people respect others. we do not know what god has instored for others. god forgives the worst of sinners who are we to hate on others? do not get me wrong i am no fan of zionists. i do not believe what they stand for. i am pro nueri karta jewish people. they are good people in my eyes. generalizing one group of people is ignorant though. if more people were to educate themselves about other people they would perhaps not impregnate themselves with hate 24/7. but remember even though people say that religion and politics are supposed to be secular world wide it is the PEOPLE of the world who mix the two on all sides of the spectrum. if i were you i would ignore those who BLINDLY hate you. it is only their own soul they are hurting in the process!

Answer 6

I don't hate jews. I have some jewish friends.

I hate them claiming that it was a jewish holocust. Wrong!!!! It was a holocust of people who weren't of white skin, blond hair blue eyes. It was anyone hitler hated. No just of jewish people.

My fathers parents were caught up in the whole debarcle and they were NOT jewish. Thats what Im sick of.

And here in Sydney the othordox jews wanted the council to pay for kosher traffic lights. Because they are prevented from using electic things on the sabbath. Im sorry if they want that they can pay for it themselves.

Answer 7

Because religion is a competitive business in disguise. Every religion gives little innuendos that all other religions are inferior. Christians blame Jews for the death of Jesus, yet without his crucifixion, Catholicism would certainly be a different story.

Answer 8

This attitude does not come from God! If one is claiming to be a Christian and hates the Jewish roots of Christianity he is NOT a Christian! God chose the Jewish people to bring His son into the world! All people should thank the Jewish people for this! Because of our Jewish messiah all nations and people of the earth have an opportunity to be blessed by God. In a true Christians heart there should not be anything but love for the Jewish people. Christ left the earth as a Jewish rabbi and will probably come back a Jewish rabbi. Christ came to redeem his own people and the gentiles also. Christians, there would be no Christianity if not for the Jewish faith. They are the roots of Christianity! Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for God to bless the Jewish people!

Answer 9

It happens with a lot of religions and nationalities. Actually, I don't know what groups you are talking about, but whatever. It's the way some people were raised. Don't take it personally. If it bothers you then explain why the comment made is wrong.

Answer 10

According to Christianity, Jews were responsible for killing Jesus of Nazareth.


From then on, Jews were labeled for causing anything awful to Europeans: The Black Death, The Great Fire of London,.. Many were killed. (That's the religious reason)

About the racial reason, Jews were considered as "aliens" because their appearances were different from other white supremacists. Just like black people 300 years ago,

Hatred and ignorance are conclusions for the racial reason
