what have they done to be so persecuted

The Bible says that they are God's chosen people. They have been hated since the days of Abraham because God showed favor upon them. They are still God's chosen people, and even Christians know this. Jews as a nation have always had to fight to survive. History shows however, that nations going against God's people are only allowed to do so for so long before God enacts His judgment upon them. I for one, don't dislike Jewish people. I think it is a blessing to be able to call oneself Jewish.

Because most people dislike or hate what they are envious of...Jews have been on this earth for over 5,000 years and many groups have tried and failed to annhilate them. We are well-educated and accomplished people who value truth and charity. Jews make up .5% of the world's population and have won 31% of the Nobel Prizes. I am so proud to be a Jewish woman...there's no way I could or would be anything else. And the more trash I read against me and my people, the more I know we are doing the right thing.

Neo Nazis and Muslims are the ones I usually hear talking smack about the Jews.
In all of their accusations, their only proof is some made up website with twisted versions of history to make Jews look absolutely diabolical. Only people who have no clue about history would ever buy into the outrageous accusations and twisted history. I read one supposedly 'history' website (ran by Muslims) actually stated the Jews set poor Hitler up and worked along side the man. Or something to that effect.
Another ridiculous twisted accusation to try and turn uneducated Christians against Jews was telling that Jews lie in wait to kill and torture Christian boys to drink their blood.., and other insane off the wall tales. They give no valid history - nor current proofs except through made up garbage.
IM NOT SAYING ALL MUSLIMS - but a good many have and do make up slanderous idiocies. The majority of Muslims do hate Jews. It must be a requirement in Islam so one can be Muslim (or so it seems).

The Jewish people have been a blessing upon the earth just as G-d promised! I think in more way then they themselves know!
They have kept G-d ways from being forgotten the rest of the World owe much to them When i say my prayers i am very thankful for Abraham Issac and Jacob for all the prophets and for the Messiah Yahshua YHWH saves!!
Blessed is his HOLY Name forever!! YHWH loves Those that love him weather they be JEW or GREEK!
But salvation came first to the JEW!!
humble non Jewish person on the earth but not of it!!

Because people don't like to be reminded that God is more powerful than humans and Jews were ordered by God to tell the world about Him.

I have always wondered this myself. If they actually live up to their stereotypes about money etc. those to me are good qualities. I think jews are great and I am American of German/English descent. I love the way they think.

Muslims (some, not all) are the only ones I've ever heard of who have a problem with Jews. I assume the problem there lies over the contested holy lands.

Because of the idea that they killed Jesus. And they did, but it was supposed to happen that way, because Jesus was THEIR sacrifice. Christian kings exploited this for centuries

We were forced to be the banlkers because the Christians passed Usury laws...and then they were pissed that we had money.
It's typical scape goating mixed in with jealousy.
What we have done is contributed to the cultural fabric, and economic well being, of every nation that has shown us tolerance.
