Why has there been so much persecution of Jews through out history?

Question

I thought Jesus was a jew...

so why did people like Hitler say they were doing gods work by killing jews if the son of god was one?

Answer 1

First of mainly roman catholics were responsible for it.

It can also be said that God wanted to show them that they are no more chose people, they have lost the status after they tried to kill Jesus and John the baptits

Answer 2

The Jewish people have gotten a hard time because they had no homeland and so had to be immigrants in other countries. They kept to themselves, or at least made no big efforts to fit in, which could p!ss some native folks off. The Jews did this to keep their culture intact so their culture would survive even though they lived among people of a different culture. Jesus was a Jew, but something of a radical. He basically created Judaism for Gentiles, which p!ssed the other Rabbis off. So they arranged for Him to be executed. They had an enclosed culture due to all the various unsavory cultures that wandered into their homeland, conquered them, and even enslaved them at one or two points. If you were not a Jew, you were pretty much Hell-bound as far as they were concerned. Jesus opened this up so that non-Jews could be a part of the Chosen People too, which made people mad at him and led to him getting killed.

Answer 3

Jesus was a Jew but in the Bible the Jews are the people who condemned Jesus to such a terrible death. The Roman leader and Judge Pilate knew their was no wrong in Jesus and P. Pilate was even warned by his wife not to kill this Holy Man.
But the Jews rejected Christ and did not want HIM for their king or Savior so they had Jesus killed and His blood has been on their hands since then.
The Jews were God's chosen people and after the death of Jesus the gentiles (non-Jews) that accepted Christ's teaching started the Christian religion.
The Jew have been persecuted all through history and it don't look like its getting any better to this day.

Answer 4

because Jews were the ones who ultimately pushed the Romans to crucify Jesus. they turned on him. i am not saying it is right to persecute Jews, i'm just saying that is some peoples logic, Hitler being the biggest example.

Answer 5

Why does a visible majority bully a visible minority ? Why does the bully pick on the smallest or weakest one ?
I think that when Jewish populations spread out into Europe and Russia. They were living in smaller more vulnerable groups. Maybe there were more single men within these groups who were seen as competition and a nuisance to other men seeking the attention and finally the vaginas and wombs of the limited number of women in their towns.

Answer 6

Because they did not follow the bible, we are supposed to respect others differences and oppinions and not try to change them. We are supposed to love everyone. We are not supposed to judge. We are not supposed to critisise others. We are not supposed to push our beliefs on to others. It makes me very angry to see people doing that, and i dont like to be angry.I was just reading another question and came acrosss this person, leane m, have you seen her postings? she claims to be a christian but is so shocking! She gives great long speaches and them condems other for not accepting what she had to say!That is not what god wants from us!So i guess my answer is bigotry. I am sorry
