I'm sure it goes beyond any religious reasons?

Nope. God says the nations will, and they do. It is religious.

Sorry, but I only have one reason, and that is religious. People have historically hated the Jews because they are God's chosen people. One can debate that all they want, but the Bible (old testament) talks about that, and history supports it. Since the Jews have been in existence, they have been persecuted and hated. Nations have feared them as well as been destroyed by them. God has allowed other nations to pay the price when they go against them. There are many historical accountings to support this.

No, it's totally for religious reasons. Satan has been at war with Jesus = spiritual war that continues to exist. Good vs evil. Satan hates all that Jesus loves. Satan tried to stop Jesus from being born, tried to have Him killed as a baby and on the cross. Satan thought since Jesus died, satan won, only to find out Jesus conquered death. Since Satan could not win Jesus over even when he tempted Jesus and satan still failed, satan went for the children of Jesus - the christians and (Jews who were God's chosen people since Jesus was born a Jew). Satan is behind the hatred in the nations that hates the Jews. Satan's hatred for Jesus and the children of Jesus still is brewing.

Genesis 3:15, 16 show that there would be a power struggle between Satan and his organization and Jehovah and His organization.
Since the Jew's were Jehovah chosen nation to bring about the messiah, Satan would have stopped at nothing to prevent it from happening.
Jesus was born and when he died he was Resurrected to heavenly life where he waits for Jehovah's command to finish cleansing the earth of Satan, his followers and all that is Satan claims.

well it might have to do with the NT declaring that the death of jesus is on the heads of all the jews and their offspring forever. it might also have something to do with the council of nicea, basically the formative council of christian belief, calling jews "odious" and "detestable." or perhaps "saint" hillary of poitiers influenced antisemitism when she stated that G-d will curse the jews forever. or how "saint" augustine wrote that "the true image of the hebrew is judas iscariot... jews will bear forever the guilt for the death of jesus." or how about canon 24 of the third lateran council which stated that jews should be the slaves of christians forever? and so on and so forth ad nauseam. antisemitism was institutionalized into early christianity by its founders and its saints, and so it is really no surprise that christians made jew-killing a sport for so long. the real surprise is that they ever stopped.

It does, until recently Jews have always lived within the framework of other civilizations, they take over economically then proceed to strangle the people with high costs so that the people can't afford to live, Hilter is not the first to try to kill them all others have tried also. Read The History of Civilization.

They haven't. During biblical days Jews were treated just like the countries around them. They had wars but no more than anyone else. It was only after they were disbursed throughout the world and managed to retain their identity and were very industrious and successful that other peoples became jealous and begin to hate them.

It was prophesy long ago. Read your Bible and find out the truth. If they weren't persecuted, they wouldn't be the chosen people. It's all been written in God's word.

Fulfillment of prophesy. On a simpler level, I think jealousy is the reason.

Who ever said being chosen was easy?
yes you get some perks, but your responsibility is much greater and as such so is the punishment.

People have always seen them as an easy scapegoat when the sh*t hit the fan. It's a shame.
