Surely this should be in the past tense. Why WERE the Jews considered inferior?
Your comment regarding Aryans relates to Hitler and the Nazi policy. At the time of Hitler's rise many German banks, businesses and industries were controlled by Jews. Coupled with the bitterness of the German loss in WW1 they were a natural target for Hitler.
His policy of defining Aryans had no scientific or medical basis. To define an Aryan as blonde with blue eyes was nonsensical. If you look at photos of the Nazi leadership none of them fit the stereotype.
They would measure a person's nose, colour of hair, eye colour or ask them to prove that they had no Jewish blood in their family, often over several hundred years.
It wasn't just Jews that Hitler targeted. He had an almost pathological hatred of Jews, but also aimed his propaganda against Russians, Slavs, Gypsies or any other group that didn't 'conform' to his policies and beliefs.
Historically prejudice against Jews isn't confined to Nazi policy. Throughout history there have been many pogroms aimed at Jewish communities. From what I've read and understand the main problem seemed to be with ignorance and envy.
Jewish communities were tight-knit and their beliefs were out of kilter with Christians.

The Jewish people are very clannish and believe that they are God's chosen people and they are all going to heaven. The Jewish people are actually the ones who put Jesus on the cross. They do not accept the new testament as the gospel.
They consider it an almost unforgivable thing if a Jew marries a gentile.

At the time of WWII the Jew controlled the banks and most of the money in Germany. They were basically choking the life out of the German race. Jewish people tend to be very adept at money matters and set up other Jewish people in business and build up a large circle of influence and money.
The Aryan race felt they were superior physically and mentally and that they should not be under the control of the Jewish bankers. They were told to get out and leave their worldly goods behind. They refused to do so and the Germans started getting rid of them.

Ignorance. Look at the physical features of most "Aryans". Blonde hair and blue eyes right? But what is even more odd, is look at Hitler. Not exactly blonde and blue was he? Like I said ignorance.

That would be in the Bible and in the Tora. After Adam and eve ate the apple, God told them that they were to wander the earth forever. that is why they really do not have a home and they are hated like christians because of their beliefs.

because we all need to hate / feel superior to someone else - because of religious difference the Jews were perscuted throughout Europe from the Russian pogroms to the gas chambers. one could say shakespears treatment of the character 'Shylock' first outlined the 'gentile' fear of the unknown.
