ASK HIM TO READ THE NEW TESTAMENT WHERE HE CAN FIND THAT JESUS HIMSELF DID NOT HATE JEWS AND ASKED GOD TO FORGIVE THEM

You might tell him that it was the Romans rather than the Jews that killed Jesus. It began when they started killing every jewish infant once they heard Christ had been born. The Israel and Palestinian disputes are political and no reason to hate anyone. Was not all of the USA populated by immigrants from all over to create the nation in the land of the Indians? How about Australia? Same thing wasn't it? You might also point out that if he ever got in a quarrel or fight with a jew after years of verbally declaring hatred for them before witnesses he could be prosecuted for hate crimes instead of assault or liable. Everyone has some prejudice in them but outright hatred of all people in any category is ignorant and foolish. It accomplished nothing and you deprive yourself of learning some of the things this group can teach you. They all have a cultural value, races, religions, ethnicity on the grand scale of things are pretty insignificant to humanity.

For the Jesus argument, in order to fulfill the prophecy, SOMEONE had to kill him. So they were doing the right thing, whether he likes it or not.
Ask him why he doesn't hate Christians because of the Crusades and Inquisition? Pretty picky to me.
As to Israel, tell him to look through history and he will find EVERY country runs around getting land from other countries - including (whatever country you are in). So why isn't he picking on your own country? Again, he is acting like an uneducated brat and a bully. Wasn't it the United Nations that established Israel? Why isn't he picking on the United Nations? He is just making up excuses at this point.
Jews have always been picked on. If you read their history, you find that they have had to move from country to country just to keep from getting killed. They've been denied jobs in certain fields, so they've had to work at other types of jobs. And when they were hard working and successful at it, people always became jealous.
If he wants to be a little Hitler, he can just keep it up.
(Excuse my ranting.)

I'm glad you came here. Honestly, the best thing you can do is have him meet someone and befriend someone who is Jewish without his knowledge. Let him see us as real people. No offense, but your son in this regard is irrational, and rational arguments can only go so far. I wish you both the best.
If it's really arguments you want, bring up relativity. All men do evil things. Is the creation of Israel without slaughtering Palestinians so cruel compared to even the creation of America and the slaughter of Native Americans? Is the 'divisive fence' more evil than the murder and terror it prevents?

First of all the word of God tells us not to hate it also tells us that Jesus knew in advance that he was put here to die for us. Maybe you should have him talk to your clergymen. Since Christ was albe to forgive them, then he should to. We are not the Judge and the jury.

He learned it somewhere - ask yourself where. You can lead by example.
One other thing - he's at an age where everything is black and white. He's probably thinking, "Those that are not with us are against us". This will pass as he matures.

let him deal with it. It is very much better that he make decisions and make up his own mind. You dont then have to tell him lies to force him to like Jews.

Your son sounds retarded. Maybe if you'd brought him up properly, he'd be a half decent human being. You failed, your bad.
