Many nations seek to eradicate other nations in order to expand their territories. While other nations seek to exterminate nations or races because they are different (like when the United States invoked its forced "Indian Removal Policies" because American Indians were not like them).
Israel is currently a nuclear power and any nation that strives to "drive Israel into the sea" will open the door to its own worst nightmare.
The Jews (short form is Ju, derived from the tribe Judah, hence, Jew) were enslaved hundreds of years by Egypt; throughout history they fought Muslims; Palestine (Israel) was a Roman vassal state for centuries; Germany, by way of Hitler, strived to exterminate the Jews.

Well, I'm a Christian, personally, so for the Egyptians I'll say this. The Jews were introduced to Egyptian culture through a slave named Joseph. He was so trusted that the Pharoah made him second in command. Because of this relationship, the Jews migrated to Egypt. The problem came several pharoahs later when the trust was forgotten. A pharoah saw the Jews as a threat and therefore feared, hated and enslaved them.
The Romans were not so much hating Jews as they were power hungry. They were taking over land. Israel was just part of the mix. Now the whole deal with Herod killing all the baby boys, well that's where the human element comes in. Herod was insecure in his mind and position. He heard a prophesy that a great king would come out of Israel and rule the nation, so his first thought was that whatever ruler came would dethrown him, and there ya go.
Now, the Nazi's were trying to build thier perfect race, and according to them, Jews were imperfect. But the nazi's killed people of all religions including Muslims, Jehovah's Witness and Christians (I'd tell you to ask Dietrich Bonhoeffer about the truth of this matter, but you'd better just refer to his works as the Nazi's killed him.)
And Muslims? Well, I don't know that they specifically HATE Jews, but they don't appreciate them because they believe different things. I don't know that Muslims like Christians too much either.
I'm afraid that it is the doom of Israel to be continuously hounded by bigger nations. And they know it. It is written in the Old Testament that they will be persecuted for thier beliefs.

Originally centering themsleves in the fertile crescent between the two world power houses of the pre-classical period was not the best stake in a real-estate venture. However, there is no solid proof of the Egyptians having enslaved the Hebrews unless the bible is the only proof you need. The Babylonians and Assyrians were expansionists and Israel and Judea happened to be in the way of that expansion. The Jews in fact caused much of their "discomfort" under the rule of the caesars, by constantly revolting and refusing to recognize Rome as their ruler. The Muslims, well they hate everybody. Hell, five out of six conflicts in the world (and that's being generous) is because of fundamentalist Islam.
The only plights the Jews did not cause nor did they deserve and truly are atrocities in the history of mankind are:
1) The slaying of Jews on the road to Jerusalem by the Crusaders.
2) Their ousting from Spain by Ferdinand and Isabella which provided money for Columbus to take a little trip across the Atlantic.
3) Hitler, the Holocoust, and Nazi Germany. The ugliest travisty to ever be perpetuated by humanity. The Jews were used as scape goats and murdered in droves because of it. May humanity never forget the lessons learned during WWII.

Hello,
1) Egyptians - hazy history here but speculation is that the Jews migrated into Egypt when the Hyksos were in power.
They were a northern tribe from the Iraq area that came down and conquered Egpyt holding it for 150 years+, -. Eventually there was rebellion, they got thrown out, The Jews were then considred as collaborators with Hyksos administration and treated as such.
2) The Romans overall did not hate the Jews. They initial sent them tech support when they were throwing out the Greek Kings of the Selucid Empire. Once free, there was a series of conflicts between the King and political leaders and the priestly class in Jerusalem. Something like nam, the Romans were invited and asked ti intervene by one of the parties and that they did. After 50 years of turmoil the Romans said you nitwits cannot rule yourselves so we'll keep a tab on things. The Jews though had autonomy and adopted much Roman culture. There were those like the Zealots and other groups who didn't like Roman rule and slow but surely their vibes got bigger and bigger. A few leaders over time rebelled, they starting fortifying the city of Jerusalem and a series of revolts broke out agianst Rome starting about 30 years after Christ's death. In the reign of Trajan enough was enough and they clamped down, trashed the city and deported many.
The Romans always gave people who were thinking of rebellion a few warnings, after that you really got whacked.
This sort of punishment applied to everyone and you cannot regard this as genocide.
3) German nazis - Jews always did well no matter where they went and over centuries there were jealousies and bad rumors about them. The nazis capitalized on this needing a scape goat and enemy to motivate their movment and people and during those times, many swallowed the propoganda.
4) Muslims - In their empires they had a love and hate relationship over history. At times things were ok and Jews were treated better as a rule by their Muslim overlords as opposed to Christian countries. That said, whenever Jews started getting too high on there horse as far as power and wealth were concerened they'd be clipped down a notch or two.
In recent history it is the palestinian question. Jews were migrating back there since the 1890's and more in mass after WWII. Arabs living there had their objections and tensions broke out. War started after Israel got nationhood and other Islamic states who did not really give a rat's butt about the Palestinians used them as pawns in their political games with Israel, always intensifying hatred and division.
There a books over 500 pages long that are written to answer this question but I hope this very condensed missive sheds a little light on your nquestion.
Yes, I have learned from history that they are a bright light that never can be snuffed out no matter how dark and windy it gets.

Since when did the Egyptians and the Romans hate the jews? While their is a mention of a disaster occuring under Ramses II of Egypt, there is no clear evidence supporting the Bible interpretation of historical events.

Jews are filthy uncivilised subhuman animals that don't fit living in a tolerant civilised society, that's why everyone hated them.
Learn from what ,you dirty kike? The sh*thole called israel was made by the British and the west (non-jews), jews alone would never have any power without the NON-JEWISH western powers .. and if WE (NON-KIKE WESTERNERS) didn't enable that israSH*T to become a nuclear power, Arabs would have find it easier to f*ck them anally ...
It is obvious that you filthy jews won't stop until you are all exterminated ... and I am sure it will happen sooner or later ...

But does anyone, absolutely anyone calculate / count how many Jews have been assimilated into various cultures - - - how many true blue American Evangelicals have 'Jewish' Blood. The Spanish Inquisiton established five to seven generations as the time to remove the 'stigma of being a Jew,' in other words a Jew could convert but only their children's children's children, a standard upheld by the Germans wether they were Nazis or not ....
But as for all the hate mongering directed against the Jews suffice it to say that people often hate those that refuse to assimilate - - - to give up their ways, their religious beliefs, their customs - - - as noted often by historic example Christians tend to kill people who don't accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior...

Sometimes people let fear and jealousy control their actions, and too often don't learn from past mistakes.
