I think that the jews have suffered the most in history?

Question

i mean think about it. and for the ppl that tell me to use spell check,,, go spell check your name

Answer 1

Yes jews are certainly up there and thanks to the christians tweaking the bible taking the blame of jesus death out of the hands of the romans and putting it squarely on the jews .

Answer 2

The most? More than the Mung? More than the Turkish Armenian genocide? More than all the people we'll never hear about in ancient history who were captured and tortured in the name of some other tribe's bloody little god?

I know the Jews have sufferend greatly and that's unspeakable tragedy. I think you might be tempted to say that because history has publicized the holocaust so well. But that doesn't mean others have suffered unimaginable things in other places and times.

But when you're talking about suffering of this kind of size and magnitude, I think it's impossible to quantify it and compare it to "lesser" sufferers.

That kinda demeans everybody involved, I think.

Answer 3

I do think the Jews have suffered in history. But every race has suffered in History. But did the ancient Jews suffer because they were the chosen people, probably yes.
But remember that no group of people are "innocent" in history. The jews have brought some things upon themselves.

Answer 4

No, but most of the ones I know are convinced that they're the most widely-suffering people in the world. Lots of non-Jewish people suffer and have suffered throughout the history of humanity; and most of the people suffering today are not Jewish. Most people will attempt to cite the Holocaust, but forget that Jews were a little over half of the people who died in the Holocaust. About 6 million of the dead were Jewish by belief or by family; the other 5 million weren't Jewish at all. Nor is that the only genocide the world's ever seen.

Answer 5

I'm not willing to agree with that statement. The Jewish people, according to historical, and archeologic documents, and events, are probably the most persecuted people that we know of at this point in time.
However, there could be other civilizations throughout history who were persecuted, and exterminated by enemies that we don't know about, so thoroughly, that we may never find out about their existance......at least not yet.
It took hundreds of years of discovery to become aware of ancient civilizations, who could have been responsible for the disappearance of others before them. I don't think we know all there is to know right now.

Answer 6

True...

Answer 7

Well there are some groups of people who were alive say, 400 years ago, but are no longer existing today, because of imperialism. For example: Arawak Indians.

As for Jews, yes they have greatly suffered, but they have also been given the greatest spiritual opportunities.

Answer 8

Overall, the poor and powerless have suffered the most throughout history. Some of these were Jews.

Answer 9

True, Jews have suffered an awful lot. But there are also other races/religions that were prosecuted throughout history.

Answer 10

Really? What about what's has been and is still going on in Africa? So no, I don't think the Jews have suffered the most in history..........next

Answer 11

Is it racist or a opinion if I say the Jew's killed Jesus? To the best of my knowledge I know they refused to except Jesus as the Son of God. With jealousy the Jew's had Jesus killed. They sure found out they were wrong when Jesus risen! Some Jew's now except Jesus and that's good.
