How are Jewish people oppressed?

Question

How are Jewish people oppressed?
My definition of oppressed is not having power or money. The Jews are dissproportionatly in power and are financially successful. Jews are colonialists and were never affected by colonialism like India has been. I as a Muslim Indian know that the Jews are full of _______

The British colonized India you moron

They want the end of Israel because it is a colonialist state!!! It is the same reason all other Africans hated South Africa

Answer 1

The Jews have been persecuted by different ethnicities and religions for years. Now they or rather the Zionists in Israel are turning the tables and persecuting the Palestinians and rest of the Arabs and Muslims in the middle East. They are now using the same tatics that on the Muslims that the Nazis used on their ancestors in WW2.

Answer 2

Very few Jews are oppressed today mainly because Jews picked themselves up by the bootstraps and recovered from the Holocaust making it a priority to NEVER allow such unimaginable horror to happen again to any people on earth.

Jews have been hated, oppressed, and expelled from countries around the world for many centuries. They were hated for being poor -- they were hated for being rich. They were hated for being assertive -- they were hated for being submissive. There is no logical reason why Jews have been hated since the advent of Christianity. It appears your reason for hatred is that they are successful...

Answer 3

thankfully jews no longer have to worry very much about oppression. this is due to the fact that the jews have finally left europe and the islamic world behind for good, with no plans of ever returning. at this point in time the majority of the world's jewish population lives either in the US or in israel, where we do not have to worry about being oppressed.

Answer 4

Who claims that they are being oppressed now?

Historically they have been. That is a fact. The holocaust, the treatment of Jews in Russia, the inquisition, the treatment of Jews by the Catholic church even outside the times of the inquisition, all the way back to their treatment by the Romans.

BTW, you have a really poor definition of oppression. I would suspect that it it based on ignorance and a desire to justify the preconceptions that you have been given.

Do you think Muslims are oppressed? Because by your definition Al 'fugger' Fayed proves that you are not.

Answer 5

Throughout history Jews have been oppressed.
In Xian countries they were not allowed to own land or practice any profession other than money lending.
The Nazis murdered 6 million Jews during the Holocaust.
The ones who escaped from Europe were lucky to have the clothes on their backs.
Please read some history before you make any more ignorant statements.

Answer 6

You affected by colonialism like India was subjected to with Islam? At least the Jews avoided that travesty.

Edit-----
Oh, the Mughals were British. You're right, I'm the moron.

Answer 7

jews are not all walking money bags.

Unlike kyle broflofsky they don't carry hidden sacks of gold around thier necks.

unlike muslims, jews don't piss me off because they pretty much keep to themselves and don't force thier beliefs on others or blow up innocent people.

jews in america might be the butt of prejudice like any minority.

in other countries, like any minority however they are oppressed as they are probably actively sought after and killed.

in third world countries this kind of crap still goes on against minorities and those not in power.

Answer 8

Hmm, let's see... thrown out of almost every country they've ever been in (Spain, for example)... six million slaughtered during the Holocaust... the subject of unceasing prejudice and hatred since the founding of Christianity... Israel surrounded by neighbors on all sides who would like nothing better than to push her into the sea...

ARE YOU GETTING ANY OF THIS ??????????????

Answer 9

"Disproportionately in power and are financially successful"
WHAT AN IGNORANT STATEMENT.

Could it POSSIBLY be that people who reach powerful positions WORK HARD?
And that FINANCIAL SUCCESS is the result of the discipline, studiousness, and work ethics that we instill in our children from the time they are born???
Is that REALLY so hard to believe?

Well if it is, too bad.
Because it's true.

Get off your *** and do the same, and maybe my kids won't bypass you by the time they're 22.

But I'm pretty certain they will...
After all, that discipline, education and ethics they are being taught might make them DISPROPORTIONATELY SUCCESSFUL.
