Christians see Jews as people who will be sent to hell because they don't believe Jesus has been born yet or something. So calling someone a Jew is an insult.

When someone uses the term "Jew" as an insult, they are usually referring to the long-standing stigma that Jewish people are greedy money-grubbers, who will do anything to trick you out of a buck. So, if someone says you are a "jew," they probably mean that you just ripped them off.

Calling someone a Jew is an insult. They forced Palestinians out of their homes and stole their land and agricultural land. Killing many. They also run the economy in USA with their backwards ways.

are you for real?
The Israelites who live in Israel claim to be the real Jews - the original Jews of the bible, so they use that as their claim for exterminating the palestinians. In the last 200 years however, many jews have moved around the world (mostly to USA) and are now in positions of being able to influence governments to be sympathetic to them, and to listen to their lies.

Neither do I. They say it as if it should be an insult... but I doubt and real Jewish people find being Jewish something to be ashamed of.
I suppose its the same as calling someone any racist slur, it just shows the ignorance of the person doing the name calling.

This is somthing I get mad about alot. The Jews have been critisized for many years because racist people acuse the of killing jesus, or not beliving in him, or being greedy, but you have to understand that no religion is wrong, but hell is real, so they might just burn in it if they aren't carfull! But as a joke its probably from south park or somthing, as long as they both know for sure its a joke I see no problem with it.

you have to be jewish to understand. And if you arent, I would suggest never ever saying it. It is like not being black and saying the n word to a black person. just dont go there..
It is about personality types of jews. and quite funny if you are jewish.

South Park. I love that show, it has some good political things to say but that is the worst thing to come from it.
