Current Events > Why do people hate Jews?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like they haven't done anything to anyone... literally, throughout history, Jews always drew the short straw.

I guess it's because Hitler made them look like an easy target.

Because Cartaphilus was a dick in Ancient Magus Bride

The Rhineland massacres were slightly before that.

Jewish people were scapegoated for centuries before Hitler came around

It is only one letter away from Jaws and no one want to get eaten by a shark especially not one in a Kippah.

I personally have nothing against them. They did kill the lord and savior though.

Noticeable minorities tend to be easy scapegoats when things go bad

---

Cause mentally weak people need scapegoats. It's incredibly convenient to wrap up the answer to so many insecurities: tribalism, personal sense of worth or lack thereof, the otherwise irreducible complexity of world events; don't understand, hurts your head and your heart? Blame the Jews! Solves everything!

Palestine says hello. But Israel is mostly extreme Zionists, not actual Orthodox Jews.

If you don't find something to hate, you'll just hate yourself instead.

Blaming the Jews for killing Jesus (which is what the Catholic Church did in medieval times and I think Martin Luther had this view as well; this probably contributes a lot to antisemitism today) is pretty dumb. Jesus' death sort of had to happen. Jesus predicts his own death several times and says things like "a prophet is never accepted in his hometown." Jesus' death is basically the fulfillment of the renewal of God's covenant according to Christianity.

For wanting to have a single country the size of New Jersey with Judaism as the major religion

---

I dont hate Jews as in all Jews simply for being Jews. But I do hate some people who happen to be Jewish; not because theyre Jewish.

For example:

It's funny how people that are "Pro-Israel" tend to be the most racist towards Jews lol.

according to wikipedia, there was a handful of expulsions predating christianity, and antisemitism was quite pervasive in antiquity

after christianity emerged though, you're correct in that the expulsions and antisemitic sentiment went into overdrive

There was once a time all monotheistic people were Jewish.

By the way, Jesus came to tell us that everyone can get to heaven; not just Jews. He also told Jews that theyre not special. Theyre just assholes like everyone else.

Not so in the US at least. Regarding the UK, however, you'd be right.

Before God sent Jesus to Earth.

Judaism was not the first monotheistic religion. Zoroastrianism was the first.

a perception among many gentiles that they are a permanent fifth column in societies that aims to "subjugate" the populace and plot world domination.
Jewish people are also often small enough communities where you don't regularly meet them which means many have experiences of them only through hearsay.

Are you a Jew for Jesus or something?

they're a minority in every country they're in (besides israel) and they stand out, because they tended to not assimilate. it's like how people hate minorities in western countries that stand out and don't assimilate. jews tended to form little communities within larger ones and when things go wrong, the majority found an easy scapegoat in the form of jews. they've also been around for a long time and have been in many different countries over the past few millenia, giving them a longer and broader exposure to harassment and oppression. there's some religious aspect to it as well, but I don't think it's as major as much as them just being different

There are non-Jewish minorities in many, many countries, including Israel.

yes, like gypsies who get persecuted just as hard as jews. or maybe like the rohingya in myanmar. how about the yazidis in iraq? sikhs in india? hmong in laos and vietnam?

I dunno what point you're trying to make. I said the jews get more noticeably persecuted because they've been in like every single european and middle eastern country throughout the millennia

What can I say, were woke.

Although I have to admit, I wish more of my fellow Jews were as open minded about Israels borders. We need more diversity there as well!

Very incorrect. The persecution of Christians by Jews was pretty nasty. Just read the speech by St. Steven before the Jews stoned him to death and it's quite clear that early Christians were being rounded up by Jews quite a bit.

So, most of the Jew hate was generally done as a backlash to how nasty the Jews were to Christians when they were getting started. And, as it stands, Christianity became the prevailing religion (mostly due to some Christian Roman Emperors decreeing as such) so this was pretty bad for the Jews who had been keeping them down. Even early Roman Emperors seemed to put forth some anti-Jew legislature so they kind of pissed off the wrong people.

Of course, this all stemmed to hundreds of years and shit and hatred until it's where we are today.

I guess it's because Hitler made them look like an easy target.

Was partly political since he blamed the "Jews in charge" that resulted in Germany's loss in WWI. It's all propaganda but it was a way for him to divert blame and get support for the Third Reich. I'm not even sure that was really about religion since he seemed to dislike all religions and there's some items written that Hitler was planning on purging Christianity in the same way after the war.

-I personally have nothing against them. They did kill the lord and savior though.
-...that was the Romans, Jesus was Jewish.

The country it took place was the Roman Empire but the Empire at the time allowed multiple religions and cultures for the various areas it ruled over...this includes Judaism and their own pagan religion with multiple gods. If a country or state had Jewish leadership, they were allowed to rule their area as long as they paid tribute to the Empire.

So, yes, it was the Roman Empire in charge but it was clearly Jewish leadership who took issue with Jesus in Jerusalem. They've looked at clippings from Roman times and it's believed there were small reports of uprising in Jerusalem but nothing specific and there's no evidence Emperor Nero had anything to do with Jesus's death.

I said the jews get more noticeably persecuted because they've been in like every single european and middle eastern country throughout the millennia

They get better press as well and other groups don't have an example of the UN just stealing land for an entire ethnicity and handing it to them. They promised the same thing to the Kurds and didn't deliver it...had they done so would there be just as much hate for the new Kurd Country as there is for Israel? Debateable.
