https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_antisemitism

1. Pre-Christian anti-Judaism in Ancient Greece and Rome which was primarily ethnic in nature
2. Christian antisemitism in antiquity and the Middle Ages which was religious in nature and has extended into modern times
3. Muslim antisemitism which wasat least in its classical formnuanced, in that Jews were a protected class
4. Political, social and economic antisemitism during the Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment Europe which laid the groundwork for racial antisemitism
5. Racial antisemitism that arose in the 19th century and culminated in Nazism
6. Contemporary antisemitism which has been labeled by some as the new antisemitism

Wonder why all the stuff that happened before the Holocaust doesnt get mentioned much.

throughout history, there have been many Christians who blamed Jewish people for Jesus' death.

then in the Middle Ages, I think, Jewish people were allowed to do some business/banking practices Christians weren't allowed, so even though they were seen as being necessary, they also had negative baggage attached to them.

The pyramids werent built by Jewish slaves. Thats just a Bible story.

OMG THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW!

Reading Count of Monte Cristo and Edmond says he went visit a Jew to check certain jewels and money and I was like "Damn that's some harsh shit"

Wow, that makes so much sense and no wonder it was so blatant.

Bingo! There have been so many rulers in Egypt and I think even there have been Hebrews in power. For some reason, they made Moses, a heroic legend, to look up to. Hell, it wouldn't make sense for Egyptians to blatantly take one type of people and make them slaves because the way they work slavery is that its useful for those in debt or suffering war crimes. But to just say "These people of that faith need to be imprisoned and forced to work!" Hell, working on the pyramids was even a great honor.

Egypt was such a source of power and a hub of the world...but yeah...

I mean the Bible did have some more obvious fictional moments. Like in order to escape Moses parted a sea lol. So Im not surprised if they lied about the Slavery stuff.

IIRC the bible plagiarized Noah's Flood from Gilgamesh as well.

I swear that there was a part of the Red Sea that actually parted on its own through some sort of phenomena or tide. Someone told me that they had seen it on Discovery or History channel or something years ago. I'm not even too sure.

it's so weird to me because i've never known someone is jewish until they told me. it's hard for me to wrap my head around what a jewish person "is" aside from a white person

Moses spent much of his youth in the wilderness, so it wouldn't be entirely surprising if he knew about the tides and a part of the region that could be walked through during low tide but that would rise a lot after a few hours. It was in some history channel special like "battles of the Bible" or whatever.

You don't see many or if any Jewish person here. I live in the South and the new owners of our apartment building are Jewish.(hell the only reason I knew was because the leasing office was closed for a Jewish holiday which was a total bitch)

Yeah, although I doubt Moses existed since it seemed to exist as some legend in the bible as its been talked of over the years.

Id like you to take a step back from this comment for a moment and think about how non-Christians feel about everything being closed on Christmas.

Post #5 is pretty wild.

The non biblical archeological theory is that the Hebrews were never even outside Israel. The whole journey to find a homeland never happened. Its believed that the Hebrews are the same people the Bible claims they conquered to gain Israel. They used to be pagan with many gods. At some point there was a culture shift and they changed to one god. Centuries later they probably wrote down mythical tales of their origins as a people. I don't believe Book of Exodus happened at all and yes, Moses probably never existed

Theyre an easy scapegoat for anyone in power

why take responsibility or solve problems when you can just blame everything on the other

I love this kind of conversation. Its my favorite discussion. Not debunking bible shit but discussing the origins of tales and words and such. I wonder why they came up with these type of tales in the first place. It feels like some kind of folktale you'd need to keep hope up.

I mean, as a non Christian...lol But I love Asian food and they're always open no matter what.

I have a hard time believing that people didn't know anti-semitism existed prior to the Nazis. Literally any cursory study of European would tell you that the Jews have never had an easy lot there. All the Nazis did was take all the pogroms, prejudice, and repression to it's logical conclusion.

The Egyptian slave thing never happened. There is no record of it outside the Bible. The whole story of Exodus is fiction most likely

Europeans bought into the whole myth of Jesus being killed by Jews. Which never made sense to me. I have a personal theory that the original story was Romans ordered his execution and then later on when more and more Romans were becoming Christians, it got awkward so they changed the story and said the Jews did it
