Someone please explain the historical hatred of Jews...

History shows jews have been kicked out of almost every country they have ever resided in.

Some of the common reasons are usury and jews generally being in charge of the financial institutions, real estate, and banks.

EDIT: I post this from a neutral perspective. Please do not misinterpret my post as being anti-jewish, I am simply citing the reasons that historians would cite.

As an ethic people Jews have the highest IQ. People are always jelly of what they don’t have themselves.

Judeo-christians are the conscience of the world. Immoral and corrupt world hates hearing that they're wrong.

So I always took this as they are smart and get into controlling these things. Seems like most are lawyers as well.

At least for the European experience:

1. Jews were long insular, easily identified and maintained many of their "other" status cultural traditions, through the European pagan and early Christian period. Much like the Gypsies, Jews were always easy to identify and (where convenient) scapegoat.

2. After the Templars created "modern" international banking and corporations, they were deleted by a French king and willing Pope. Christian restrictions on usury allowed Jews to fill that vacuum for, particularly, international finance (as they had no such religious restrictions).

3. While European nationalism certainly plays a part, the role that prominent Jews played in the early Communist, anti-Royal movements across the continent certainly led to more nationalistic, xenophobic reactions (and scapegoating) to them for various woes (regardless of their actual culpability), culminating in the Nazi Holocaust.


The ME/SW Asian version is going to take longer, but that's my best first take for your "short version please".

'm so glad you brought this up. This has needed to be discussed for a long time, and we are the very first people to do so, and will definitely get to the bottom of it.

Take note, world.

Because God designated the Jews as his people, Satan wants them exterminated.

This is something I dont understand

Why would the Jews still be God's people if they reject his son?

Most religions prohibit usury, but jews are allowed to charge interest to the goyim(non jews). This obviously caused a lot of problems.

Hitler when he got into power took on the banks, which were mostly jewish owned in Germany. This caused the international jewry to declare war on Germany, which is why Hitler began to issue yellow stars to jews and send them to camps - he viewed them as an enemy combatant.

Moreso than any other sect.

There are lots of groups that have been persecuted for various reasons, but Jews have survived that persecution, for whatever reason. That persecution gave Jewish peoples a shared identity, history and a set of experiences which have made them distrustful of non-Jewish peoples.

Historical hatred of Jews has moved in a couple of phases. First there was anti-Jewish feeling, which is distinct from antisemitic feeling, as it was based on religion alone rather than ethnic grouping. That religious feeling changed to a more general ethnic one once Europeans themselves saw themselves as ethnic groups, which was based on a shared language, culture, and religious feeling. The latter, racial antisemitism, has been the most destructive, in my view, because it allowed Europeans to wash their hands of the general antisemitic feeling that characterized European-Jewish interaction for much of history. Not only did it lead to the greatest loss of life, but it also somehow erased the degree to which there was a general antisemitic feeling in all of Europe, a feeling which helped create a situation where the massive loss of life could occur.

Well Islam and the Catholic church both considered lending and collecting interest as usury whereas Jewish culture sees it as perfectly fine (and most would agree today that it is). That's a big issue that the first post nailed. The Jewish people have also always fought for their land in a very contested environment that led to a lot of historical butting of heads between cultures and religions.

The newest thing to hate the Jews for is the belief that they control the financial institutions and media (going back to Germany in WWI, but probably before that as well).

That and the belief that Jews will subvert the nation they are in to benefit themselves or the holy land also heavily ties into it.

I'm sure that like every case there are and have been situations where all of these have been true but to say the entire Jewish people are like that would be wrong.
