The real reason why jews are despised?

I really would like to know why the Jews are so deeply hated. I used to think that it may have been because they were supposed to be Yahweh's chosen people, but now I'm starting to wonder if it is due to something else, something deeper... Is there an legitimate reason for this?

    I don't hate Jewish or any other for that matter. I AM very unhappy with their actions concerning Palestine as should EVERYONE be. APAK sucks and the God of Abraham isn't God at all it's Lucifer/Giver of light/and many others but it's NOT God. If you want to SEE God just go look in the mirror. EVERYTHING IS GOD and each of you a BEAUTIFUL, and unique expression of Love. God is Love ALL OF IT and it's time for ALL of the Angels to awaken. I AM is the true name of God so look in the mirror and say it! Then WE can fix this mess together as the "One Beautiful Love" that we truly are. Love to you ALL!

    What if they're not despised and deeply hated and what you suggest? What if people are fair?

    Jew's cause Germany to lose the first world war and ruined them economically. Hitler set about killing them all as any trace would keep them going. Jews wanted to centralise all banks and get a cut of all loans. In the end the jews just got sympathy and got given a country by the UN, which was stolen from Palestinians (hence they hate Jews). Basically Jews exploit all those around them for their own benefit.

    Historically, the Jews have just always been the go to scapegoats. They crucified Jesus, you know. Blah blah blah...

      I never understood that whole "they crucified Jesus" thing, even as a Christian :/

      I mean...the whole idea is he died to redeem all believers...so...blah.

      I just don't get it.

        They chose Jesus to die. But he was supposed to die to save the Christians. Romans physically killed him. It was God's plan. Jesus died for Christians' sins. Christians committed those sins. So Christians killed Jesus with their sins.

        • Christianity didn't exist for a long time afterwards. Also anybody who said jews killed Jesus was somehow misinformed. The romans did.

            Romans physically did it. Jew's had it done. All part of God's plan according to Christians. Think abstractly.

            • I've never understood what the jews had to do with it, but I haven't read the whole bible either. I don't believe in all the religious stuff but I think it's possible Jesus was a real person who existed although pretty much any history that old gets messed up after time.

          Exactly.

          And they're kinda meant to be grateful about it...

          Not that all "blame" it on the Jews, just I don't understand the logic of those who do and act like it's some atrocity.

          Jesus was a Jew and so were his followers. Christianity took a while to develop and it happened after Jesus' death and resurrection.

    Because they are the "chosen people", they believe they can use Gentiles for unethical purposes.

    I don't hate Jews at all but I've heard a lot of people say it's because they were the first big bankers who charged lots of interest and that they love money and are ok with usury. Not that usurps a thing anymore...lol. Most of the people I know who hate Jews...it's because they think of them as conniving and money grubbing. So, stereotype.

    For some reason people often to choose to hate or fear people who are different and Jews when they dis not have a country had to live as being different from the majority of the population----It is sort of the same with pacifists or American Indians or people committed to an unusual belief----But i admit the holocost put the Jews in a different catergory than other groups in its cruelity---I have read alot about it but I still do not understand how anti Jewish sentiment could be so strong among an otherwise civilized people

    Because they're a disproportionately successful people. Add to that that they're different, which by default means a little weird, and people get jealous, angry and hate-y. Einstein was a Jew. Freud was a Jew. Marx was a Jew. Even Elvis freakin Presley was a Jew. Can't deny all four of those people did a fuck tonne to shape the world as we know it today.

    Stop the hate for our Jewish brethren, they're giving more than most.

    Honestly, I think it's mainly because they're smart, so they often end up more successful than the people around them. They do sometimes have an us-against-them mentality, but not necessarily more than other religious or cultural groups.

    I'd say most modern anti-simetic feelings are a consequence of religious dispute, Zionism as well as the related Palestinian/Israel conflict.

    There are also some residual racist beliefs amongst some that ethnically Jewish people are predisposed to being greedy, miserly and manipulative.

    Well okay I will list a few reasons why. Not that I am saying you should hate Jews or all the listed are good reasons.

    1.The Jews sacrificed Jesus
    2.The Jews often own/work at things like banks(Influence, money, success)
    3.The Jews have for a long time been a very successful people
    4.The Jews chose to stay in Israel despite being surrounded by everyone who wants to destroy or blow them up
