Why is there so much hatred towards Jews?

coren111

Oh it's you again. This person is an uneducated troll. Israel's actions (whatever you may think of them) have nothing to do with Judaism or worldwide Jewry. The government on the whole is almost entirely secular.

Yes but there can be no denying, and this is the relevant point, that a lot of anti-semitism is fuelled by what is going on in Israel/Palestine.

Do I ******* sound like im joking... what's wrong with me having an opinion.... they just indoctrinate children from early age in school/history lessons, to make everyone think they were being oppresed a lot.

Yes you do sound like your joking, indoctrination? How do you explain away Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen and the gaping big holes in Jewish peoples, including my own, family trees?

Lol even if that were the case (which it's not - most Jewish children actually go to regular comprehensive or independent schools) it would be 1000 times better than teaching kids to hate people of another race and learning how to fire a gun and set up a suicide belt at the age of eight.

I had a friend at my old school called Mohammed Abubaker, but he was clever and nice. You are the complete opposite.

Yes at the age of 18. This is do defend the country from the terrorists you support.

How very welcoming, I have indeed come!
I am always confused - Is Israel run by America or America run by Israel? Can't both be the case and as haters interchange between the two they are fools. Jews don't control most of the global media, but individual Jewish people have high ranking positions in media in US and UK, which is completely different. If you are implying Jews conspire to control the media then you are an anti-Semite and I hope you choke on your lunch, but not die, because you and your stupid comments actually put Jews in a good light (by showing how dumb anti-Semites are).

One saying that Jews control the media does not make one an anti-Semite. A Semite does not automatically pertain to Jews by the way. You base your whole argument on me being anti-Semitic when I am not. My 'stupid' comments aren't actually stupid and they don't put Jews in a good light. They were simply a response as to why I think there's so many hatred towards Jews. In fact, your response for me to choke on my lunch reinforces the stereotype of Jews being aggressive and overly defensive, when they in fact are not being attacked.

PAR.

Why do you believe this, 50% of American Jews marry non-jews, and think of the huge number of Jewish celebrities;

-Amy Winehouse
-Sacha Baron Cohen
-Rachel Stevens
-Daniel Radcliffe
-Nigella Lawson
-Stephen Fry
-Mark Ronson
-Sharon Osbourne
-Steven Spielberg
-Simon Amstell
-Woody Allen
-Adam Sandler

Just to mention some hardly not "socialising with out cultures" (whatever that means).

What's important in evaluating why there is anti-semitism is perception. Most people dont know these people are Jewish. Indeed these people are mostly Jewish ethnically. It's irrelevant as most anti-Semitism is aimed at the religious Jews. They certainly don't trumpet their Jewishness.

And Jews, in London at least, are incredibly cliquey. I know because I used to hang out with them. It's a very small community where everyone knows everyone (by max 1 degree of separation). There is not the same integration and spread throughout the classes that you see with Muslims, Christians and Hindus.

It has nothing to do with Judaism or Jewish people.

Some Christians hold Jews responsible for the death of Jesus. It amazes me that people don't realise that. Have you not read the bible or been taught anything about it?!

it doesn't matter, surely if they're supposed to go at age 18, their parents are feeding very hateful and militaristic rhetoric from a young age.

Didn't Jewish terrorists kill English people?

The Israel/Palestine conflict has nothing to do with Judaism or Jewish people?

That is clearly wrong because it has something to do with that. If it weren't for WWII then Israel wouldn't exist as it does now.

In any event this is irrelevant because the two are linked in people's minds. Or at least those people who are anti-Semitic. What we are doing here is finding an explanation not a justification for anti-Semitism. If you go looking for the latter you'll never find it.

Not true at all. You obviously have no idea about Israeli culture. People don't like going to the army but feel they have to so they can live in peace.

What are you trying to imply ? That we muslims, teach our kids to be suicide bombers. See this type of mentality of yours is what I really hate. How can you constitute the wrong-doing of a minority to be as if the whole community is responsible, and don't give me that ******** about, thew quran tells muslims to kill the unbelievers, because it is completely taken out of context. I have also met a lot of Jews, most of them which are very friendly, you seriously need to learn from your fellow people.

People don't hate Jews because they hate Israel. They hate Israel because they hate Jews. Some criticism of Israel is justified, but the level of hatred that is leveled against it can only stem from something more sinister than a genuine concern for the rights of the Palestinians. Far more people have died in Sri Lanka and Sudan than in Gaza - why do people not care about those areas? Britain and the UK killed far more people in wars which can hardly be described as defensive than Israel has done in fights for its very existence. Why is it Israel that is singled out for boycotts by trade unions and called a "Nazi" state? Anti-semitism.

I'm a non-Jew, by the way. I find it slightly sad that I now have to qualify myself thus, in order to avoid accusations of a conspiracy to brainwash the world, Protocols of the Elders of Zion style.

So do all the countries in red, the countries in yellow are planning to abolish it, the blue ones have a wholly professional military and the ones in green have no military.

Thus Israel is hardly alone, plus considering the hostility of it's neighbor's it is completely understandable why it would wish to have a large trained military reserve.

Why is there so much hatred towards Jews?
