      Hitler, the people who made them build the pyramids, the conspiracy theory forum ect. ect.

      Why all the hate towards them, why not hate the Croatians? :confused:

      The Romans actually killed Jesus (if he even existed) and yet no-one hates the Romans.

      The Roma and Romanians get a bad time of it though, maybe people got confused.

      At the time everybody hated the romans.

      I've actually had some people genuinely claim this (and berate me for it)- the RC church only formally repudiated the idea in 1965.

      As a Jew myself, the reasons I have found people most commonly have for hating Jews have been a mix of:
      - a sense of suspicion towards Jews due to the insularity and small size of the Jewish community
      - jealousy towards Jews' (real or perceived) success
      - acceptance of Jewish stereotypes which have been propagated in the media
      - hatred towards Israel

      For anyone who is genuinely interested in the subject, I'd highly recommend "Antisemitism: The Longest Hatred" by Robert Solomon Wistrich

      Jokes need to be funny or clever, that was neither. Hence the 'not getting it was a joke' bit.

      People hate Jews because of their behaviour in this world. They think they are the superior race, 'those created and chosen by God'. They don't want anything to do with you or anyone of a different culture. They manipulate whatever they can, these days on a global scale.

      The Germans hunted them. The English hunted them. The Romans hunted them. And the Egyptians enslaved them.

      This isn't coincidence. These things all happened for reasons. They move into a country and feck it up so bad that the natives start hating them and then the inevitable happens.

      Because they are different? A lot of people are backward who don't like the idea of anyone different.

      Historically Jews were bankers in Europe.

      In the middle ages the church forbade Christians to charge interest (usury as it was then known), Jews were allowed to charge this and so became prominent in the banking sector.

      Even into the 17 & 18th century European nations had 'court Jews' who acted like a minister for finance.

      As far as I know there are still a lot of wealthy Jewish families linked to banking and it's associated activities.

      I'd imagine this is where the hatred came from. Is it justified, no of course not.

      ... and this, everyone, is what we call; Classic Antisemitism

      How are people even debating the existence of Jesus? :confused: It is pretty much guaranteed fact that he did exist; it's just all that other stuff that people can quite rightly be sceptical about.
