Where is all the hate are coming from? |
Travel Info Well I have to admit that I do not like the politics of the "State of Israel" but that does NOT mean that I have anything against Israelis/Jews. Question: Why are so many people of different nationalities can not get along with Jews? What's behind this? Look at Jews living in former Russia, East Europe, Germany etc. Why was it that the majority never liked them? Even way before the state of Israel was created. I would like to know why many nationalities did not like Jews even before they had their own state. Please let me know your point of view. Travel Tips I guess my answers were rude, so my account got deleted. I opened this new one, and will try to be nicer (though it is sometimes so hard) It is a mystery to me as well. I guess the only way I explain it for myself is that Jews have always been the outsiders for the nations they lived among. They always had very organized way of life. Often native communities saw Jews as a threat (and rightfully so in many cases). Sometimes, when you don't understand something, you choose not to like it instead of learning about it. Germans, in tsarist Russia, have been in the similar situation, you know. They too experienced pogroms. Why? Because they were better employees, and their work ethic far exceeded a work ethic of your average Russian. So, people got together and went on a killing and stuff-breaking spree under the slogan "Germans take our jobs!" when the reality was "Germans do our jobs much better then us, and we would be smart to learn from them, but we choose to be stupid and hateful." Take a bad German person and compare him to a bad Jewish person - they are both pieces of crap. Take a really nice German person, and compare him to a really nice Jewish person - they both are good people. Jews are no worse and no better then the rest of the people. Most Jews are afraid to be labeled as greedy, and are acting in the opposite direction to that label, but it still doesn鈥檛 save them. I do have another theory as to why Jews are always hated, and I know you will probably think it is silly, but I'll say it anyway - Jews are meant to be Jews. People start hating Jews the most when Jews forget who they are, and try to blend in with the others. That is when anti-Semitism wakes up, and shows its ugly teeth. In other words, I think that anti-Semitism is G-d's way of keeping us Jewish. Respect. P.S. To all those that accuse Christianity or Islam: anti-Semitism started long before Jesus' death, and definably long before Mohamed had his beef with the Jews. Others hate the goverment, hate the president Im american (born and raised) and muslim and proud of it and I have nothing against jews. I believe these radical groups like hezbollah give all muslims a bad name I'm fed up with every form of discrimination there is. Really, I dont even CARE where it started, it needs to end. This is the 21st century and our planet will never evolve if we can't learn to work together. Did you ever think, that if all the great masterminds of the world worked together, we would get so much more done? We could be finding other planets like ours by now! But no. People are too busy going to war, discriminating against race, religion, and gender, and even making fun of other people in high school to get anything worthwhile done. Morrie Schwartz once said, "Love always wins." My question is, why can't people understand that? Why can't we be peaceful enough towards each other to accomplish the inevitable? That's just what I think. People hate Jews for the same reason they hate the United States...they're jealous of the rich and powerful. One of my best friends since Kindergarten is Jewish...and he and his whole family are some of the coolest people I've ever known... But it wouldn't matter what their heritage is... I'd still love 'em... It probably just boils down to border disputes...Europe is a crazy shape, with a lot of different people all trying to draw a line in the proverbial sand... Mother Earth has no borders, however, except the sky... Maybe one day, everyone will realize that, and all the killing will stop... And we'll all get along as neighbors and friends... (sigh) I will give you a straight forward answer People fear what they do not know. The Jews in Europe as well in the Middle East and North Africa. Maintained a culture as well as religious practices that were different from those around them. It did not matter if they were rich or poor, Socialists or Capitalists. They were feared and thus hated because they were different. The same thing happened to the Gypsies, people attack what they do not know. Simply out of fear of the unknown. |
