    I am Jewish. Jews are hatred for many reasons. Jews are hatred for not assimilating .Jews and Israel are hated for their great achievements.Jews are unfairly blamed for the death of Jesus,Jews did not kill Jesus it was the Roman high officials, In the Middle Ages Islam and Christianity had rules against usury (earning interest on a loan) ,Jews were forced to be moneylenders as their only legal profession (the root of many money based stereotypes of Jews) The Nazis had persecuted the Jews based on a false concept of race ,racial antisemitism .Wilhelm Marr the anti-Jewish writer who coined the term antisemitism meant only Jews not other Semites like Arabs

    Anti-Semitism is the intense dislike or prejudice against Jewish people who have faced persecutions , discrimination and expulsions throughout the world in different times and generations. Who is a Jew is a question in itself and is hating them is an influence of the effect derived from history that we’ve become conditioned to accept and follow. Given below is a compilation of one of the root causes why people have come to hate them as a race much like the Kurds and Armenians that were too resented and exterminated.

    Historians have classified six explanations as to why people hate the Jews:

    Economic -- "We hate Jews because they possess too much wealth and power."

    Chosen People -- "We hate Jews because they arrogantly claim that they are the chosen people."

    Scapegoat -- "Jews are a convenient group to single out and blame for our troubles."

    Deicide -- "We hate Jews because they killed Jesus."

    Outsiders, -- "We hate Jews because they are different than us." (The dislike of the unlike.)

    Racial Theory -- "We hate Jews because they are an inferior race."

    It goes back into biblical times and it's evil. Jews have suffered more than any other group in my opinion other than ***** slaves.

    Historically, a lot of Christians hate Jews because they blame them for killing Jesus. Which is pretty stupid since they also believe Jesus was sent to Earth to die for their sins. So obviously someone had to kill Him, otherwise the whole thing would have been a wash-out.
