I seriously want to know, why do so many hate the Jewish people? I know they have since Bible times, which even reading it, I still don't get it. Any insight would be appreciated.
I always thought of fried chicken as a southern thing.
Aren’t “soul” food and southern food pretty much the same thing?
Thank you so much!
Of course there's at least one stereotype that's sometimes associated with Jews...at least in more recent times.
The Jews were the bankers and money lenders due to both Islam and the Church prohibiting interest on loans, so the money would be funneled to Jewish bankers, authorized by the Kings to be money lenders. This led to abuses such as those outlined in Oliver Twist and Ebineezer Scrooge. Jealousy and envy followed them, and the “they killed Jesus” became the mantra of organized Christianity.
Islam accepted the Jews until they returned to Israel. For a while there were good relationships until Israel turned a barren desert into a thriving country. Then, with Islam seeing Judaism being a threat to the holy places of Islam (Dome on the Rock, etc), it became war to the knife.
Napoleon once said that the greatest proof that God exists is the survival of the Jewish people.
Paraphrasing, Jesus told his disciples something to the effect of “the world hates me, so don’t be surprised when they hate you”.
Christians are different to regular worldly people. I suppose Jews are, too. I know they place a great deal of emphasis on education. I guess those reasons are why, as a people, they tend to be successful. Success begats jealousy and resentment. . . and they are a little different to most folks . . . as are good practicing Christians.
Envy at their success. The average Jew has known the Three Rs for thousands of years. They’ve done a better job at teaching their young.
Goes a little deeper, I think. Since the Jews play a key role in the end times Satan thinks that by destroying them he can thwart God’s plans, just as he thought killing Jesus would derail God’s aims. You gotta give Ol’ Nick credit for persistence.
Where does the Bible say that unbelieving Jews are his chosen people?
**********
Who says all Jews are “unbelievers?” All religious Jews “believe in” Messiah. They also know that Jesus existed. They just don’t believe that Jesus was that Messiah, though many have had a change of heart.
Most Christians don’t believe they are obligated to obey Torah yet God says he will write it on our hearts. Unbelief goes both ways. Paul stated that we see through the glass darkly.
All will now the knee to Messiah.
Because, historically, demoncrats are natural-born haters and racists...
Yes, they are the same thing except “soul” food has a narrower “bandwidth”.
Southern food overlaps and includes “soul” food but has many more items - everything from a Lane cake to cornbread dressing to shrimp creole.
Because of the rules of the Torah, Jews were reluctant to assimilate into societies. They refused to eat foods given to other gods. They were reluctant to marry foreign women. In short, they stayed out on the fringe. Naturally, it was easy to make them the scapegoat. If you had a plague, it was probably the Jews. Crops failed? Jews. Economy tanked. Guess who, the Jew.
Because they didn’t really assimilate, it was hard to get political loyalty from them. They stood up for the underdog because they knew they were the next underdog. They didn’t as much oppose the government as refuse to walk in locked step.
Hitler used the most common tactic. He blamed them for everything that went wrong. It was easier for the Gentiles to go along with it than do any research and risk reprisals. Anti-Semitism is solely based on the person’s ignorance of the truth and willingness to believe any lie. When you are holding the proverbial hammer, every Jew is not a nail. Every nail is a Jew. It’s just that easy for them. Every bank president is a Jew because you can’t be a bank President unless you are Jew. That’s the way they think.
It's a chicken & egg problem: who starts the conflict? Jews always claim they are the victims, yet every society that has expelled them (numbering in dozens) has cited financial exploitation and corruption.
For instance, the language & rationale of England's expulsion was virtually replicated verbatim 202 years later in Spain (1492). Btw, the usury linkage is just a red herring; the actual intent has been to break the cabal.
That's because the basic issue is rooted in the banking system's reliance on a close network of associates. Tribes, clans, families etc represent the perfect formula. But it's not only the Jews who (have) dominate(d) banking. Way back in the day, the Venetians, then the Medici (Florentine bankers to the Church), British royal families, Rockefellers, et al have all taken their turn at the wheel of fortune.
So, it really comes back to attacking the most vulnerable. Jews are a ready target, but not the only ones. For instance, Friday the 13th is famous because that's when the king of France seized the Knights Templars' hoard and summarily executed the lot of them:

Believe it’s mostly Biblical and spiritual. However, my last girlfriend was Jewish and I spent many weekends and Jewish holidays with her relatives in Philadelphia.
Most of the conversations were about business, opportunities, financial connections etc. I love the Jewish people but it was a very opening experience for me. The stereotype basically proved true to me at least.
So it’s us Israelis fault?
Hate to break it to you but Hitler predated our little ethnic state.
And, for the record, I’m totally game for ethnic states. Or at least getting control of non-westerners mass emigrating to western counties.
Your brush is too broad. Judaism is far more diverse than NYC loud mouth liberals.
The Bible teaches that the Jews are God’s chosen people, for the purpose of carrying out his redemptive plan. Because they are God’s chosen, Satan hates them and has sought to destroy them even to this day. Persecution of Jews is the essence of evil.
I may be back late tonight or sometime tomorrow.
It goes back further than that even. Eventually, Egypt enslaved them.
It is a spiritual deception to hate them. The satan has sought to annihilate them from the beginning, even though Adam and Eve weren’t religiously Jewish, but they were under the direct command of God.
It would take a few years for Judah,the son of Israel,(Jacob) to be born. The evil one was hell bent on their destruction from the beginning.
This is the oldest line of people in the world, and God continues to bless them with prosperity, leadership and innovation even today.
God said in these last days, Israel would be a stumbling block. And they are, especially to those who despise them. It won’t always be that way.
I am with you, never understood it
It’s a Spiritual disease - Jew hating.
