LOL!! 
The asute ponderings of a wise man, indeed.
The Jews are hated because many of them are generally better than alot of other people. They have comprised most of the greatest beings in the history of the world. Therefore, people are very jealous of them and want to get rid of them.
Mr. Irving must be very jealous because he knows that he is a hopeless retard. Why must God keep letting these types of people exist? sigh
I don't know if you're Jewish or not but as I scrolled down the list I was hoping someone would post exactly your sentiment.
I am a Gentile lady but have worked for many Jewish-owned companies in my life. They know how to run a business and are tough. Hey, I like tough. If you want a charity to give you stuff for free, look up Salvation Army in the phone book.
Have you or anyone reading this thread ever been exposed to jealous people? And there is a difference between jealousy and envy. An envious person does not want to destroy the object of its envy but instead will strive to achieve the same thing or result that caused the original envy.
A jealous person will try to outright DESTROY the object of its hideous and purposeless jealousy. Destroy it and get it out of their sight that their own shortcomings are less obvious.
At times I consider it almost the difference between good and evil.
The Muslims are prime, PRIME I tell you, to inculcate with a pervasive and soul-destroying sense of jealousy. While they have enormous oil wealth, most of those mideast countries have a destitute populace, virtually unemployed and hardly productive. A very few of their populace controls almost all the oil wealth, consider the Sauds in Saudi Arabia.
In order to deflect this resentment of a hopeless life and possible jealousy of their own mean leaders who hog all the money for themselves, the Muslims blame Israel, via rich Imams etc, ...blame Israel, blame Israel.
What, you don't think the rest of this planet is JEALOUS of America? THAT'S what the so-called hatred of America is all about. And we've got some liberals who want to bring America DOWN (witness Kyoto or Global warming, anything to tie our hand behind our backs) in order to keep the world from resenting us for what they could very well have if their leaders would give it to them.
Irving, heh, what a boob.
It wasn't until the mid-to-late 17th Century in most European countries that jews were allowed to own property, serve in the rulers' military, practice the learned professions of law, medicine or clergy and most businessmen tradesmmen engaged in patent discrimination by sub rosa not hiring jews or blantly posting notices that ''Jews need not apply.'' Thus, virtually the only areas of commerce and employment available were banking and becoming one's own small business owner. In those fields most showed such adeptness and acumen that many were able to accumulate significant wealth. Without the ability to reinvest such proceeds in real property and since lending and the collection of interest were without any adverse moral taint, they often became the object of even greater and widespred scorn by the rest of society.
