Why do so many religious and ethnic groups hate Jews?

I'm wiccan, and I don't hate anyone. If other religions hate Jews, it's because they are absentminded.

I don't hate Jewish as Jewish, they're a religion group such as all others, but I hate controlling the western media and money world, I hate what the Zionist did in Palestine, the same I hate what the Spanish did in the new world, what America did in Vietnam and Iraq, what Bin Laden did in 9/11, it's about hating evil, not about being a bigot, which is the reason why some people hate the Jewish for..

I think plenty. But a few come to mind off the top of my head:\n\n1. The same issue that Jewish people have always faced, rejecting or accepting Jesus as the Jewish Messiah.\n\n2. There is a current trend in Judaism at large where most Jews are becoming more and more "reformed." Most Jews in Israel are not even believers in God. Most Jews in America care little about God, they just like to keep up appearances by going to Schul (Temple, Synagogue) on Passover and Yom Kippur. As a nation the Jews are facing the same issue that's been plaguing them since biblical times, the fact they they largely reject and ignore Yahweh (God). \n\n3. The Jews in Israel are also facing the ever severe problem of Arab and Islamic fundamentalists wanting to destroy them from the face of the earth!\n\n4. Most Jewish people are also facing the ever increasing problem that affects almost everyone at one point in time, they question who they are individually. "what does it mean to be a Jew," "what makes someone a Jew," etc.\n\nHope this helps.

As a Jew, there is nothing wrong with us, no matter what any Anti-Semite might say. The reality is that we have been persecuted as a people for hundreds and thousands of years, and that probably will not change anytime soon. But no matter what lame reason people may give to hate us, we will always be here.

the right answer is the jew media. they are against other religions for their evil designs that is to rule the world on the blood of others.\nreally want to see check out the terrorist of israels. will they be prosecuted the same way like others.

They are both about the same. They both hate Jews, they both think they are superior to everybody else and that they are the only ones who deserve to live free. They both tend to be very ignorant of everything including what is supposed to be their own beliefs and sacred texts.

It's the problem that people cannot distinguish between the real followers of Moses who are the real jews and the ones who are after power and money and call themselves jews.\n\nThis human brain wants to make everything simple: If a so called christian kills another human being the following day everyones starts to say: " Christians are murderers "!\n\nIt seems easy to blame a group of people and categorize them in groups of good and bad. In that case when we hear of a  guy from a certain race or religion our lazy minds won't have to think and verify if that person is good or bad because there is  a summary of good and bad groups already prepared and "automatic lazy voting" is done in seconds.

it really is a very paradoxical question, but it happens when you're growing up in a society that is full of hate towards one race. i've seen jewish people (jewish by birth that is) hate the jewish people, even becoming neo-nazis in their hate.\n\nif you watch the movie "the believer," you'll get an amazing and vivid example just how deep hatred can run.

I disagree with your analysis of an ethnic group...the Jewish people were stateless for thousands of years. \n\nGypsies, too, although they don't quite count as an ethnic group. well...they kind of do.

It's a historical thing. Ever since the advent of the Christianity, there has been lots of anti-Semitism. Popes encouraged the poor treatment of Jews, and in other countries whenever anything went wrong Jews were blamed. \n\nIn medieval times, the Church forbade Christians from charging interest of anything. This meant that no Christians wanted to be moneylenders, so Jews took up the role. This has led to the idea that all Jews are rich and stingy, although this was one of the few jobs Jews were allowed to do.\n\nMany Christians also think that Jews are "Christ-killers" and hate Jews for killing their God. They also think Jews are stubborn for not believing in the Messiah that they believe already came, and will come again. Jews believe that   a messiah has not come.\n\nUnfortunately, it hasn't changed much. People still have a perception that Jews are rich and stingy (much like the stereotype that all Asians are smart) and this shows in TV and high schools. "Jew" is a common insult for a frugal person. If you pick up a quarter on the ground in the average high school, you are likely to hear an anti Semitic joke.\n\nWhat's more, Hitler jokes and Nazi music are become increasingly popular. \n\nIn Europe, there has always been even more anti Semitism. The birthplace of Hitler is a holy place for Neo Nazis, and in France Jewish graves are commonly "decorated" with swastikas.

Because the Jews in Israel love land way more than peace. It has nothing to do with Religion-it's all about greed, war and intolerance.

I am Greek and i believe that there are small number of people who hate Jews. And they hate them because they aren't well educated. Many people hate the government of Israel but this is something differed. They hate any militaristic government including US or UK or Italian they hate war and thats all.

Because in muslim dominated countries, the clerics own the radio and TV stations and spew anti-Jewish and anti-American propaganda to the people. They teach hate in the schools. They kill anyone that doesn't agree with them.

Because at that time, Jews were the popular scapegoat for any problems, so it was natural to blame them. Even now, some fanatics out there still think that Jews control the entire world and are plotting to kill everyone. For these people, a war against Jews is good, and necessary. And Hitler used these people.

First of all, the entire Muslim world does not hate Israel.  A sizable portion does, however.  Those who do, were brought up in countries that use hatred of Israel as a way to distract their own populations from the problems their countries face at home.  Without giving the population an outlet for their anger (Israel), they would soon lose control of their power as the anger becomes directed internally.

People hate what they don't understand or what they fear. Isn't it peculiar to have one religion "hate" another religion. God must really love that.

Now, I'm not jewish, but I believe that anybody who reads the history of the jewish people with all that they have been through and can honestly that they hate them is just plain stupid.  As my mother always said Jesus was a Jew ;-)\n\nBesides how can ya hate the people that gave the world the BAGEL!
