What did the Jews do exactly?

You said you are looking for legitimate (please note the spelling) answers for why Jews are hated.  The answer is:  there are none.  Jews have always been persecuted and killed.  As a result, we have grown into a very strong people.  As strong people, education is very important, so many Jews are well-educated, and with that often comes success.  Because of this, many people are envious and think that somehow Jews have some silly natural intelligence or ability to succeed, and we don't.  We struggle to survive, and the result is what many do not understand.\n\nAlso, many Christians feel threatened by Jews.  We worship God and only God.  Thus, many Christians feel uncomfortable worshipping Jesus and want to convert Jews in order to validate their (the Christians') own feelings about whom they're worshipping.  When Jews do not willingly convert, it is highly threatening to many Christians.

It gave the Jewish people a common language, so they could stay in touch even when they were separated by political boundaries.  This helped them take care of one another, especially when the Inquisition came after them.

:}\nThe Jews were God's chosen people. That makes Satan unhappy. He has used Christians, Muslims and pagans to bring hardship on them but God will insure their survival\nTheir existence in spite of their rebellion to him is a testimony to the existence of an all powerful loving God

Hitler did not all of a sudden say, 'Hey, lets band everyone together by hating Jews.' The hatred of Jews in Europe goes all the way back to the time it became Christian. Passages in the Christian's New Testament paint "The Jews" as being the children of the devil, hypocritical, and interested only in money rather than in Gd. \n\nWho wrote the following???\n\n"""But since I learned that those miserable and accursed people do not cease to lure to themselves even us, that is, the Christians, I have published this little book, so that I might be found among those who opposed such poisonous activities of the Jews and who warned the Christians to be on their guard against them....Now, in order to strengthen our faith, we want to deal with a few crass follies of the Jews in their belief and their exegesis of the Scriptures, since they so maliciously revile our faith. If this should move any Jew to reform and repent, so much the better. We are now not talking with the Jews but about the Jews and their dealings, so that our Germans, too, might be informed....Our Lord also calls them a "brood of vipers"; furthermore, in John' 3:39 he states: "If you were Abraham's children would do what Abraham did.... You are of your father the devil." It was intolerable to them to hear that they were not Abraham's but the devil's children, nor can they bear to hear this today.... For they are a heavy burden, a plague, a pestilence, a sheer misfortune for our country. Proof for this is found in the fact that they have often been expelled forcibly from a country, far from being held captive in it....Therefore be on your guard against the Jews, knowing that wherever they have their synagogues, nothing is found but a den of devils in which sheer self-glory, conceit, lies, blasphemy, and defaming of God and men are practiced most maliciously and veheming his eyes on them.......but then eject them forever from this country. For, as we have heard, God's anger with them is so intense that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse and worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them!"""\n\nIt was Martin Luther, one of the founders of the Protestant movement in Christianity!

No. I personally don't think the whole Jewish population (including many POWs, Gypsies, German sympathizers, the mentally sick, gays/lesbians, political activists, etc. etc.) got together, killed some, tattooed numbers on the survivors, and dug mass graves to get an Israel. THere was nothing it in for the non-Jews.\n\nYes, it happened.

Drink- honey water or wine. \n\nEat- bread, meats, fruits.\n\nJewish People - generally were treated poorly, but not sure if was of their own personal belief, if they were following orders or a mixture of both.  I tend to think it was the last option, a mixture of both.\n\nRoman soldiers were generally very loyal to the Roman Empire and found pride in serving the Ceasar.  However, I am sure just like any soldier they would have preferred to be in their home land, be with their families and friends vs. policing the Jewish communities/cities.\n\nAs far as what they wore, do a google or yahoo search.  You will find lots of information on their attire and probably find a good sketch or two.

it is a long story but here is the short end. back in ww2 the jews had decided they had enough of being persrcuted where ever they go. considering there was no such thing as the jewish nation. as you know the americans british and the french allied together to save the jews from the nazis. then popped in zionism. the british and the zionist banned together and took palestine. at the time there was no saudi arabia or jordan. the palestinian people never did agree to have their land taken from them but it was taken any ways. the palestinians were the majority obviously considering it is their land. they are killed every day. their houses were destroyed, their people were kicked out of their land and massive amounts of jewish people world wide came to live there. a true jew knows that israel is not theirs for the taken and there is a fight between zionist jews that do not follow the torah and the orthodox jews who DO follow the torah. http://www.nkusa.org/AboutUs/FAQs/protest020702.cfm here is a website showing the real orthodox jewish stand point. the palestinians do in deed take part in suicide bombings because they do not have any other way to defend themselves against tanks, machine guns, granaids, and other weaponry the israeli's have. orthodox jews are killed as well as the palestinians trying to stop the injustice. the suicide bombers do it out of desperation. it would be like you living in your home all of a sudden some people come into your house say this is their land and force you out. if yo resist they will kill you. so when a relative gets killed by the israelis well of corse they are to strike back. israel has a nuclear bomb. palestinians have NOTHING but some rocks and home made bombs. there are car bombings, bus bombings, etc.. in no way are these things alright to do when it comes to killing innocent life no matter who you are. the palestinians should sit back and wait until they become strong enough to fight back. but i am not in their posistion so i can not say. when i look at the zionist i hate their actions but i can understand to a point why they want to have a country of their own. they are tired of being persicuted where ever they go. christians have been killing them in mass numbers for centeries now. dated way back to one of the first popes. i know that according to islam they have a right to live where ever they want to live as long as they do it in a peaceful manner. muslims welcome the people in the website above. the ones that follow the torah the correct way. these are peaeful good hearted jews. but the jews who take israel by force knowing they are forbidden and are to follow the laws in which ever country they reside in and go against it will be judged which is stated in THEIR own book. so in conclusion which ever side you are on the whole war is about land!

Correct. It is nothing but the biggest lie ever told. Only the Jews could pull off that one.

The Jews did not kill Jesus.  The Romans did not either.  Mankind as a whole did, or more accurately, Jesus love for mankind.\n\nNails did not and could not hold the Creator to the cross.  Only love could.

From a Jew, from a Jewish perspective:\nWe pray to God.\nWe ask for forgiveness in out prayers.\nWe do teshuva- which literally means "to return" - to repent and arrive at a different spiritual and emotional place that is even higher and holier than before.\nWe perform deeds of lovingkindness - visiting the sick, helping the poor, giving extra charity especially - which is required by Jewish Law anyway.\n\nRepentance is a very important topic about which many Jewish sages have written.  It's possible to get very in depth here, so I just tried to get the basic info.

That is not a question that anyone can answer now. We do not live in that time era, nor do we know what their thoughts were or the people that sold them to the white people. All we can do is speculate which is wrong because we have no clue as to what was said, done, or accomplished by what means at the time. We only know by 3rd and 4th hand word if not more and even second hand word isn't allowed in a court of law.\nWhat bothers me is that there is still so much hatred. I don't even see that among the Jews and the Germans and look at what Hitler and the Nazi's did to the Jews. They actually live together in the same area without all this hatred that continues between the blacks and whites. What was done to the black people was wrong just like what was done to the Jews was wrong, but continuing to hate either blacks or whites accomplishes two things - more hatred and more prejudice.

no. People always hated jews for some reason. remember hitler and concentration camps for the jews? I think it has to do more of race and the way they practiced their religion.  Back then people "forced" the christian religion or any religion upon others and it wasn't illegal.  It was just that the jews were there at the wrong place and the wrong time so they were victimized. maybe. And the jews were always poor back then.  Except for the king who was dumb!  That's why moses or this one guy stole from the rich and gave to the poor.  Remember robin hood? Remembet the rugrats Passover special?

It was the killing of people of Jewish decent by people of Christian decent.  People who were Jewish were killed if they did or did not subscribe to a particular relgious tradition, and most of the people who did participate in the Holocaust were Christian.  I am not saying that there were not heros of all religions at the time- but there were Christian who did kill.  \n\nThat said- Christianity does have a lot of blood on it's hands, as do many religions.  Crusades, Witch Burnings, and Genicides.  They are even happening today... a religion doesn't protect it's followers from turning evil.

To get this straight you need to disregard the Jewish version of history that has bombarded us for years. They portray themselves as innocent victims of Arab hostility and terror, when the truth is more nearly the exact opposite. In the early 1900s there were very few Jews in the area of Canaan, or Palestine, with perhaps 100 orthodox Jewish rabbis in Jerusalem and scattered numbers of Jews elsewhere in the region.  But to go to the very beginning one must look to Russia in the early 1880s during the time of the Pogroms in which mobs attacked Jews and Jewish businesses.  Out of all this persecution was born the idea of a return to the Jewish homeland, personified in the writings of Theodor Herzl and others.  Eventually came the Balfour Declaration out of England, which finally sponsored the idea of a Jewish state in Palestine (places like Ethiopia and Argentina had been considered by the British as possible sites for a new Jewish homeland).  Through the 1920s waves of Jewish immigrants began flocking to the region, and at some point the new arrivals, who initially began buying land from the indigenous Arabs, abandoned that practice and began resorting to outright theft. By the end of the Second World War the seeds of the conflict had been sown.  In the year 1948 alone, Zionists destroyed well over 400 Arab villages, driving away or killing the inhabitants and creating the first groups of Arab refugees.  This taking of Arab land and the massacres that took place was an act of genocide by the Jews directed against the Arab population, yet it is something that Jewish historians seem to have forgotten.  But it was this taking of land and the massacres of entire Arab villages by the Zionists that is the real basis for the conflict in the Middle East.  The Jews, who seem to have wiped their collective memory clean, claim to be themselves innocent victims of Arab attacks.  So today, when you see a suicide bomber blowing up in a Jewish city, it is a revenge for Jewish atrocities from 60 or 70 years ago, and NOT an unprovoked attack as the Jews claim.\n\nI have a complete list of the Arab towns and villages destroyed by the Jews in 1948, and it makes pretty harrowing reading.  These Jews are no innocent people.

EXCELLENT POINT!!!\n\nJewish tribes used to inhabit the whole of Saudi Arabia until the ethnic cleansing of the Islamists. Clearly Jews have a claim to the land they were wrongfully stripped and murdered of.\n\nAh yes, but the savage Islamists still scream tha JewJewJewJewrusalem is theirs. Isnt it amazing.
