Why do people hate Jews and Judaism? (COMMENTARY)

by Guest Sun May 24, 2015 6:50 pm

NEW YORK (RNS) As Jews around the world prepare to celebrate the holiday of Shavuot commemorating the acceptance of the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai, we are profoundly disturbed by the resurgence of global anti-Semitism. What seems not sufficiently understood is the deep connection between these two, Sinai and anti-Semitism.

The link between the two can allow us to resolve one of the most perplexing questions surrounding the history of the Jewish people.

Seven decades after the Holocaust, the hatred of Jews and Judaism has reappeared with a vengeance in the major capitals of Europe. In the contemporary disguise of anti-Zionism, once again it made its way around the world. Jews as a people and Israel as their land are once more the scapegoats responsible for all the world’s ills and the cause of all of its wrongs.

For the longest time, scholars have attempted to understand what is it about Jews that made them the focus of this obsessive animosity. As fewer than one quarter of 1 percent of the world’s population, what could possibly have turned them into the supreme villains of mankind? And how did countries with not even a single Jew become rabid anti-Semites?

The question is so perplexing that many have simply given up trying to come up with an answer. Elie Wiesel, the Nobel Prize winner and Holocaust survivor, concluded that the endurance of anti-Semitism remains a mystery; he described anti-Semitism as an “irrational disease.” The unsolvable puzzle, he said, is that “the world has changed in the last 2,000 years, and only anti-Semitism has remained. … The only disease that has not found its cure is anti-Semitism.”

this is silly Jews get no more hate than Muslims and Christians by the opposing groups.
Abrahamism inspires hateful followers which in turn causes hate towards it's followers Why do people hate Jews and Judaism? (COMMENTARY) 202592697

Why do people hate Jews and Judaism? (COMMENTARY) 202592697

Same reason

How can people who actually suffer discrimination and have done more so than any group in history be silly?
I think you just proved why there is antisemitism. Some believe they are the chosen people, so what? Does that harm anyone? No, yet if someone made an islamic belief, would you being critical of that be wrong?
Again no, you would be critical. What is wrong is when a people are associated with hate and not the religion, of that the religion is a measure to hate them with.There is no discounting how bad it is Muslims in a majority hate Jews, all again based off Israel. There is no denying this and that is wrong.

By chosen means special, above all others.
That is the first racism , as e are all equal, we decide ourselves our own actions
The Jews deserve a home based on they legally bought land, not any supernatural belief.

The fact you class someone as queer and not as yourself speaks volumes and how you do not believe in equality. Christians for years condemned homosexuals and now you bemoan some Christians having to pay for their bigotry. Just think why they might pay, as its because they are stuck in time. We should not have to make them pay in money but just embarrass them for who they are. So they might eventually learn

So yu think getting your own back is equality, so yu cannot think what Christians did is wrong or do yu think to wrongs make a right, in this case queer rights..

so who does own the planet, who thinks they can sell it or decide who has where..

Well that was one help of a load of babble.
Nobody owns the planet HF.
Christians who perceive they are better than others have pride, everything that Christianity stands against if you understand the teachings of Jesus.Forgiveness is not enough

so why are you saying the jews should only have the land they have actually bought, who should they have paid, who had the right to take the payment..

I don't know what sort of Christian you have ever met but all the ones I know have no pride in themselves they all trust in Jesus...
Forgiveness is enough, Jesus came to pay for all sins once and for all...

I am saying Jews should have self determination and the lands they have.
You are full of pride hence your views of what you have achieved.
You are one hell of a sinner in Christianity.

If nobody owns the planet, Jews can't buy land off anyone, can they?

So you think it's fine for Jews to think they're chosen, but it's not fine for anyone else?

So you think that a Christian now should have to pay for what some other Christians did?

What about gay people who are bigoted against Christians? Should other gay people have to pay for their bigotry?

I didn't say you claimed they were chosen. Perhaps it's you who should learn to read.

Oh, and you also misread Veya's post.

You should be apologising for being such a twat 24/7.

Exactly - you changed your mind within minutes. Do try to be more consistent so that you don't look even more stupid.

PMSL never changed my mind at all, there is nothing wrong with people believing this as much as you believe in some deity that sexually abuses a 12 year old virgin girl. That does not mean I advocate this as evidence to be used to justify owning land.
Oh dear did I make you look an idiot again?

That proves how dense you are, I said some believe and if that harmed anyone?
It does not mean I back them to own land based off that belief.
I suggest you go back to school and learn basic English.

Why do people hate Jews and Judaism? (COMMENTARY) UUyIaow

by Raggamuffin Mon May 25, 2015 4:17 am

Jews as a people and Israel as their land

So what if a non-Jew owns land in Israel? What if a Jew merely rents land in Israel?

I would say that the person who wrote the article answered his own question.
