So what is the EXACT reason so many people hate Jews?

[HitmanTommy]

I find it absolutely fascinating that such a small group of people can receive so much hate from so many people throughout the centuries. To this very day, they are hated just as they were centuries ago.

Hitler obtained REAL power and used every bit of it to attempt to annihilate every single trace of the Jews off the face of the planet. He delivered an absolutely devastating blow to them. But through it all, they are still here and thriving. Anyone know the EXACT reason why they are so hated?

Christians hated Jews for killing Jesus.

Muslims hate Jews for taking Israel.

Present day people hate Jews because they're either blind bandwagoners or out of envy. It pisses people off beyond belief that Jews could be persecuted and mass murdered for thousands of years while still being successful.

You'll notice most rational Christians like myself have absolutely no problem with Jews. It's born from envy and tribalism.

Their history of dominating the financial systems?

They killed Jesus? Even though that was God's plan all along. So i dont know how they could prevent that.

Fourth pic looks fake.

Fourth pic looks fake.

there is a pile of shoes in the holocaust museum in DC. i've seen it with my own eyes. moved me damn near to tears when i was just a kid. it's probably the most powerful room in the museum. kid's and women's shoes don't talk **** about a pile of shoes! don't approach the idea that anything about it is fake. that's monumentally disrespectful. it's one of the worst things that people have ever done.

in hitler's case he existed in the context of defeat in the first world war and the sanctions pressure from the rest of the world that led germany into financial crisis. there was also a lot of german press at the time speculating that communists and jewish business leaders were responsible in part for the waning morale of the german military around the end of the war.

industries which propped up the german military were subsidized heavily by the nazi government. actual capital would have come from conquered territories. hitler started with his own jewish neighborhoods! german money was becoming increasingly useless. jewish communities had gold and other hard goods, and labor!


they were an easy scapegoat for the collapse of the economy, a soft target without a military or a real diplomatic position of their own, and they had real wealth that could be exploited.

ultimately i believe they were a means to an end for hitler. he wanted military and political power and he was a conman. i don;t think he cared that much that they were jewish. maybe i'm wrong, i have not read mein kampf and i'm not an expert.

why would somebody fake that picture? there are real piles of shoes all over the world. really strong way to make people remember just what happened, and not to do it again. nobody needs to know that you think the picture is faked. you'd find it disrespectful if your mother and your sister's shoes were in that pile, and you're an idiot if you don't recognize that.

Ah damn. Those are shoes. i thought they were dead skins. My bad.

I have to disagree with the Christians vs Jews reasons. While there is definitely historical tension between Christians and Jews, it was mostly theological segregation desired by both parties -- and conventional wars fought when the Jews still held independent territories. Secondly even ranking conventional Jewish exiles in history, Christians would account for a small and fairly recent %. There was nothing quite like the holocaust before the holocaust.

The Nazi-Jewish conflict was totally different. There was almost no religious/theological aspect. Hitler was very utilitarian in regards to religion and famously wished his population had adopted Islam so they were more warlike and less mushy/philosophical.

Post-WW1 Germany was simultaneously battling mass poverty via paying tribute to the victors while suppressing domestic Bolshevik revolution, whose ringleaders were almost entirely Jewish in ancestry -- and this turned into a widespread reactionary movement against Jews in general regardless of their political leanings. Jewish and communist almost became synonyms in the German interwar period.

Almost everyone in Germany was advocating socialism and subsequently purging dissidents. The conflict was between national socialists (Nazis) and international socialists (communists/bolsheviks). National socialists wanted to adopt socialism for the German nation/people and expel the populations who they considered to be capitalizing upon their postwar misery. International socialists favored abolishing nations and forming vast regional blocs -- often at the sacrifice of the native populations.

The same basic factions fought the Russian civil war (national socialists vs international socialists), where the Bolshevik faction won and subsequently purged Russian loyalists by the millions. In Germany the national socialists prevented a true civil war by assassinating the communist ringleaders preemptively, then commenced to purge dissidents.

The trouble of course is that while the high-profile ringleaders of "international socialism" which promoted the sacrifice of European nations/ethnicities in the name of a great socialist experiment were heavily Jewish, this does not mean the majority of the Jewish population were active international socialists. But just like in the USSR, casting a wide net and imprisoning all *potential* dissidents was considered more viable in a state of emergency. So the USSR sent masses of Russian nationals and members of traditional rural communities to the gulags while Nazi Germany sent high-risk communists (Jews, ****sexuals, gypsies, etc) to their concentration camps.

You have to distinctly separate this from other historical Jewish exiles/wars because of how deeply entwined it was with the national socialist VS international socialist standoff of the interwar period.



Then there is the simpler answer: When has there ever been a wealthy global minority people didn't openly fantasize about rounding up and killing?

Visit a low ranked bay area university some time and sit in on a sociology course. It's pretty much a foregone moral conclusion that both American Jews and Anglo-Saxons need to be rounded up and exterminated because they're holding out on the world.

Of course that's not how it works (they're rich because they produce things everyone else wants), but in theory if you just kill people and take their stuff you get about a month of partying before the famine.
