Thread: Seriously, why do people seem to hate "Jews"

A recent thread entitled "something something Super Jew" intrigued me. I couldn't help but feel a definite negative sub text in the title. So often the word/title "Jew" seems to be used in a negative way. I'm just intrigued. Why do people hate the Jews?
Do people, other that the the Islamic nations, detest the Jews so much.

I've never really understood this. What's the go?

I'm with you JJ.
Never could understand that one.

But it's strong and undeniable.

It's odd. I've worked with Jewish people, had no worries at all. I tend to avoid politics at all costs so don't get involved in it. But I've never understood this seemingly innate hatred and disdain that some people have for "Jews". Most bizarre.

I'm not suggesting that they're better r worse than anybody else but just the word

JEW

seems to be on a par with

NIGGER, in it's worst sense.

Why?

Dunno.

But it's a spark with a lot of people. Sends 'em into a rage.

Perhaps Macha will wander by and give us a level-headed and comprehensive slur-filled explanation. He's usually good for that.

It's a wierd one for sure. The reasons tend to be the NWO conspiracy theory and/or general racist bigotry.

One guy in a bar in Changers (he hated Jews) told me it was because they are always feeling sorry for themselves with the 'victim label' and using the holocaust as a crutch (possibly) and exclusionistic (not quite true) etc etc.
I really can't see that as an excuse for hating them though. Indeed I was helped out greatly by a very cool dude Jew and am still friends with him now.

I know the Zionist Protocols (which have officially been claimed to be fake) did serious damage to the Jewish peoples good names when they were 'discovered' in 1900s. Despite being denounced as fake the Nazis still used them as an excuse I think and even to this day there are those who claim they are authentic!! :O

This is the NWO conspiracy theory slant on it which states that a super secret society (usually based in NE USA) of shadowy Jewish types pull the strings in Capitol Hill and other corridors of power to take over the world.
It goes deep and waaay off at a tangent so I won't bore you with the details as this isn't really a conspiracy site however if it is true they must be the biggest bozos going if they haven't pulled it off yet as they've had xxxx years to do it!

For me personally the only Jews I dislike are the Russian ones that went on the rampage (on Stalins orders) in the 1930s. The Christians took the brunt of it (as it became a vendetta) and there are some that call for it be recognised as a 'mini holocaust' prior to the one against the Jews by Hitler.

Nowadays with Israel up against the wall i don't have any beef with them or Jews in general though

How is this any different than any businessman pushing the limits and getting the most out of his employees?

Reminds me of Missmiggins' whine last week.

Woe is me -- they're taking advantage of me.

Good God Man, grow a pair. If you're gettin' done get out.

Are ya dum? I'm not a businessman, but if it's this easy to separate fools and their money, perhaps I should try.

And the Holocaust always gets bought into the subject. Why is that?

This is true, but, they were barred from doing so many occupations, that all that was left was money lending and trading (these were considered vulgar), or, the arts.

I think without a homeland, and being guests wherever they settled with little to no security of tenure, they were never sure when they would next be shooed on.

Part of survival in this centuries long tradition, would be to create wealth, and excel in whatever they did (or were allowed to do), so that they could contribute to the host nation and its people - a form of tribute to be tolerated longer.

Combined with the Jesus effect and other offerings as above, it isn't difficult to see how envy can set in.

Cause their food sucks? How can you have a culture without good food?

They also retained a unique and separate cultural identity in the middle of otherwise fairly homogenous European societies so I guess people felt threatened.

These statements sound very pat to me. Often stated but they don't really mean much in modern day terms do they?

Tradition is stronger than you might think and in my opinion definitely the main reason why the word 'Jew' gets used in negative contexts, it sure didn't start yesterday.

To draw a parallel, many originally Christian values still remain strong in secularised societies (gender roles, morals etc.).

Xenophobia is more or less a natural defense mechanism, but racism is learned behaviour.

Obviously there are also undercurrent ideologies like nazism that state that the over representation of people of Jewish descent in positions of influence means that they have a conspiracy going, and for that reason they need to be eliminated. The mainstream also partially feeds off of this type of hatred.

No, they are not Republicans.

The ovewhelming number of American Jews are Democrats and vote for Democrats.

This is because (we think) that they are not very religious, but more culturally Jewish instead.

Jewish Americans are HUGE Democratic voters.

Interesting statement.

Aboriginal Culture ?
British Culture ?
All arabic cultures ?

and if you only like white processed bread, every culture in the world that doesn't have white processed bread.

I'm sure you were joking,

And its not as if they behave charmingly to all and sundry. One firm I worked for in Indonesia was supposedly connected with Mossad. Joseph Ziv was a partner. He was a Mossad seal - who threw Robert Maxwell off his boat.

Do me a favor, check the OP. First word was ???????

Care to give it a go for the benefit of all. Well, for my benefit anyway.

Please.........

My first experience of Jew hating came from my grandparents. In their words, Britain had given them haven when Hitler turned on them, they were fed and housed and didn't fight. For the British population food rationing and economic hardship lasted well into the 50's but the Jews were eating bananas and running the black market in 1946 due to their networks.

Gallowspole. Unfortunately , I have only just come across this thread.
Your grandparents had probably never visited any of the many War Graves throughout Europe and else where, where there are many people of the Jewish Faith interred. The American Cemetery at Omaha Beach probably holds the remains of more followers of Judaism than any other single war cemetery. If anyone has any doubts on the matter, then I would humbly suggest a trip to and a slow walk around the two cemeteries at Kanchanaburi!

....where you'll never know about the real numbered casualties.
