I don't understand why people hate people that are Jewish?

• I was watching a documentary on Naziism the other day and I never really questioned this. I understand the historical facts that Hitler believed the Jews to have ruined Germany after WWI and I understand that the muslims believe that they have claim on Israel and they hate the world for giving their holy land to the Jews. What I don't get is why a bunch of Americans who live the greatest country would rally against the Jews. I also don't understand how these people can claim to be the master race. Did you ever see these red-neck motherfuckers? I am a white male and if these people are the master race please let know so i can kill myself now. I hate those people they make the rest of us white people look bad. Most of us aren't uneducated and are able to have rational thoughts. Most of us would like all people to be treated equal (even though that dosen't happe-i.e. affirmative action). Somebody please enlighten me. I honestly do not mean to offend anyone, I really don't get it

• Answer:

  Why? The reasons (or should I say "excuses") are as old as prejudice itself... Economic ~ People hate Jews because they possess too much wealth and power. Chosen People ~ People hate Jews because they arrogantly claim they are the chosen people. Scapegoats ~ Jews are a convenient group to single out and blame for troubles. Deicide ~ (the killing of a deity) People hate Jews because they killed Jesus. Outsiders ~ People hate Jews because they are different than they are. Racial Theory ~ People hate Jews because they believe them an inferior race. On can only assume because frankly, hatred of the Jews is ancient and nearly universal. Some believe (including many Jewish Scholars) the real reason they're hated is because......the Jews are right... There is no easy answer, but there are literally 100's of books on the subject you could read
