MULTIPLE CHOICE - PUBLIC POLL

Jews have not engaged in an invasive war since the 9th century BC. Unlike Christians, Muslims and nearly every ethnicity, race and country, other than the initial formation of Israel 2900 years ago, Jews have never sought to create an empire by war or in any other manner.

For nearly 2000 years, Jews have fled from one region and country to another from oppression and systematic murder. The killing of Jews merely for being Jewish has never stopped. It would appear no ethnicity/race has been more hated for as long and as universally across the world as the Jews.

Why? Why are the Jews so hated everywhere leading to countless incidents of organized violence, murder, imprisonment, and other genocidal natured oppression?

They consistently do quite well for themselves across basically all fields except athletics and politics (more after antiquity, I think, but still). A group of folks doing that well has to be up to something, right?

At least that's the thinking of jealous, hateful minds. Money makes the world go round.

Personally, I like Jews, I respect the hustle.

I'm sure there's more, but that's the one I suspect to be a pivotal factor. I'm no expert on antisemitism though, so take it with a grain of salt.

Interesting perspective.
 
Because ignorant morons like you keep making up falsehoods about Jews in order to fit your own religious or historical narrative.
 
Terrible poll. Every single option is victim-blaming, pure and simple. Every single one. Where are the options that put the onus where it belongs, and that is on past and present-day antisemites?
 
I believe it's because they're "shifty".

That's the easiest answer in the world. Because both the Bible and the Quaran say so:

For Christianity, it's Matthew and John that are the culprit. The Jews are the enemies that are guilty of killing Jesus Christ. Matthew 27:24-25 -

When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!” All the people [the Jews] answered, “His blood is on us and on our children!”

Meaning that on a broader level, it's that the Jews are too [dumb, ignorant, conceited, evil] to be able to read their own Holy Books and recognize that Jesus is the Messiah!

For Islam, it began with Muhammad. Both the Jews and the Muslims trace their lineage to to the literary figures Isaac and Ishmael. The Quran instructs Muslims to both treat Jews as brothers and as enemies. But the hatred? Surat Al-Mā'idah 5:12-13 and 5:70-

And Allah had already taken a covenant from the Children of Israel, and We delegated from among them twelve leaders. And Allah said, "I am with you. If you establish prayer and give zakah and believe in My messengers and support them and loan Allah a goodly loan, I will surely remove from you your misdeeds and admit you to gardens beneath which rivers flow. But whoever of you disbelieves after that has certainly strayed from the soundness of the way." So for their breaking of the covenant We cursed them and made their hearts hard. They distort words from their [proper] usages and have forgotten a portion of that of which they were reminded. And you will still observe deceit among them, except a few of them. But pardon them and overlook [their misdeeds]. Indeed, Allah loves the doers of good.

We had already taken the covenant of the Children of Israel and had sent to them messengers. Whenever there came to them a messenger with what their souls did not desire, a party [of messengers] they denied, and another party they killed.

Meaning that on a broader level, it's that the Jews are too [dumb, ignorant, conceited, evil] to be able to understand their own history are realize that Muhammad is the Prophet!

Because of our intrinsic evil.
 
The industry nature - the drive - of Jews when FINALLY fixated on defensive is truly the David - Goliath battle - where David had prepared far more than any thought possible. In the Jew's war for independence they were attacked by half a dozen heavily armed professional armies of many surrounding countries plus scores of Muslim volunteers from other countries. In retrospective analysis, had those attacking forces kept up the attack they would have prevailed.

But the Jews - men and women - fought so intensely and so psychologically wise - making themselves seem far more potent than they were - the Jews scared the hell out of the attacking soldiers. For example, they made a few MASSIVE mortars that couldn't hit anything targeted - but instead were designed to make a tremendously loud explosion. They flew the few aircraft they had in ways to make it seem that those few aircraft seemed like hundreds. And used the 3 WW2 surplus bombers they had smuggled in seem like a squadron bombing Cairo itself.

By portraying themselves prior to the attack as armed only with handguns and rifles - and then making it falsely appear like they had a huge air force, huge tank force, and massive artillery, the attackers were so startled they retreated and agreed to a cease fire. Incredibly, although it seemed like total war, the total casualties on all sides was only around 25,000 including all civilians killed.

Smoke and mirrors. And it worked. Brilliant. I admire that creativity and determination against all the odds.

Unless that is satire, it would be good to remember you in light of that last sentence.

More like the Ten Commandments for Hating Jews.

Way to add fuel to the racist fire.
 
The poll lacks the answer and the answer is both non-controversial and definitive.



-Jews are Urban. They lack a farming class. They chose to be an urban tribe throughout history and historically speaking, wealth always congregates for any civilization in the cities. That's the definitive answer on Jews. All misunderstandings on Jews derive from this simple fact. For most of history 90% of the human population was non-urban so naturally, you have a population of people that only lives in cities and ta-da, "those people must be elitist, they're all in cities". No. They simply all chose to reside in cities.


Do the basic arithmetic of City = Wealth = Immigration to wealthy city by immigrant tribe = Jews. Jews aren't why wealth is in cities (European cities were wealthy before Jews arrived), Jews are educated as a people because they chose cities as their refuges compared to farming/construction/resource materials. It isn't hard to figure out however to your average uneducated person out there in the big scary world, especially in the dark lands of the globe between the civilized light of West and East, a people who solely chose to reside in cities can look ominous.

The poll is false. Historically Jews have not suffered atrocities more than others.One only has to look at some of the communist regimes across the world or even in our own countries past regarding the treatment of the American indians to see that this is true.
 
There is no doubt that Jews have suffered a lot of persecution and atrocities over the centuries. However, many other ethnic and religious minorities have been persecuted as well (historically it has sucked to be a gypsy, aboriginal, many Siberian ethnic minorities, many Chinese ethnic minorities, many African ethnic minorities and so on). Moreover, I don't think outside of radical Islamists and far right extremists, they are a hated people today.

If anything, the historical experience of Jews is another prefect example of how crappy we humans due to our tribal nature can be to other smaller groups.

Exactly. For example, try having a prayer group at your home in China. If the authorities find out they will bulldoze your home. Try being a Reindeer Herding tribe in the Soviet Union. What about an Aboriginal in Australia. Historically, we could be pretty ****ty too each other.
 
A buddy of mine who is Jewish jokes that it's because of all that running around at night poisoning people's wells, combined with all that kidnapping and murdering of Christian children to use their blood in the dishes they prepare for their rituals. I'll have to ask him if he thinks murdering Jesus had anything to do with it.

How is it satire? That is exactly what Christianity and Islam have leveled at Judaism, and why Jews have so long suffered under pogroms initiated by Christians and Muslims.

"The Jews are too [dumb, ignorant, conceited, evil] to be able to read their own Holy Books and recognize that Jesus is the Messiah!"
"The Jews are too [dumb, ignorant, conceited, evil] to be able to understand their own history are realize that Muhammad is the Prophet!"


(Edit: And why do you think we atheists are so hated? Again, like the Jews, we reject Jesus and Muhammad as supernatural deities and that drives Christians/Muslims bonkers.)
 
No vote ...there IS an iota or two of truth in each sentence ...also that man is a savage beast .. three iota of truth ..

.
Hypocrisy at it's finest.

It is best to remember the words of your last sentence:

Why are the Jews so hated everywhere leading to countless incidents of organized violence, murder, imprisonment, and other genocidal natured oppression?

That is a real jewel right there - you must be proud.
 
I'll give all silly religions another century or two, then, our planet will be 100% atheist and man will finally live in peace.

And there you have it. As long as people will actually believe in the religions that human beings have created, a religious minority will be persecuted. The Jews have been persecuted for thousands of years. They have been persecuted by Christians for not being Christian. They have been persecuted by Muslims for not being Muslim.

Which is why the tradition of separation of church and state is so important.

Jews were (and are) persecuted for being Jewish, not merely for not being Christian or Muslim.
There were Christians who were executed during the Holocaust because they had some distant relative who used to be Jewish.

If they're Jewish, then they're not Christian and not Muslim.

So, is it only Jews, or is it anyone who isn't Christian or Muslim?

I have a difficult time understanding all of the rancor between the religions. It seems to me that the persecution would end if only freedom of religion became more wide spread, and if perhaps people would quit taking religion so seriously.

Precisely.

I'm as atheistic as it gets myself but I don't convince myself that if we rid ourselves of religion we'll suddenly stop fighting each other.
