Might I suggest: ignorance, and deep-seated cultural envy/suspicion, together with the ugly and unfortunate societal and individual need for a common whipping boy.
Andrew Banks comment below sums it up pretty well. I would add that when Adam and Eve chose to disobey God, Satan's slimy interjection which led to the fall, set an agenda for the future. He was told by God his seed would be at odds with Adam's seed and the woman would produce the Messiah who would save mankind from the wrath of God. That seed was Jesus, born to a Jewish mother and raised as a Jew in the land of the Hebrews. Satan has tried his best to prevent that seed developing into the Messiah and Saviour. He almost won a victory with his seed contaminating the world, but Noah was found to be righteous in God's eye and the seed was preserved whilst 99% of the world perished. Herod tried to kill Jesus not long after the Magi came to worship the new baby born a king. That failed. It culminated with Christ willingly giving himself vicariously on the cross for all mankind. The devil was conquered, death also was conquered and so the Nation once called the Apple of God's eyes has been targeted by Satan who wants to take as many souls as he can muster with his ongoing lying and deceiving all who reject Jesus. The Great Tribulation, known as Jacob's Troubles, is yet to play out in the not too distant future. In the meantime the Jews are targeted for destruction by the servants of Satan. My favourite interjection, "But God....", will have final say when He intervenes powerfully at the end of history, the Battle of Armageddon. You don't want to be there I assure you!
I think it’s because God chose that race from which to bring the Saviour. satan and all those who follow him hate that and have sworn to kill all the Jews and therefore all the Christians who also follow this God.
Also I think others are jealous of how intelligent and therefore successful the Jews are. They are quite amazing as James’ figures attest to.
I also think they are a physically beautiful race. The men are handsome and the women are classical beauties.
These people are special and the world aka satan hates that. So exterminate the Jews and inflict heartbreak on God, and we Christians are in the same boat.
Jesus came as a humble Jew. How blessed aren’t the Jewish race to have the Saviour of mankind as one of their own!
The bible story is an incredible story of how God slowly moulded the Jews into a society, a people. As it was a new concept, and they were slow learners, they wandered for 40 years in the wilderness as they learnt to be obedient as a people. Then at the allotted time, when Rome ruled the world, God introduced Jesus to the world, with a new paradigm. Christianity was born. Christians were to live in a harmony with one another. Yes, it will always be a work in progress but Christians, with their Jewish foundation, gradually learnt that the rules had to be followed for the common good. Jesus taught us to love one another. Even our enemies. To do others as we would have them do unto us. To serve others. To obey authority, if built on the same Christian principles.
"There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
These ideas were extraordinary for the times, completely contrary to contemporary values. But they survived, evolved and eventually prospered in the Western world. Love, hope and faith.
As they spread across the known world, the Jews were persecuted, no doubt because of their sense of order, unity, and faith. They were different, peaceful, misunderstood. Their energies could be focused on learning, rather than conflict. As they could not own land, the went into business, into professions, skills they could take with them after the next pogrom.
It is truly a remarkable, unique history. But is this Jewish/Christian civilisation coming to an end, as did the Roman Empire? To sink into another dark ages, for us to learnt to live in harmony all over again?
Yes, James we owe so much to the Jews - our very Bible is from the Jews. So much of today’s technology is birthed in Israel … cellphone technology, Microsoft Windows operating system, instant messenger software, Intel Pentium chip, Heart attack blood test diagnoses by phone, PC antivirus software, USB flash drive, radiation free breast cancer diagnostic test, gut cam ingestible pill video camera to diagnose cancer, drip irrigation technology … I could go on. I’m sure many of your bloggers could add to the list. I have visited Yad Vashem (Isaiah 56:5 “To them I will give in My house and within my walls a place (memorial) and a name (yad vashem) … that shall not be cut off”)- the most haunting and moving experience of my life. The children’s’ memorial is particularly heart wrenching. The names of every child who perished is on constant repeat. Yes, I often wonder how many Einstein perished in the Shoah (Holocaust). Despite the evils of man - ISRAEL LIVES!🇮🇱
So would I Jim You dont see a special police task force labeled Jew organised crime squad do you ?.'These people " have number plates on their cars MEOC (middle east organised crime as a badge of honour.) Poor dumb bastards,they breath,breed and live here!
The Jewish people have always been ahead. God gave them brilliant minds and they would have been even better had they not gone after foreign gods. They had the basics of living a clean life and worshipping their Creator. I only have to look at my own maternal ancestry and see how many doctors, engineers and professional men were among them. They seemed to have a knack for making money too. My Hungarian great grandfather was an engineer on the Suez Canal and the rests of his family were all doctors. He went to Fiji after the Suez and had sugar plantations and Bakeries in New Zealand before moving to Sydney and buying up all that is today Darling Harbour, until he contracted polio and died in 1916. I have no idea why I am not rich!!!!!! However, I am because I have Jesus. I do know from the names on Schindler's list, there are people with the same surname as they had so some went through the concentration camps
I think dear old Albert might have , relativity speaking, considered your last point as the correct answer.
He was a smart man!
I love your work, James. Keep it up.
Thanks for reading Charles!
I don't know what explains it but I would like to know why Jews are so despised by so many around the world?
From Genesis 3v15 the devil was on the look out for a particular family
From Genesis 12 the devil knew the identity of that particular family
It's been war ever since

Anybody else using telegram seeing all the nasty hate for Jews on there? It's insane!!!
I’d also like to see crime statistics for Jewish versus Islamic offenders along with incarcerations for the two groups.
So would I Jim You dont see a special police task force labeled Jew organised crime squad do you ?.'These people " have number plates on their cars MEOC (middle east organised crime as a badge of honour.) Poor dumb bastards,they breath,breed and live here!
I will qualify the above scribble . We Aussies are the poor dumb bastards for letting them into this country in the first place.
A good question.
Interesting facts. Yes, thus the jealousy!
Not quite the article I was hoping for today but I do love a good poll!
Nice work Mac!
