The anti-Jew thing goes back many years.

When St Peter went to Rome to preach, there were Jews in Palestine killing Roman soldiers and citizens. He had to separate his religion from those Jews back home. This was probably the start.

Then in the Middle Ages when Jews were not allowed to do certain jobs, so some ended up as money lenders.

They moved across Europe never trying to integrate into the society where they lived. It was forbidden to marry outside the religion and even mixing with them was dificult. They were accused of causing the Plague, of killing babies and drinking blood. They were histories scapegoats. Look at how Shakespeare writes of them.

After WW1 when Germany suffered from massive inflation the Jews held together and helped other Jews. This was resented by the Christians and made them easy targets for Hitler?s hate machine.

Today they claim a piece of land that is not theirs, because the Jewish lobby persuaded the United Nations to give it to them after WW2. The land was Palestinian and they have since expanded by building settlements at every opportunity. The Holocaust was terrible but is does not give anyone an excuse to do what they are doing to the natives of the land they have taken.

Like most religions they feel superior to everyone else because theirs is the only true religion and God loves only them.
