The Samaritans sort of betrayed the Jewish faith by marrying someone of a different religion.
Answer:
Our tradition records many instances in which the Samaritans harassed the Jews who attempted to visit the Temple. Besides the fact that the Samaritans were clandestine idolaters (Talmud, Hullin 6a).
The possible Palestentians, Samaritans owned that land first. So it was about land really. When the Jews came from Egypt they were converted to the monotheistic religion, and then that made the Samaritans barbarians. Althought both peoples are of the Semtic languages (the same as the bedouin Arabs). It is possible that all are related to the Assyrians, the ones who created the first wheel. and made pottery.
Just depends on what percetion you want to use to view the two? Religion or money, ie. land.
Answer:
According to Jewish sources (2 Kings 17:24), after the Assyrians exiled the Israelite Ten Tribes, the Assyrian king brought non-Jews from Cutha, Babylonia and Syria (Hamat), and settled them in the depopulated area where the Ten Tribes had lived (Samaria). They were taught Judaism by one of the Jewish priests (2 Kings 17:27), and they were taught the Torah, which they wrote in the Old Hebrew script.
The Talmud relates how the Samaritans adopted some of the mitzvot (Torah-commands) but not others (Talmud, Berakhot 47b), how they denounced the Jews to Alexander in an unsuccessful attempt to get him to destroy the newly-built Second Temple (Talmud, Yoma 69a), and how they interfered with the declaring of Rosh Hodesh (the New Moon) (Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 22b). Our traditions relate how the Samaritans would waylay the Jews who tried to journey to the Holy Temple.

If you are referring to the biblical reference found in St. John 4, "Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans", then the answer is as follows:
When God originally delivered Israel from Egyptian bondage he called them into relationship with himself as a people. One of the criteria or stipulations of his relationship with him was that they would not have any dealings with or take wives from the surrounding heathen nations (that is those nations that worshiped "other" gods), (false gods).
Due to Israel's continuous sin and compromise of their relationship with God, II Kings 17:7 Israel is sent into captivity as a form of divine judgment for her sin. Southern Kingdom of Israel (Judah), is taken by Babylonians into Babylonian captivity. Northern Kingdom of Israel, (Israel) is taken into Assyrian captivity. During their Assyrian captivity, some of the men of Israel against God's command, took wives of the Assyrians. The descendants of these unions are identified in the New Testament as "Samaritans". To the Jew they represented that which was outside of the will of God, hence their refusal to engage in relations with them.
Alongside this the Samaritans in history were instrumental in challenging Israels resettlement and rebuilding after being released from Assyrian/Persian and Babylonian Captivity. The Jews saw their land not only as property legally belonging to them, but a divine promise and covenant between themselves and God. The opposition of the Samaritans to their covenant inheritance brought great tension between the Samaritans and themselves.

Samaritans believe that God sanctified Mount Gerizim (outside modern Nablus) as the holy site for sacrifices. Jews say the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. This division may be a relic of the division between Judah and Israel before the Babylonian Exile, with the Samaritans being a remnant of the population of the northern kingdom of Israel that managed to hang onto their original homes through the invasions that destroyed that kingdom.
2000 years ago, the Samaritans were already a minority, looked at by Jews as closely related religion that was seriously wrong-headed. A little resentment from the Samaritan side would not be a surprise. Today, there are only about 1000 Samaritans left in the world, so they are an even smaller minority, doggedly hanging onto their traditions despite the overwhelmingly larger size of the Jewish community.
Hate may be too strong a word, but the division was because Samaritans believe that God sanctified Mount Gerizim (outside modern Nablus) as the holy site for sacrifices. Jews say the holy site is the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. This division may be a relic of the division between Judah and Israel before the Babylonian Exile, with the Samaritans being a remnant of the population of the northern kingdom of Israel that managed to hang onto their original homes through the invasions that destroyed that kingdom.
The Jews had been conquered by a lot of empires, countries, etc. The Samaritans were Jews that had intermingled with the other cultures and for that reason the Jews thought them unclean and 'dirty'.
The Samaritans were the inhabitants of Samaria. They were of mixed Jewish and heathen descent. The Samaritans claimed descent from Jacob, and looked on themselves as true Israelites. A mountain in Samaria, Mount Gerizim had been adopted as their official place of worship. The Jews had a deep dislike for the Samaritans. They considered them half-breeds. That is why this woman said to the Lord Jesus, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?"
Absolutely. There are individuals of all races who dislike Jewish people. That's not saying all black people dislike Jews.
Samaritans are accepted by the State of Israel (i.e. they can enter and leave, have freedom and movement, and can apply for citizenship), but Samaritans are not accepted as Jews. Samaritans, during the times of Jewish presence in what is now called Israel and Palestine, were not Jews and did not observe Jewish rituals. They were co-inhabitants. (This is similar to how whites and blacks are co-inhabitants of the United States. They both come from the same cities and towns, but are not the same race.)
your mum dislike the Jews
AnswerThe gospels say that Joseph and Mary were Jews, not Samaritans.
Luke 10:25-37 Its not that Samaritans help, per se, it's that the people Jesus was telling the story to (the Jews) disliked the Samaritans and considered them bad people (i.e. not likely to help a down trodden person.) In the story, a man is rob and beaten. The priest and temple boy (the people who the target audience (the Jews) would assume go to heaven) pass the man in need on the other side of the street; however, the "villainous" Samaritans helps the guy out. The premise is "Love your neighbor" and you go to heaven.
A:The Samarians, or Samaritans, were monotheistic, following an archaic form of Judaism that possibly dated all the way back to the seventh century BCE. There is still small group of Samaritans who follow the same traditions in Israel, even today.
AnswerThe Samaritans were polytheistic until Hellenistic times, when they adopted a variant of monotheistic Judaism, excluding many of the books that lionised the Jews, their neighbours to the south. So, at least from Hellenistic times, the Samaritans only worshipped one God.
Judasim is the religion practised by the Jews. The reality is that the faith practised by Abraham should be known as the religion practised by all the Hebrews. All Jews are Hebrews but not all the Hebrews are Jews. Jews are the descendants of one of the tribes of Israelites. The other 11 tribes are not to be found. They are called the missing tribes. Later the faith practised by Jews came to be known as Judaism. The Samaritans still practice the ancient religion of the Hebrews. The Temple built by King Solomon centres around the Temple while the Samaritans believe that they have nothing to do with the Temple. During Christ's time the Samaritans believed that their Lord dwelt in Mountains.
Yes, Samaritans still exist today. They are a small community living in the Middle East, primarily in the West Bank and Israel. The Samaritans follow a religion closely related to Judaism and have their own traditions and customs.
Jews.
