Anti-Semitism is a prejudicial hate, and prejudice comes from the term "pre-judge." It is not based in reality. It is based in a "pre-judgment" of people, made usually without any knowledge of that people beyond the repetition of myths, legends, and stereotypes.
If you look throughout history, Jews are not the only victims of other peoples' hate, as the history of African-Americans shows.
Hate does not need a reason to exist. It simply exists, created by those who either believe it (from ignorance) or fuel it (from cynicism) or spread it (from previous hatred).
Further informationIt's worth adding that at various times the Jews have been actively 'demonized' and blamed for all kinds of things. For example, in the Middle Ages they were blamed for the plague! In the aftermath of WWI there was a widespread view of the Jews as Bolshevists. Hitler and many other extreme right-wingers claimed that they had encouraged non-co-operation and subversion in Germany.Jews have been hated for many centuries. They have been hated since the days of the pharaohs and Moses. That is why it is referred to the longest hatred. The hatred goes worldwide too. It is shameful.
Hitler was crazy, he hated all Jews.
Hell no, many people hated Jews for thousands of years, mainly Christians hated Jews due to different religious believes.
The ancient Egyptians actually did not hate Jews, and archeology has suggested that the Jews weren't even slaves, just workers. As for the Romans and Hitler, it was probably because the Jews were a minority with different beliefs and a different culture from the majority. The Jews did not have their own country anymore during World War II, and were scattered across Europe, but they did not give up on their culture, and therefore a lot of people thought they did not fit in, and since they weren't Christian and Europe had been very religious for centuries before, the Jewish people were seen as different, and those who are different are very often treated badly. Hitler not only hated Jews, he also hated Gypsies, homosexuals and handicapped people. I think the centuries long hatred for Jews was all because the Jews did not have their own country, so they instead lived in other countries and never gave up on their culture, so they became outcasts.
No, we have been hated since the beginning of time. _____________ There is nothing to be gained by exaggerating, and much to be lost. The 'we've-always-been-so-hated' view expressed by some Jews, though understandable, is very bitter and suggests that the Jews are a people living in some sense under a curse. Having said that, I would date the demonization of the Jews from the First Crusade (1096) and it is fair to say that it has been remarkably persistent. However, there have also been periods of tolerance - for example, in the 17th-19th centuries and again in the 20th century. There have also been enormous variations from country to country.
