You can get the idea of a main one by the things the Pharisees said about Jesus:

Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? (John 8:48)

Why do Jews and the Samaritans hate each other?

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'.


Why were Samaritans social outcasts during the time of Jesus?

There was considerable enmity between the people of Samaria and the Jews, because the Jews had conquered Samaria during the Maccabean period in the second century BCE and enslaved the Samaritans (or Samarians). The Maccabeasns had continued north and conquered Galilee, converting the people they found to Judaism. In the first century, the Samaritans were no longer subject to the Jews, but would attack any Jews attempting to cross Samaria to travel between Galilee and Judea. The story of the Good Samaritan was meant to show that even an implacable enemy of Judaism could be a good person and even help a Jew in need.

Who are the Samaritans today?

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.

Why are Samaritans not accepted by the Nation of Israel?

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.)
