How did dehumanizing Jews help Nazi cause?
Of course the de-humanising had already started, but much like in any prison the idea was to take away the person's sense of self:
they had to wear a uniform, they had their hair cut off, they had to wear a number and other symbols that defined them as a part of a group rather than an individual.

Does Judaism believe God is male or female?
He is non-physical, indivisible and incomparable. Jewish tradition teaches that God is beyond human comprehension; and that it is only God's revealed deeds, as He interacts with mankind and the world, that we can begin to grasp.
God is One. The concept of a dualism (as in Zoroastrianism), an independent Satan, multiple gods (polytheism; paganism) or a trinity of three in one, are all unimaginable in Judaism. Also, any belief that an intermediary between humanity and God should be used, whether as necessary or even optional, is considered heretical.
God created the universe and all existence, including time and space.
The God of Israel is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He is the guide of history, who delivered the Israelites from Egyptian slavery.
God is the source of morality and law, who gave the Torah to the Israelites at Mount Sinai.
God is immanent and personal, meaning that he relates to humanity and hears our prayers. This is the basis of the Psalms and our siddur (prayerbook).

What do you think Palestinians and the Jews should do about their disagreement?
Firstly, both sides need to come terms with two important facts.
1) Israel and Palestine Are Not Going Anywhere: Some Jews have the sense that eventually the Arab World will take the Palestinians off of them or enough will go into the Palestinian Diaspora that they will disappear. Some Palestinians believe that if they wait long enough, Israel will crumble. Both are unfounded, but lead to each side being willing to prolong the conflict in search of ultimate victory.
2) Compromise Is Necessary: Jews and Palestinians have very long wish lists. Some things on the Jewish wish list are non-starters for Palestinians such as a Unified Jerusalem, Autonomy - but not Independence, Maintenance of certain Settlements, and others. Some things on the Palestinian wish lists are non-starters for the Jews such as: the Return of Refugees, Any more land than the 1949 borders, Complete Control of the Old City, among others. Each side has to be willing to compromise the items on its wishlist so that there is a mutually acceptable solution.
Solutions typically involve using the 1949 borders with equal size land swaps as viable solutions. The Geneva Initiative of 2003 is a good example of this type of solution and is what the Jews and Palestinians would be able to do if they would just compromise on their wishlists.

What are the three main groups that made up the jewish sanhedrin?
scribes
pharisees
sadducees
Answer:
The above answer needs clarification.
1) The scribes and the Pharisees are the same thing.
2) Sadducees were among the Sanhedrin only for a relatively brief period of several decades of turmoil during the Second Temple period, after Alexander Yannai killed many Torah-sages (see Talmud, Kiddushin 66a). Other than that time, the Sanhedrin consisted only of the leading Torah-sages. (The word "pharisees" is a corruption [by Josephus] of a Hebrew word and is not used in traditional Torah-sources.)

Where did the Spanish inquisition start and end?
King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile set up the Spanish Inquisition in 1478 with the approval of Pope Sixtus IV. In contrast to the previous inquisitions, it operated completely under royal authority, though staffed by secular clergy and orders, and independently of the Holy See. It operated in Spain and in all Spanish colonies and territories, which included the Canary Islands, the Spanish Netherlands, the Kingdom of Naples, and all Spanish possessions in North, Central, and South America. It targeted primarily converts from Judaism (Conversos and Marranos) and from Islam (Moriscos or secret Moors) - both groups still resided in Spain after the end of the Islamic control of Spain - who came under suspicion of either continuing to adhere to their old religion or of having fallen back into it. Somewhat later the Spanish Inquisition took an interest in Protestants of virtually any sect, notably in the Spanish Netherlands. In the Spanish possessions of the Kingdom of Sicily and the Kingdom of Naples in southern Italy, which formed part of the Spanish Crown's hereditary possessions, it also targeted Greek Orthodox Christians. The Spanish Inquisition, tied to the authority of the Spanish Crown, also examined political cases. In the Americas, King Philip II set up two tribunals (each formally titled Tribunal del Santo Oficio de la Inquisición), one in Peru and the other in Mexico. The Mexican office administered the Audiencias of Guatemala (Guatemala, Chiapas, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica), Nueva Galicia (northern and western Mexico), Mexico (central and southeastern Mexico), and the Philippines. The Peruvian Inquisition, based in Lima, administered all the Spanish territories in South America and Panama. From 1610 a new Inquisition seat established in Cartagena (Colombia) administered much of the Spanish Caribbean in addition to Panama and northern South America. The Inquisition continued to function in North America until the Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821). In South America Simón BolÃvar abolished the Inquisition; in Spain itself the institution survived until 1834.

If the question is asking about Meshuggah, the Swedish experimental band, then the answer lies in the opinion of the asker. Whether or not their music is Satanic, or if Satanic is even a genre of music, is up to the asker to decide.
As the previous answer explains, "meshuga" is also a Yiddish (Hebrew) word. "Meshuga", "Meshugge", and other spellings are all slang words for "crazy."
______________________________________________________
Meshuggah is more like a serie of depressed & quite angry internal dialogues and essays of the shortcomings of ones "self" and it's relation to reality. Samples :
I (I 2004 EP)
This is an anomaly. Disabled. What is true? / Not destined for incarceration, I crave my nothingness
Sane (Chaosphere 1998)
Come and hear my twisted lies, the way I bend and falsify
A master of deception, user of an untrue smile
A rapist of the truth, adapting it to fit my cause
I'm the human lie, a sad composition of all things vile
This spiteful snake (Obzen 2008)
Reality - this spiteful snake, / Rearing its ugly head / Venom dripping from its grin / As it tosses yet another obstacle in our way
If given a thousand years to collect, / To process, to portray / We could never encompass the voracity / Of one single day
