So yeah, I know everyone doesn't hate Jews but stick with me.
I was raised Catholic, 12 years of nuns kicking my ass, all that. I still identify as Christian but since my great grandmother was Jewish I sometimes identify as a Jew for that reason. I'm not an anti-semite but I reject organized religion so keep that in mind.
Historically Jews have been persecuted. Rome, Byzantine, Ottoman Empire, Asia, list goes on. Nazis, old Europe, nobody wanted them.
In today's modern society, in large part because of the advent of Israel they're shunned also, however as an ethnic group they've been among the most productive, most artistic, most humanly advanced group in human history.
So why all the angst over them?
I think it's groups that stick together.
Gypsies, travelers, Jews, Chinese, groups that stick together to make themselves stronger, they're often hated for that. Weaker people use anger and hatred as a tool because they're not smart enough to compete.
