Recommended Posts

So I was on Youtube watching a trailer for a movie I saw called "Defiance" about a group of Jews fighting against the Nazis in WWII... Well one of the commentors there was being anti-semitic... His name is playster3 and he commented on a trailer for the movie on youtube... He called Jews "Coniving, lying, cheating, backstabber"

Discuss Anti-Semitism

Anti-Semitism stems from history, where the Jews/Israelites had a habit of conniving, lying, and cheating to get what they want, and their tendency to flaunt "We're the chosen people"

Joseph tricked pharaoh into giving his father and brothers the best land in Egypt. 2 of his brothers murdered an entire village after given empty promises of marriage if they would be circumcised, to punish everyone for 2 men raping their sister. Other such things happened throughout earlier history, too.

That being said, it was mostly by specific individuals, an people just blanket them all due to general prejudice. They want someone to hate, and the Jews appeared to be successful, so they must be backstabbing and cheating as usual.

I completely disagree with Anti-Semetism, just explaining a reason for it, albeit a stupid one.

Antisemitism developed from several notions - the Catholic Church decree regarding "Christ-Killing Jews" (which wasn't actually rescinded until the 1960s, one might add), the secrecy and isolationism of many Hassidic circles and the fact that Jews were generally financially successful. Jews often held top banking and law posts and many were highly successful merchants (as many are still today). They were an easy target because they were always a minority and didn't belong to any nation. This combined with the other factors made them easy scapegoats.
