indyvidual,

I be;ieve that during those centuries before Christ, the
Hebrews (early Jews) experienced intermittent persecution
because they refused to adopt the religion of the locale
or ruler and worship the idols of the Kingdoms of the
Middle East as was the custom at this time.

They refused to worship idols and this was seen as stubborn
and was resented.

Hi Foxy, to answer your question as best I can.

It may have something to do with the fact Judaism is the weakest of the three great monotheistic religions centred on the Middle East and in competition with each other. For most of the past two millennia Christianity and Islam have mostly been in balance but not without conflict, they have certainly been in competition with each other over control of both hearts and minds as well as territory.

The myth that the Jews were responsible for the downfall of the Christian redeemer Jesus Christ has added to the demonising of them by Christians. The spread of the Jewish population throughout Europe and their economic success has also added to resentment and hate. Some describe the 'Holocaust' as the last great act of Christianity against the Jews.

Dear Paul,

I thought that the Bible states that the Romans killed
Christ. That in those times people could not be crucified
unless the Romans gave official permission. Also, I thought
that the Vatican exonerated the Jews from the killing of
Christ. So why are the Jews still being blamed?

yuyutsu,

You told us that you wanted to live in the outback without
clothes and only primitive weapons and asked for our thoughts.
We gave them to you, including some of the consequences that
those actions could bring. However - whether you choose to
do that or not - is entirely up to you. Go try it and let us
know how you get on. There may be laws against wondering
around naked in the outback on other people's properties -
the police and property owners may have some concerns. As may
park rangers, et cetera. I guess it all depends exactly
where you choose to roam and how you choose to live. And what
the laws are in those regions. And whether you kept spotted
and reported on.

There's so many factors involved in your choices here. Also
I'm not sure which Indigenous people choose to live the way
you're describing. You just may be a leader in the field.
It would probably be a newsworthy experiment.

Now as for Transgender people? They also have to go through a
process if they choose to have their bodiess modified. I
believe that certain laws are in place for that as well. I
have already made my position clear in this discussion. I wish
them well. But it's a complex issue - made very difficult for
them.

Oooooops.

Sorry wrong discussion to Yuyutsu.
My apologies.

Foxy,
I have the feeling the Jewish are unpopular because of their apparent, based on say-so, controlling part in world finance & politics. The entertainment industry appears to be spear-headed by them. This could make many people see it as cultural undermining of society i.e. a control mechanism.
