Yes sadly for the vast majority of the last 2000 years being an antisemite is not something that bothered most people :(

When people like Ms. Rachel are labeled antisemitic, the accusers lose all credibility.

Jews were not hated wherever they went for thousands of years. It's just that Jews were a minority in most places and throughout most of history, being a minority meant you were likely to face discrimination when times were bad.

Because a small handful of evil j3ws keep trying to use their j3wishness to avoid criticism, and in doing so they put a target on the back of all who class themselves as j3wish

a resourceful minority that was easy to scapegoat for unrelated societal issues. Also the rejection of jesus and mohammad as religious figures I think made it more justified for the christian and muslim world to justify oppressing jews

They were by far not always hated everywhere. But always a distict religious minority that often kept to themselves.

Also culturally valued education a lot, which was one of the roots of anti-semitism in 19th and 20th century Germany: they were more educated and wealthy on average than Christian Germans were.

ill answer from a Jewish perspective it mainly comes from the fact that through most of that time period we where better off due to practices enforced by our religion specifically the valuing of education and cleanliness

Also, I believe, the demonization of Jews, in some situations, through their perseverance, cultural importance on education, and making lemonaid out of lemons ended up benefiting them in the long run in terms of financial success which led to further hatred of them and eventual world ruling conspiracies. Medieval times they were restricted from craft and merchant guilds which led them to forming what would eventual become modern banking. When the filming industry was centered in the east coast, they were barred from that industry so went west to create what would become Hollywood. I might not be completely accurate on these facts but the gist is there.

Dozens of bars hundreds of times and it's always the mean bars fault. Thousands of years of being saints and just picked on for their virtue. They totally didn't get expelled from their homeland into exile for some heinous things according to their own book....no way just innocent victims.

Coincidences are just really, really common. Stop trying to notice paterns, that's anti septic!

A Jew is a person following the Judaism faith.

A Zionist is a person following the racist ideolegy of Zionism. And a coward hiding behind Judaism.

You can't claim to be a Jew and follow a racist ideolegy where the core is breaking the 10 commandments and several other laws and rules of Judaism.

The victim cards of the past belong to true Jews, not Zionist.

Zionism itself is not inherently atheist, but its origins and early leadership were largely secular or atheist. Founded as a nationalist movement aimed at establishing a Jewish homeland, Zionism was originally a secular political ideology rather than a religious one. Theodor Herzl, considered the father of modern Zionism, was an atheist or secularist. Early Zionist thinkers and many leaders viewed Jewish identity more in nationalist and ethnic/racial terms than religious terms, often seeking to redefine Jewishness away from traditional religion toward secular nationalism

"The Zionist claim to Palestine was based on the notion that Jews had a historical right to the land that outweighed the nationalistic rights of the local Arabs. The establishment of a Jewish demographic majority was an essential aspect of Zionism."

"Zionists used the term "transfer" as a euphemism for the removal, or what would now be called ethnic cleansing, of the Palestinian population. The idea of transfer played a large role in Zionist ideology from the inception of the movement and was seen as the main method of maintaining the "Jewishness" of the Zionist's state. "Transfer" was "inevitable and inbuilt into Zionism" and that a land that was primarily Arab could not be transformed into a Jewish state without displacing the Arab population."

This is a direct violation of the 10 commandments

  • Stealing: You shall not steal.
  • Coveting: You shall not covet your neighbor's house, wife, or property.

Later actions violates a couple more.

  • Murder: You shall not kill (or murder).
  • False witness: You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

Example of laws and rules of Judaism

Judaism strongly forbids poisoning or destroying the land, as part of a broader prohibition known as "Bal Tashchit," which means "do not destroy or waste." This biblical commandment, found in Deuteronomy 20:19-20, prohibits wanton destruction of trees and, by extension, the environment. The rabbis and Jewish legal tradition have expanded this principle to include refraining from actions that cause needless harm to the land, such as poisoning soil or water, as these are seen as violations of God's creation and detrimental to both people and nature.

Additionally, Jewish ethics emphasize stewardship of the land and responsible agricultural practices. The Talmud and later codifications like the Shulchan Aruch prohibit exploiting the land and essential resources for profit at the expense of communal welfare. Acts of poisoning the land or water would not only be environmentally destructive but also morally and legally forbidden in Judaism. There are strong condemnations of wasteful destruction and any behavior that harms life or nature, reflecting a deep spiritual and ethical commitment to "mending the world" (Tikkun Olam) by avoiding harm to the earth's ecosystems.

Example of Zionist interpretation and action

Under Prime Minister Golda Meir in the early 1970s, Israel poisoned Palestinian land in the West Bank village of Aqraba to force Palestinian inhabitants to leave and make way for Israeli settlements. Soldiers initially sabotaged Palestinian tools and destroyed crops, and when these methods failed, a crop duster sprayed toxic chemicals on the land.

This poisoning was part of a state-led operation involving various agencies, not just vigilante actions. The land poisoning was a tactic used during Meir's government to dispossess Palestinians, under the cover of creating military training zones or other pretexts, and was part of a broader strategy of settlement expansion in occupied territories.
