Nazis were socialists, the brothers of communists. Hardly conservative.
Time for a reality check. National Socialism is Fascism. They destroy labor unions and the 1% industrialists are closely allied with the politicians.
Sort of like the Republicans.
Yep, just what I thought! You hear claims on Fox News and the internet and you take it as a universal truth (unquestioned at that). In the two colleges I attended I never ran into a anti-Jewish professor. I ran into a couple of individuals that weren't fond of Israel, but that's not the same thing as being anti-Jewish! And there's no reason for me to Google universities, I spent time in them allowing me for develop an opinion, independent of media bias...
But for your edification, here is one on Europe: [SIZE=1] Seventy years after the liberation of Auschwitz, violence and hatred against Jews is on the rise, especially in the Middle East and among Muslims in Europe
Jews are overwhelmingly victims of religious hate crime according to the FBI
It looks like anti semitism is a much bigger problem than isamophobia.
Religious bias
Of the 1,223 victims of anti-religious hate crimes:
60.3 percent were victims of crimes motivated by their offenders’ anti-Jewish bias.
13.7 percent were victims of anti-Islamic (Muslim) bias.
6.1 percent were victims of anti-Catholic bias.
4.3 percent were victims of bias against groups of individuals of varying religions (anti-multiple religions, group).
3.8 percent were victims of anti-Protestant bias.
0.6 percent were victims of anti-Atheist/Agnostic bias.
11.2 percent were victims of bias against other religions (anti-other religion). (Based on Table 1.)
I'm not surprised. Some Europeans are big anti-semites. For thousands of years, every couple of generations somebody over there would decide to kill a bunch of European Jews on some pretext. The holocaust was just the straw that broke the camel's back it seems like. But stereotypes etc about Jewish ppl are more common over there, whereas in the US certain types of jokes are not acceptable.
Even though it is unfortunate how they are fighting over there in Israel, I can understand this is why many Jews who came from Europe feel they need a country to call home. They may still feel like visitors in other countries because of the history of violence. But it is ironic because Israel does not seem like a safe place either.
What causes anti Semitism? Why have they been hated since the beginning of time?
Many are jealous of the guy with the nicer car, the bigger house. Why is this the case? Because of the value that Jews place on education. Education leads to a better life style because in most cases it leads to a better job.
Now, before you make me a saint, some believe they forced Bush Jr. to go into Iraq.

This is one of the reasons it seems the Europeans were always targeting Jewish communities. One of the ways they could make a living was to lend money. They only lent it to Christians (I think Jews forgive one another their debts every __ years), and charged them interest. If I'm not mistaken, it may not be allowed for them to charge one another interest. Sometimes this could get the debtors in deep do do, and they'd get pissed and say..."Time to kill some of the Jews."
Another reason was fundamental Christianity. Some people would read the new testament, and say Jews killed Jesus! OMG and then kill a bunch of Jews for that reason. But basically in human history people have enjoyed killing one another. Since the Jews live in communities kind of separate from the Christians, IMO it just made them easy targets.

It is important to note that being a Jew has nothing to do with a person's religion, race, or beliefs.
IMO that's crazy. I know a lot of Jewish people seem to believe that in Hollywood...but what about the Christians who accepted Jesus and converted way back in the day. They're not Jewish. All human beings are related, and when you get down to it, you can probably say everyone is X or Y. Judaism is a religion. You can force someone who is an atheist or converts to Christianity or Islam or whatever to say they're Jewish.
I honestly don't know. I have always wondered. Why did Moses lead them from Egypt? Why did the German people go along with Nazi's and hate them. There must be one constant. I don't even know if Jews are a religion or a race.
The Lord promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that He would make them into a great nation. When the Lord promises something, he always finds a way for it to happen, even with disbelieving generations.
Exodus 20:6
The Lord will bless a thousand generations of those who love Him. But will allow iniquity to invade three generations of those that despise Him and follow evil ways.
Jews are the most blessed people on earth, because they been blessed by the Lord longer than any other group.
Jews are gifted in every field of intellectual study as evidenced by their numbers of Nobel prizes, many are inordinately wealth, and most actively seek out wisdom.
Other groups become overwhelmed with jealousy, when they should see Jewish blessedness as a sign.

So, it sounds like the reason anti Semitism exists is jealousy of people who worked hard to better themselves according to the last few posts.
The first thing that pops into my head is the 50 year old argument between the left and right in the US. Maybe it's a 3000 year old argument. Is that the whole story? "Jealousy of the more fortunate"?

Jews Value Education
