My take on why they hate the Jews is the only logical reason, at least in my mind. Otherwise, this thousands year fascination and oppression of Jews makes no sense. It was described in metaphorical form in the Bible, more precisely, the Book of Job. The devil tells G-d the only reason Job worships him is he has showered Job with blessings. He has bribed him to obtain faith, devotion, and love. The devil says let me take them away and see what happens. G-d says OK, but whatever you do you may not kill Job. Although Job is blameless, the devil causes all sorts of calamity to fall upon Job. He loses his family, his wealth, his health, and his friends try to console him by using reason and explaining how he is at fault in some way. But we know he is blameless, it is the work of the devil. In the end, G-d restores Job's health, family, and prosperity. The Jew is Job in the bible. They are blameless, and the devil poisons the minds of men to cause calamity upon the Jews. But G-d will not allow them to be destroyed. Someday, as with Job, G-d will restore the Jews and end this devil spawned hatred.

Probably this is the most thoughtful response I have ever got on this. I won't steal your commentary but you should write it up.

Thank you. I'll think about it. Meanwhile, if you attribute use of my commentary it isn't stealing, it is sharing.

Appreciate it. Atheists and agnostics will scoff, but who cares. Given the historical animosity toward Jews and conflicting rationales over the centuries, it is the only explanation that has ever made sense to me.

“They are the only religion that doesn’t proselytize.” Actually, Hindus don’t proselytize either. But that’s about it: Jews and Hindus.
