I'm currently reading Exodus by Leon Euris. It's an amazing book that reveals escaping Jews from Cyprus island to Palestine from British detention camps during post-WWII era.

I'm curious as to how tens of millions of Jews got murdered and blamed for all problems. Why Jews?

Crusaders killed Jews because of religious differences right?
Nazis killed Jews only because they didn't have blonde hair and blue eyes or was there more reason?

Because they eat babies

Btw,

Crusader mostly killed Muslims
Nazis killed Jews because they thought the jews were the reason their nation was a pile of dung, not because of WW1. If blonde hair blue eyes was the reason, why didn't thye kill hitler?

A lot of Christians hated Jews because they blamed them for killing Jesus.

The predjudice just escalated from there.

The Jews were blaimed for killing Jesus Christ, though if you read the New Testament you should realize that if Jesus hadn't paid the debt of everyone's sin by suffering and dying on the cross that Christianity wouldn't work.

Also, in the Catholic church people weren't allowed to charge interest on loans. If you were Catholic, there was no money to be made in banking. So the Jews took on the role of being bankers and lenders. As a result, the Jewish people have traditionally had more money.

The Nazi's singled out the Jews partly because Hitler was crazy (ethnic purity), but then again they singled out anyone (black, asian, etc) who wasn't aryan. The rest of the Nazi party went along with Hitler because they knew that they could take the Jew's money and property, and use it to feed the German people and fund the war.

As far as the Crusades go... I always thought that the Crusaders were fighting against Muslems.

That is so stupid. What defines Christians is that Christ came to earth as God's son to DIE for us. He came. to. die. What an oxymoron.

Some people think that the Plague was started by Jews poisoning the wells of people who wouldn't pay their debts. Crazy, huh?

Winner.

The practice was called "usury" at the time and was looked down upon by the Christians with much distrust, suspicion and a bit of envy because of the financial power this garnered them. IIRC, this is the main root of anti-Semitism in Europe.

Hey guys, God choose my family over yours, so your a bunch of worthless pagans, which is why were gonna take all of you land and money, because God says we can, he loves us and not you.

Saying that your God's favorite won't earn you many friends....

They were going to get the holy land from the Muslims, but they managed to massacre hundreds of Jewish communities along the way.

Oh, I see. There are some people there who happen to be the best in the world at what they do, and they happen to be Jewish, so that means all Jews are multimillionaires and they all work in Hollywood. Got it.

The simple fact is that if there was no religion, there wouldn't be any wars.

Go ahead and argue, but you can't. If the population of earth became advanced enough to accept the truth of no God as is written in the bible, then they would be advanced enough to know that murder and war is no the answer.

Religion is war, religion is the devil.

Because they are the chosen people. Everybody wants to be chosen, but it's simply not possible unfortunately.
