That’s one view. Another is that some people need to hate, to feel superior, and it is easiest to hate a small group that can be defied as Other. Jews have been establishing trading depots far beyond their borders for heading toward 3,000 years — some anti-Jewish stereotypes date back to the Classical Greeks. | [IsraelNationalNews] Ever since I can remember, I have been confused by antisemitism. I get it, they hate us. But why?
Well, Jewish scripture says "Esav sonei l’Yaakov"—Esau will always hate Jacob. But that doesn’t sit well with me. They hate us just because?
I need an explanation. But I’ve never found one that satisfied me. Until recently.
Here is where it gets controversial and politically incorrect. If you’re easily offended, stop scrolling. Here goes:
Let’s examine the time periods in history in which antisemitism was high. You’ll notice an inverse correlation: The less morality in a society, the more antisemitism there is.
Think about it: Ancient Egypt, the Greek empire, the Roman empire, the Nazi empire and we’ll get to today soon. All those empires tried to annihilate the Jews. All those empires lacked morality. They behaved in promiscuous ways, they tried to deny God and put the human being and his ego in the center of the world. They tried to convince the world that the planet revolved around them. They wanted no part in morality.
Let’s remember what the source of morality is: It’s the Torah, the Bible, the Old Testament. Call it whatever you want, but the world knows it’s immoral to steal, lie and murder from the Torah. The Torah is the epitome of morality. Thus, the messengers of morality are those who delivered the Torah to the world—the Jews.
So, despite assimilation, despite the Jews in America trying to be more American than the Americans, despite Jews trying to hide the light of their message, Jew-hatred is at an all-time high, because the world yearns subconsciously for that light and hates itself for doing so. So, they blame the messenger. They blame the Jews.
