The emancipation of the Jews enabled them to own land, enter the civil service, and serve as officers in the national armed forces. It created the impression for some others—particularly those who felt left behind, traumatized by change, or unable to achieve occupational satisfaction and economic security in accordance with their expectations—that Jews were displacing non-Jews in professions traditionally reserved for Christians. It also created for some the impression that at the same time, Jews were being overrepresented in future-oriented professions of the late nineteenth century: finance, banking, trade, industry, medicine, law, journalism, art, music, literature, and theater.
Sounds a lot like current Islamophobia in Europe, the immigrants are taking our jobs.
In summary, 18th-century antisemitism was a multifaceted phenomenon driven by religious prejudices, economic tensions, and evolving social and political contexts, with roots in the medieval past but taking on new forms in the Enlightenment era.
Hitler capitalized on existing anti-semitism to further his goals, just like Trump is using anti immigration sentiment to further his goals and Netanyahu is furthering anti Arab/Muslim sentiments for his. It's the same story as always.

Originally both Jews and Palestinians were Caanites. In fact ME Jews and Palestinians share the same ancestry. Most that remained in the area, after the Roman invasion, converted to Islam which became the dominant religion in the Ottoman Empire.
However Jews and Muslims still lived peacefully together
While Islam was the dominant religion, the empire also included significant populations of Christians, Jews, and other religious minorities, who were often governed under a system of religious autonomy known as the millet system.

While the Bible portrays a clear distinction between the Israelites and the Canaanites, modern scholarship suggests that the early Israelites were likely part of the Canaanite population. They may have been rural villagers, displaced peasants, or pastoral groups who gradually coalesced into a distinct group with their own identity and traditions.
And most of that wealth in Israel is imported... setting up and supporting its high tech industry which is now suffering brain drain. https://www.timesofisrael.com/war-spurs-brain-drain-outflow-of-israeli-high-tech-employees-report-finds/

And pretty much relying on a permanent war economy nowadays https://www.securityincontext.org/posts/merchants-of-death-israels-permanent-war-economy
But if you want to boil it all down to, Jews are smarter thus they hate them... Maybe learn some history.
Now why Jews (who are not a race) are more intelligent (at least in IQ tests) is because of their religion and traditions. Education! The Torah strongly promotes education. Jewish tradition places a high value on learning and studying, particularly the Torah itself, and it commands parents to educate their children. This emphasis on education is seen as crucial for both individual development and the continuity of Jewish life and tradition.Â
Education, the very thing Trump is dismantling further...
(And why I put at least in IQ tests in parenthesis is because with all that available intelligence Israel has still not found a way to peacefully co-exist with their neighbors) |
