Hey this is a 100% serious question, and maybe you can explain it to me. I have always wondered about this. I guess I'm naive af, perhaps it was my upbringing having never been around alot of this stuff, we had bigger things to worry about I guess lol... but why is there so much hate directed at the Jewish people? I mean there are dozens of small religious sects out there right? Ya got Amish, Mormon's, etc etc etc.... so why the Jews? And I am being totally serious. Is it the banking thing from centuries ago? Why is this such a big deal? What's behind all this? Edit... and yeah, I guess I could wiki "antisemitism" ... but I thought I'd just ask here. Get the unabridged version.
Ask this guy Crown Heights riot Main article: Crown Heights riot The Crown Heights riot began on August 19, 1991, after a car driven by a Jewish man, and part of a procession led by an unmarked police car, went through an intersection and was struck by another vehicle causing it to veer onto the sidewalk where it accidentally struck and killed a seven-year-old Guyanese boy named Gavin Cato and severely injured his cousin Angela. Witnesses could not agree upon the speed and could not agree whether the light was yellow or red. One of the factors that sparked the riot was the arrival of a private ambulance, which was later discovered to be on the orders of a police officer who was worried for the Jewish driver's safety, removed him from the scene while Cato lay pinned under his car.[33] After being removed from under the car, Cato and his cousin were treated soon after by a city ambulance. Caribbean-American and African-American residents of the neighborhood rioted for four consecutive days fueled by rumors that the private ambulance had refused to treat Cato.[33][34] During the riot black youths looted stores,[33] beat Jews in the street,[33] and clashed with groups of Jews, hurling rocks and bottles at one another[35] after Yankel Rosenbaum, a visiting student from Australia, was stabbed and killed by a member of a mob while some chanted "Kill the Jew", and "get the Jews out".[36] Sharpton marched through Crown Heights and in front of the headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement, shortly after the riot, with about 400 protesters (who chanted "Whose streets? Our streets!" and "No justice, no peace!"), in spite of Mayor David Dinkins' attempts to keep the march from happening.[37][33] Some commentators felt Sharpton inflamed tensions by making remarks that included "If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house."[38] In his eulogy for Cato, Sharpton said, "The world will tell us he was killed by accident. Yes, it was a social accident...It’s an accident to allow an apartheid ambulance service in the middle of Crown Heights...Talk about how Oppenheimer in South Africa sends diamonds straight to Tel Aviv and deals with the diamond merchants right here in Crown Heights. The issue is not anti-Semitism; the issue is apartheid...All we want to say is what Jesus said: If you offend one of these little ones, you got to pay for it. No compromise, no meetings, no kaffe klatsch, no skinnin’ and grinnin’. Pay for your deeds."[39] In the decades since, Sharpton has conceded that his language and tone "sometimes exacerbated tensions" though he insisted that his marches were peaceful.[40][41] In a 2019 speech to a Reform Jewish gathering, Sharpton said that he could have "done more to heal rather than harm". He recalled receiving a call from Coretta Scott King at the time, during which she told him "sometimes you are tempted to speak to the applause of the crowd rather than the heights of the cause, and you will say cheap things to get cheap applause rather than do high things to raise the nation higher".[42][43]
In the bigger picture, that's relatively recent, and in a way, it emphasizes my question as to the real roots of this stuff. I mean this stuff goes pretty far back. Beyond Sharpton that's for sure.
In my opine, it comes from the old Jew testament, where "God" told them they were the only chosen people to occupy the earth. They were the only ones that would be lead to God and "saved" by God's grace. I really think it started with the whole mystical idea of the Passover, In Exodus, where God skipped over the Jewish kids and killed all the first born of Egypt because the Jews's God, Jehovah, told them the secret way to keep from their own first-born from being killed. It was a punishment on the Egyptians for enslaving the Jews to do their bidding. And as with all things, it all snowballed downhill from there. Somewhere in that mess, the Jews felt they were the entitled race. There is a quote I recall from Paramhansa Yogonanda he made in the early 20th century which kinda' encapsulates this idea... I am trying to remember it...Paraphrasing here..."The way to enlightenment cannot come from a "chosen-people complex". That stuck with me when I heard that so many years ago. Chosen-people complex. The idea that you are better and more deserved than anyone else simply because your God told you so. The rest of the world has totally resented that for 5000 years. The idea that Jews just keep going neener-neener, we are special, and all you Gentiles are shit and will amount to nothing. Obviously there are many and much deeper layers to this story and idea, but that is off the top of my head, since you asked. As for the whole banking thing? Media control? Etc? That is just collateral blame for issues we do not like. Scapegoating, out of habit. Talk about an old stain. But I will tell you one thing the Jews keep doing which is hateful, and it is that God-awful Manischewitz wine. My GOD that should be illegal. I cannot believe I survived the saders I sat at. That shit is the...Well, you know the fusion experiment that was just successful? Where do you think they got the potential energy from? It was that nasty-ass uber-sweet wine. That shit will kickstart a star's chain-reaction, yes sir.
Ya know, I have a dear friend that refers to himself as a "jack-mormon".... "Van.. I've been drinking the 'Devil's brew'". God love him. And that's why I asked you... my gut is you're a "jack jew"... and I totally don't mean that with ANY disrespect. You're as much of a Jew as I am a Catholic. Or as he is a Mormon. Well either way, I'm not totally satisfied with your answer lol, there's gotta be more to it than that.
Of COURSE there is more to it than that. This is a 5000+ year history, and there is always a lot of filtering that goes on through the years. So much that was known is now so much is lost, and all de-evolves into a stereo-type. Like every other religion. Hell, you should look into the Kabbalah. That will put hair on your ass. Just use the New York approach of trying to understand this shit...
"So much that was known is now so much is lost" >>>> © @Overnight. You didn't even realize you just struck gold. That takes VZ to spot. Excellent words. I didn't have to throw that in btw. You're fortunate I like you.
Whatever. My browser blocks that bs, Those words were timeless though. That said.... always give credit where credit is due... and that's to you. Excellent words dude. Beautiful words.
