What reasons do people give for hating Jews?
Thanks to Quora, we don’t have to speculate about why “some people” hate Jews. “Those” people have thoughtfully provided themselves and their “research” as examples and object lessons……James Howe makes the standard case that Jews control all the wealth. Little known fact, supplied by James: Jews are so sly and manipulative that they financed the Roman conquest of….(wait for it)….themselves!Sumit Roy Who believes ---without a shred of irony---that Jews bring hatred upon themselves because of “their Ghetto outlook. Jews fail to ‘get culturally assimilated to the local culture.’ ”At the same time—and despite Jews’ distance from other peoples’ culture--Jews still manage to create a “globalist culture where they gradually control government bodies, banks, financial institutions and media propaganda.”Bill Robertson You might think that successive generations of Czars, Czarists, Communists, Fascists, Stalin, Nazi’s and Nazi sympathizers—-to say nothing of 140 Million Russians— could screw up a country for 100 years all by themselves.You would be wrong. It was the Jews. As Bill points out, Jews—-when they’re not running their Global Banks and lending money—are all dedicated Communists who are largely responsible for all that ails Russia.Harv Little A Christian who believes in both a “religion of loving not hating” and Nazi propagandaAnonymous who is against both Money Lending and Communism.Albrecht Rodenbach, an intellectual who doesn’t trust any books written in the last hundred years---and, mind you, a man who believes that Jews have many fine qualities—points out that Jews regrettably, have “a mixture of cultural and genetic differences [that] resulted in Jews gradually taking over control of every economy where they're given equal rights.”Kaname Fujiwara A man who believes that the world hates Jews because of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians: “the world” being a place with great fondness and notable sympathy for Middle Eastern Muslims.But that’s just recent history. Kaname also points out that the Catholic Church took a principled stand —between Crusades---against usury and he is justifiably outraged that the Jews defied the Church’s teaching on the subject.
Questions on the Holocaust?
One thing that is essential when writing any essays on the Holocaust is the scope of the Holocaust. Yes, the volume of information can be overwhelming, but I lwill limit my answer to short and clear points and provide you with some further evidence/resources that you will need. 1. The Holocaust was NOT limited to relocating, or the extermination of Jews only. 2. The Germans built concentration camps to house, and make "undesirables" work. In effect, it was slave labor. 3. The invasion of the Soviet Union was a political war, it was the German Nazis and their European Allies fighting against Communism (Nazi propaganda liked to spread misinformation about the Jews being the supporters of Communism). 4. The estimated 5,000,000 non-Jewish victims of the Holocaust consisted of: Polish Christians and Catholics, Communists, Russian Prisoners of War, Gypsies, the Elderly, the Disabled, the Mentally Retarded, Homosexuals, Criminals, Anti-Fascists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Social Democrats, and Socialists.
How can Holocaust-deniers be so, when Adolf Hitler threatened to kill all Jews in Europe?
Peculiar isn’t it?I have some familiarity with holocaust denial arguments having dealt with them on Quora. I have grown weary of refuting their arguments.Common arguments are:Nuremberg confessions were coerced with torture and weren’t genuine.Forgers created the documents that prove there was a Holocaust.There was a Holocaust but it wasn’t that bad.The prisoners had swimming pools for recreational purposes. They were, of course, restricted to the guards, other staff, and a few privileged prisoners.The prisoners didn’t fight back.Stalin killed more people.The Allies killed more civilians with their bombing raids.Hitler was actually protecting the Jews.No gas chambers were found.Zyklon B is not deadly for humans.The wood used to build the chambers had a lower concentration of Zyklon B than the wood walls of the delousing chambers. (a much lower concentration of Zyklon B kills humans than insects, 300 ppm vs 16,000 ppm).No German plans were ever found mentioning any plans to exterminate Jews.No mass graves were ever found.What evidence there is was faked.The death camps were pre-immigration camps with delousing stations.No piles of human ashes were ever found.Their arguments are easily refuted but pop up again and again.Prominent Holocaust Deniers tend to be sour and possibly disturbed pseudoscientists like David Irving who was discredited when he lost a libel case after he was found to have misrepresented his facts and his books distorted facts about Hitler. David Irving was eventually prosecuted as a denier. He was driven out of some countries and his reputation as a historian ruined. David IrvingDavid IrvingFred Leuchter was hired to defend Ernst Zundel, another denier, was dismissed because during the proceedings it became apparent that he had neither the qualifications nor experience to act in such a position. His experiments (made on samples he stole from Auschwitz) were also shown to be fatally flawed and at odds with reputable scientists. He was prosecuted for representing himself as an engineer despite being educated as a historian and having no license. Leuchter reportFred LeuchterFamous Male Holocaust deniersHolocaust denial
If there's a God - why the Holocaust?
This is one of the greatest theological questions of our time, especially for Jews. Many people say that you can't blame G-d for the evil that men do. Some say that the Holocaust was so evil that trying to find reason in it is just too much and we shouldn't try. I can't answer your question, but if you're actually interested in a variety of answers I strongly recommend that instead of yahoo answers you read the following book: Good and Evil After Auschwitz: Ethical Implications for Today, edited by Jack Bemporad, John T Pawlikowski, Joseph Sievers When bad things happen to good people by Harold Kushner is a down-to-earth book that tackles a difficult question. You should also read Rav Soloveitchik (Joseph Dov Soloveitchik) and Eliezer Berkovits, as well as the Lubavitche Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson. I just googled this and got the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_t... try that, too/
In what way is the concept of "white privilege" different from Hitler's concept of "Jewish privilege"?
Race A is on average wealthier, and more likely to hold positions in academia, and run businesses. Race B is less wealthy on average, and more likely to hold lower level jobs. Therefore, society should vilify and create laws that strip them of their "privilege". Society should also make them feel guilty for belonging to Race A. Up until the actual Holocaust, where is the difference?
Does Jewish privilege exist in Israel?
In Israel one finds (1) Jews and non-Jews citizens of Israel; (2) Jews not yet citizens of Israel; (3) Arab Palestinians citizens of Israel; (4) Non-Jews living in Israel; (5) Non-Jewish Inhabitants of Judah and Samaria.(1), (2), and (3) are more or less treated equally. No (1) has to serve in the IDF or do Equivalent Services or obtain a deferment. The Service regularly entails (for males) about 3 years full-time plus about 30 to 40 days per year though in practice it is often much less nowadays. Serving in the IDF can be difficult but in the end it may confer certain benefits and social advantages. (2) and (3) do not have to serve. Neither do Jews who learn Torah full-time.(4) and (5) have less rights and may be inconvenienced for security reasons. Nevertheless most of (4) are pleased to be here.All of the above is the legal picture. In practice there are differences from place to place. There are numerous exceptions for better or for worse. The Ultra-Orthodox Jews in (1) and (2) are discriminated against and not accepted into the Civil Service. This is similar to the situation that prevailed in Poland before the Holocaust. Despite this and other matters most of the Ultra-Orthodox prefer to live in Israel. Ultra-Orthodox and other Jews who learn Torah full-time may receive modest (but much appreciated) assistance in different ways.Arabs who live in Judah and Samaria (no. 5) do not really belong to Israel in the official sense. More should be done to facilitate their emigration to congenial surroundings in Latin America or the like.
