All these people are talking about symptoms, but to really see the reason for the widespread hatred of the Jews you have to go back . . . way back about 4 thousand years, to the Old Testament, and look at the beliefs and history of the Jews and Arabs.

According to the Old Testament, the Jews invaded Palestine and expelled the Arab peoples. So that's reason number one. Reason number two is that according to the Pentateuch (the writings of Moses that eventually became the first five books of the Bible) the Jews are the chosen people of god. And they made sure that all the surrounding peoples knew this. This is why Hitler hated the Jews. He thought that the Germans were the superior race and the people of god, and he wanted to exterminate the competition.

And the Jews hate the Arabs because of their beliefs too. According to the Koran, Abraham, Joshua, and Moses were all just prophets leading up to the great prophet Muhammad. And of course there's the whole thing with the Temple of the Rock that happens to be sitting on the former site of the Temple Mount, which was destroyed by the Romans in AD 70.

It doesn't matter what you think about the Bible, or if it's true. All these things are externally and independently verified historical facts.

The vicious cycle continues.
