<SIGH> Anti-Semitism. I don't know what the Jewish people have done
that produces all the terrible hate.

 
There's a long history that goes back to the execution of Jesus, which
was blamed on the Jews.

But, of course it was the Romans who actually executed him after
severely torturing him. I don't see so much hatred for Italians.

The basic problem was that the banking system
was largely run by Jews because Jesus evicted the money changers from
the Temple. Therefore, money lending must be evil and Christians were
not allowed to participate in banking. So, banking was left to the
Jews. Greedy bankers (Shylock) were not very popular and generally
hated.

Hard to believe that so much hatred can be passed down through that
many generations. That part of the world has never gotten rid of the
intertribal hatred, but it upsets me more that the so called Western
World, that was never a part of the Middle Eastern tribalism, can't
get over it, especially when the dominant religion in the Western
World preaches brotherly love.

Sometimes, I wonder what the world would be like if Jesus had lived,
established a dynasty in Israel, and ruled according to the customs of
the time. Offhand, I suspect history would have followed much the
same path that we know from history, starting with Rome dealing
harshly with the uncooperative local ruler.

I don't know that he could have done a better job of establishing
Christianity than was done in his name.

Liebermann hasn't even a passing clue about anything as far as I can tell, He hasn't

read the bible and hence shoots off his mouth without knowing
ANYTHING. While the Jewish leadership was concerned about losing
donations from Christians, Jesus was a Jew. And it was the Romans who
crucified Jesus.
 
And once again Tommy flaunts his ignorance! "He hasn't read the
Bible"?
 
The Christians stole the Jewish Holy books and renamed then "
The Old Testament" and in Judaism every child when they become 12 or
13 years of age, and are expected to be held responsible for knowing
Jewish ritual law, tradition, and ethics.
 
And your comment, "the Jewish leadership was concerned about losing
donations from Christians", if you are talking about  "Jesus Cleansing
the Temple", then yes, he drove out the people selling live stock for
ritual slaughter and money changers who were changing Roman money to
Jewish currency for offerings at the temple.
 
But no donations were lost "from Christians"... there weren't any
Christians.
 
But the question does arise, once the temple was cleansed where did
the poor worshiper find the goat to sacrifice? Or the Jewish money to
donate"

John, where do you get some of your ideas. All three major religions in
the world are based upon the Jewish Miqra. The Christians call it the Old
Testiment and the Islamics call it the Towra or Torah. Noby "stole" anything.

That rather too simplistic really. Judaism has fairly low numbers even if
it’s the original that Christianity and Islam are reboots of.

Hinduism is unrelated and is by some margin much older! And is comparable
in numbers to Christianity and Islam.

Where as Judaism in terms of population is closer to say Sikhism even then
around half the numbers.

Politically western countries tend to be more interested in Israel than
