Answers/Anti-Semitism

Question: Jews have been hated for centuries. Why is that?

Answer: That is a question which requires a lengthy answer. Here is the beginning of one:

There is an interesting book called [http://www.hirhome.com/israel/cruxcontents.htm The Crux of World History], which explains early anti-Semitism (Greeks and Romans, for example) as fundamentally due to the fact that Judaism (that is, the Torah) is essentially egalitarian and therefore was seen by the aristocratic elites as revolutionary and subversive. The Romans passed on their attitude towards the Jews to the Christians whom they became.
