It's not just about Isael. The Jews are thin-skinned. Any remark or act can be anti-Semitic, so much so that non-Jewish comedians will not even crack jokes about Jews.Since the establishment of Israel in 1948, anti-Zionist rhetoric has crossed into anti-Semitism by Muslims. While criticism of Israeli govt policies is not really anti-Semitic, denying Israel's right to exist or holding all Jews responsible for its actions can be considered anti-Semitic, particularly when it applies a double standard to Israel not applied to other countries.
You must be alluding it to the Jews. But hate to break it to you.
- Why does everyone hate intelligent people?
- Why does everyone hate rich people?
- Why does everyone hate successful people?
- Why does everyone hate good looking people?
Not only that. Muslims have been protecting Jews since 1000 years ago from christian persecution.Basically, when they refused to accept Jesus as the Messiah but instead killed him, it sowed the seeds of anti-Semitism in the entire Christian world - the Spanish Inquisitions, the pogroms, Holocaust, etc. Right up till the founding of modern Israel, the Jews have been living harmoniously with Arabs in the Levant
I was not alluding to the Jews. We all know that rich, successful, intelligent and good looking people are disliked by the envious.You must be alluding it to the Jews. But hate to break it to you.
They're not intelligent or otherwise many countries wouldn't chase them out since time immemorial.
They're not rich because there are many more richer than them. Those who have a modicum of wealth do it via cheating stealing and lying. aka all the banks and moneylenders.
Nobody hates successful people. What they hate are racist, apartheid genocidal people.
Hahaha...this next one is funny. Jews are brown people, with crooked noses and thin lips with skinny angular facial features. Those that are portrayed beautiful are not Jews, They're europeans. All the more reasons to chase these fake jews back to where they came from.
Of course there are such people. But the vast majority of humankind are not like that.I was not alluding to the Jews. We all know that rich, successful, intelligent and good looking people are disliked by the envious.
Based on my observations of most S'poreans, if you are poor, they will despise you but if you are richer than them, they will be envious of you.Of course there are such people. But the vast majority of humankind are not like that.
World is full of jelly people.....Can I have my prize

Why do most S'poreans hate the PAP? It is because our politicians are rich, live in expensive private homes, drive luxurious cars and are among the elites. Do not be fooled that all 65% who voted for the PAP love them; there are many who value stability and the 15 - 20% of rich people who do not want the Opposition forming the next govt to reinstate estate duty.World is full of jelly people.....Can I have my prize![]()
Truth is, no one is jealous of the Jews. They have been perhaps the most despised of races, hounded from every country they set foot in, reduced to living in ghettos in all the major European countries, and forbidden to join trades and professions - except moneylending and butchering. The Arab countries were actually kind to the Jews - most of the early Jewish migrants to Singapore came from Baghdad.World is full of jelly people.....Can I have my prize![]()
Iraqi Jewish migrants fled to India around 1817 to escape persecution by the Ottomans in Persia which was part of modern day Iran and Iraq. From there, many continued their voyage to S'pore. Jewish emigration from Iraq owing to racial and religious persecution like the Farhud pogrom and anti-Jewish laws, came later with the rise of Arab nationalism.Truth is, no one is jealous of the Jews.

Go and read up on what led to the Farhud... it was the Jews turning their backs on their Arab brothers and colluding with the Brits in the Anglo-Iraq wars.Iraqi Jewish migrants fled to India around 1817 to escape persecution by the Ottomans in Persia which was part of modern day Iran and Iraq.

So we are in agreement that the Jews fled Iraq owing to racial and religious persecution and anti-Jewish laws with the rise of Arab nationalism.Go and read up on what led to the Farhud... it was the Jews turning their backs on their Arab brothers and colluding with the Brits in the Anglo-Iraq wars. Up till then the Iraqis treated the Jews as one of them - all the Jews and Christians were integrated into mainstream Iraqi life with no discrimination. This sad event showed that no matter how well you treated them, the Jews could never be trusted. Why were they so hated throughout Europe, both eastern and western?
And we are in agreement that 2 centuries of anti-Semitic persecution in Christian Europe pre-dated the rise of Arab nationalism and anti-Semitism in the Middle East. And for the longest time the Arabs protected the Jews from Christian persecution.So we are in agreement that the Jews fled Iraq owing to racial and religious persecution and anti-Jewish laws with the rise of Arab nationalism.
As far as the Muslims are concerned, it was down to pure hatred, fear and religious bigotry.And we are in agreement that 2 centuries of anti-Semitic persecution in Christian Europe pre-dated the rise of Arab nationalism and anti-Semitism in the Middle East. And for the longest time the Arabs protected the Jews from Christian persecution. And so: why are the Jews so hated? Mere jealousy?
