If it is only occupation, then why have Arabs been persecuting and massacring them long before Israel was created. Sharon is a product of one such attempted massacre. Your claim is a red herring (diversion). Muslims discriminate against nonMuslims in every Middle-Eastern land and you know it.

They are any way not like you ! they cannot love you, you and them are not equal!

recent hatred since the occupation. I don't think normal people keep track of who hates them all of time. This is a Israeli thing, let it pass or you will never have peace. Or maybe u don't want peace?

Interestingly there is an article on a Turkish news site that answers the question: http://www.todayszaman.com/tz-web/yazarDetay.do?haberno=164089

Another cheap attempt to portray real fascist thugs as victims. You killed 1300 civilians out of which 400 children and still cry "why do others hate you"?

From Dir yassin 48 to Gaza 2008, congratulations to Jews, you have your state, how about palestinians? No state, no passeport, no freedom. Are you happy to build your state and destroy others lives?

Never ask why someone hates you; just know that they do and act accordingly. To a lesser degree it is the same reason that people hate America and the West (even Americans and Westerners) - because humans hate success; especially that which is acheived in spite of adversity. But the fundamental reason the world hates you is because humanity is born to hate and has been practicing on the Jews for a long time. Humanity's inability to carry out its desired genocide for thousands of years is seen as a glaring example of our own incompetence. Humanity will never stop the hate as long as any Jew draws breath and only when they are gone will humanity pick a new target, despite what all the claimants to the title of "the new Jews" state.

A suffering servant, always receives the guilt. Its human nature.

Your prophets gave you the answers thousands of years ago. It is unfortunate that it appears you don't understand. You were selected as a peculiar people; a people that will eventually be a blessing to the entire world and most favored by the Messiah himself. Until that time you are being tested--refined as one refines gold. In the mean time God has made it clear that those nations that bless you will be blessed by Him, but those nations who curse you will be cursed. If you can read the news, you can see it daily. Those that hate you have been given over to Satan's influence. But, there are millions of us who understand and love the Jews and pray for you daily. We pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, even though we know what it will cost you and the rest of the world before that peace is achieved. Your major trials and the full force of the world's hate for you has only begun and what you have endured is nothing compared to what you must yet endure. Read your prophets and the Torah; your very lives depend on how you respond to them. The better question for you to ask is "Who loves us and why." Shalom

We have been persecuted for millenia. We are the chosen people. Not chosen because we are better, which is what the racists say, but we are chosen because we chose to follow the law. We are hated because we are a minority that can be picked on and doesnt fight back like wacko Islamists. We are hated because we have contributed more the world in medicine, technology, culture, than any other people per capita, by far. We are hated because they are jealous of the progress Israel has made in the 60 years since it was re-created that other nations cant do in 200 years. They are jealous because we perform Tikum Olam when other send suicide bombers. They are jealous because they cant win and refuse to make peace. they are jealous because the Islamic history is full of revisionism and cant hold up to the truth. the arab world would fall apart like the Soviet Union if the truth started to take hold. I can live with all this. I sleep great knowing how much Jews contribute, how much Jews can withstand, how much Jews help. There is very much to be proud of. Be proud of being Jewish. Have many children and pass on our wonderful history, culture, traditions, and morals to them.

What about the Protocoles of the Elders of Zion was not a reason to make the world hates you and this was much longer before the Holocuast ... what you want from the world when you announce that you want rull the world .... get real Mom and face your self once in the history and stop playing inocent because you are not .

we are the enemies of totalitarian authoritarian ideologies, we are enemies of murderous regimes (nazism, stalinism and all dictatorships were people worship degenerate retards.) We respect god (a higher authority) but we do not do that to any leader and phony ideology. We are not idolaters and they are. it is their problem not ours.

After reading many of the posts in this talkback, it is evident to me that your simplistic arguments for the reasons for Jew/Israel hatred have no validity nor historical significance. You merely try to pawn off this age old racism (which has now morphed into modern nation hatred) to modern political disputes. The other posts give a much more compelling and historically valid reason for Jew/Israel hatred. Why don't you open your history books beyond the 20th century and see that this hatred is consistant for millenia. Speak and think a few words and thoughts that go beyond your "occupation and humiliation " mantra.

Rabbi, Astonishing anyone that read last week's parsha (the story of the 10 plauges) would need to ask the question. At first, Pharoh failed the test to do justice an dhardened his own heart rather than give the people of Israel peace and freedom and his people suffered small plauges. Later Hashem hardended Pharoh's heart to test whether the arabs would see the evil in their leader and force him to let Issreal live in peace. They insisted on continuing their evil and suffered great plauges. We are Balaam's test to the world. The peoples of the world show their nature and soul by whether they deal justly with us. Hashem sees and remembers all.

For crying out loud, all this self pity will not change the facts of what you are and have done to the people of Palestine or how people are going to view what you have and are doing. Wake up Israel; it is not as if the world just awoke one morning and suddently acquired a bad taste for Israel, you blokes have been doing all you can to earn the unadmirable postion you now hold. The sad thing about Israel is that the more one looks, the less one likes, so your best move would be to stay out of the spotlight.

Arabs started massacring Jews long before 1948. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem worked for Hitler. You have been duped by the Arab omissions and distortions of the facts.

...jews are hated by deluded muslims...

...the reason for the foundation of israel was, that the jews were slain by muslims 24/7 - just because they were NOT MUSLIMS... read up your own heinous history! your post says it all...really...

You'd deal with the content instead of ad hominems and demagoguery.

First : Baruch Goldstein killed 29 people (not 70 as you claim - source wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baruch_Goldstein) and Israel condemned his actions. Same year hundreds of Israelis were murdered in numerous terrorists attacks. The muslim world of savages cheered for every one of them. You surely must know that arabs are 20% of Israel population, so your argument about Israel as a country of only jews is far from truth. What happened in Lebanon is shia's Hezballa took over . There is a little doubt that they will slaugher all Lebanese christians sooner or later and Lebanon will be a "proper" muslim country. Try this "sectarian" bullshit somewhere else, in any of the 50+ arab/muslim countries in the world. Jews have only ONE country and they dont have privilege to do such experiments.

BEING SUCCESSFUL SO THEY LOOK AT THE JEWS, WHEREAS THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GROUP AS A MODERN SOCIETY, SOMETHING EVEN THE POOREST JEWS DID WITH EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS HERE DURING THE OTHMANS AND DURING THE BRITISH MANDATE . THEY ARE USED TO BEING A BACKWARD TRIBAL SOCIETY, AND THEY ARE MUJAHIDEEN, WHO TAKE PRIDE IN BEING BACKWARDLY SO LONG AS THERE ARE NO FOREIGN INFLUENCES THAT MAKE THEIR TRIBES QUESTION TRUE REASONS FOR THEIR BACKWARDNESS. JUST TO NAME A FEW.

2005!!!!! PERSONALLY I THINK IT WAS A MISTAKE TO BEND TO YOUR CRIES AND GET ALL JEWS OUT OF THE GAZA STRIP, WITHOUT A FAIR EXCHANGE FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN ISRAEL, WHO ACT AGAINST IT AND IN FAVOUR OF HAMAS. MANY ARAB TRAITORS IN ISRAEL, WHY ARE THEY HERE IF THEY DON'T LIKE IT? DON'T TELL ME YOU LIKE IT, YOU JUST RELY ON OUR GOOD WILL.. . MOST OF GAZA BORDERS ARE THE BORDERS WITH ISRAEL, THE BORDERS REMAIN SHUT BECAUSE ISRAELIS CAN SEE, FEEL AND HEAR YOUR GREAT LOVE EGYPT TOO CLOSED IT'S BORDERS WITH GAZA IT IS THE ISRAELI BORDER, ISRAELIS DON'T OPEN IT TO MADMEN LIKE YOU. YOU ARE MUJAHODEEN IN GAZA, NO NORMAL COUNTRY SHALL OPEN IT'S GATES TO PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN JIHAD AGAINST IT SOON ISRAELI FORCES SHALL REDRAW COMPLETELY, BUT THE BORDERS WITH ISRAEL SHALL REMAIN SHUT. YOU WANT FREEDOM? FIGURE OUT HOW TO PROVIDE FOR YOURSELVES AND HOW TO BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE, INSTEAD OF RELYING ON ISRAEL'S GOOD WILL & ENERGY SUPPLIES.

From the river to the sea, Friend. They hate us eternally and want all of Israel destroyed.

The brothers and sisters of the kids you killed in Gaza, in Lebanon and every where in the middle east must be madly in LOVE with you. It's you crimes Rabbi. It's your crimes.

Its "Halachah" Esau hates Jacob

They inherently have to kill and thrash some society to make themselves feel better about themselves and their religion. The muslim cult tried to take over Christianity and Judaism and make it their own. Jews are a thorn in their side because they have come back to their land. Allahs phrophecy hasn't come to fruition......you are a threat to their made up cult. Therefore they kill you. The world needs the Muslims oil.....therefore they help the Muslims to destroy Israel. Their gas tank is more important in their minds than a few dead Jews.
