Maybe I’m missing something as a non religious person but my experience with Jews, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Atheists, Mormons, etc., has been consistently the same. They are all mostly good people with a few less than perfect, but all are mostly indistinguishable without finding out which group they associate with. So for me the hatred displayed against Jews or any other group could be directed to any of them based on individual experiences or how they were raised. In other words they were taught. I was fortunate to be influenced greatly by MLKJR and I feel sorry for those who missed that lesson since the same has been true of skin color as well.
It’s an ancient feud, and yes there are people who want to keep it alive… just like in the US. There are race/religious baiters in every culture, it’s usually more about power than anything else. Most people want to live in peace with their neighbor.
This is a social mechanism that most people need to understand better.
Most people DO NOT need the lectures about being tolerant and peaceful. They are being egged on, "baited," by criminals in their midst who are trying to keep their own crimes secret by creating conflicts between otherwise good people. If you want peace in a family, a community or on a planet, you ALWAYS find out who is working hard to turn good people against each other. And you expose those people and what they are doing to take away their power to create havoc.
