Also, to understand ones disfavor one must put it in historical
context. In the 17 & 1800s there was much disdane for Jewish
comunities becouse they did something specific that was considered at
the time to be immoral. They lent or barrowed money for intrest.
Only because they were barred from doing much else. By the way as soon as
christians realized that this was a good and necessary business they 
took it away
from the jews.

Now
we do not think anything of such a practice becouse it is no-longer
considered by our culture to be vial. But you must take anti-semitism
at the time in context.
OK lets take it context. What mass murder, mass expulsion,denial of 
property
rights,seizure of property over the course of 1500 hundred years was 
taken out
of context.
The jews were hated because they were jews.

. The resentment then came from the fact that one group was,
by doing something akin to being illegal, taking money away from
everyone else.
You should really read some history. This post is truly outragious.
