I never hated a person, or people, based upon their faith; only if their faith calls for harming others.

People who like to hate do hate whatever is in their gun sight. I do not choose to. I do not hate those who have traditionally stoodup forcefully for minorities, as have many people of your heritage. You have paved the way for a better world, a place where we have learned to stand up together against oppression and hate, where we say never again and mean it. I've learned from your experiences that if one of us is not safe, then none of us will be safe. An American Indian's view of a people deserving respect.

seems outdated ? One could hate some traces of character in Jews , but that would be generalization. The same could be asked about other groups - nations. Wonder what made you ask such question ?

@Khenpal1: I'm not Jewish, but having a life long sentence of brown skin has made me wary of other shades of people. You get derided and baited all through junior high and high school. You apply for jobs and never hear back. You walk in a store and the manager takes one look, squints his eyes thinking "another thieving red skin" and walks around the store 2 steps behind you till you leave. Walk into a bar and someone is going to yell out, "Get out of here you f**k'n warhoop, you are not welcome here". I rest my case here, I know what it's like to be looked down on even though your people have suffered genocide from those same white colored hands. Not all of any people are bad, but I know from what quarter to expect unwarranted hate. I expect the author of this question feels the same as I when a beat up 4 wheel drive pick up with a big American flag and a trump sticker on the back goes by with a scowling red neck behind the steering wheel flipping you the finger and thinking to himself "America is for whites only". These kind of people aren't going away. It's encouraging to hear from those of you who don't hate people just because of their heritage.

@dannys925: You right in many ways , but I would get similar treatment in country like India or China. What could be even worse is you own race treat you as worst enemies like they do in India. What you are describing is racial-tribal mentality in USA prevalent in our times.

Just want to point out that it is a real thing, even if neither of us wants it to be here. I ready to let the past go, not that hard as my blood is 3/4 white, however looking very much the 1/4 native American that I am, I know to expect expressions of prejudice to be thrown at me.
Like Ezbit is saying, we know what is said behind our backs can be quite different than what is said to our faces. I want to make America great, but you can't build great on top of hate.

nope. but I'm from the U.S. nobody likes us :)

I'm good with Jews. Do I like the way the Israeli government is being run? Not so much. I think the area of Palestine is much greyer than many believe. Settlements are a big problem. I wish the two sides could see mutual benefit in mutual respect. But the Jewish people and religion are OK by me.

firefall · 61-69, M

I've always rather admires Jewish culture, and still do; but Israel is working hard to earn hatred, in the last 20 years. I don't see that as attached to Jewishness, though, it's a particular political group disguised as a religious sect, that seems to be fomenting the trouble.

Hate is an intellectually lazy person's excuse for not thinking.
I never did and never will hate someone for who they are and being what they had no control over.
Race and looks, to me, are very unimportant factors when interacting with the human race.

Talk about a loaded question! "Normal" Jews or Hassidic who consider themselves above the law and have turned the town south of me into a slum of welfare recipients who refuse to work?

HappyCapricorn · 26-30, M

Nope I don't nor could hate anyone especially for their religion let alone for their colour or creed what I do despise is haters. We all have much more in common than not in common

I never have hated anyone based upon religion, ethnicity, etc. When my family moved to the suburbs in 1965 and I integrated the local Catholic school, the only kids in the neighborhood allowed by their parents to play with me, visit or invite me to their homes were the Jewish kids. I went to school with other Catholic kids, but they wouldn't socialize.

Ben Gurion lost me decades ago when he announced his own version of Jewish Libenstraum -- that Israel HAD to expand to be safe.

dannys925 · 26-30, M

@ChipmunkErnie: I'm not a Jew or a military officer, but looking at the situation through Ben Gurion's one general's eye, you are surrounded by four hostile nations planning to invade you simultaneously. The borders you are charged to defend make you a gerrymander no more than 20 miles wide at points. I can see the need to shorten things up to a more defensible shape not as libenstraum, but more as we are not again going to submit ourselves readily to likely annihilation by an avowed threat to "push you all into the sea".
