Border line..... No matter where the Jews went they were able to maintain their heritage. They never fully assimilated into any culture they were a part of. They were able to maintain their own sense of heritage. When they entered the promise land from Egypt God told them to be separate. It has been in their blood to be different for thousands of years. It is always easy to hate someone who is different than you. So I do not buy your statement, "If a group of people has been disliked in every country in which they have settled (and there are many) for 2,000 years, do you suppose it could have something to do with the culture and personality of that group?" So blame the Jews. It is this type of thought that cost millions of Jews their lives just for being Jewish. It is hard for me to believe you would make such a claim. I do not presume to know for sure the reaction of your statement from Egnima, Richnorth, EC or marek, but I dare guess they do not blame Jews for being Jews. They just respectfully have their own views. The Jews have always been different and therefore disliked since God made them separate. Eclectus

Nevertheless more of an argument for a Jewish Homeland...

The Kurds are hated by both for their differences in speech, customs and religion as well as for their desire to have their own nation. pensema.com

Harmony has often been a commodity more precious even than water in the Middle East. A well-known Arab saying actually celebrates conflict: “My brother and I against our cousin; my cousin and I against the alien.” The alien, it seems, is forever being redefined in this contentious corner of the globe. Sunni Muslim against Shiite, Christian against Muslim, Arab against Jew, Iraq against Iran, and the Kurds, well, forever fighting against a world that seems bent on their destruction nationalgeographic.com
