And people being as they are, had to find someone to blame, So they chose the Jewish because they already didn't approve of their beliefs. In ancient times Romans demanded that the Jews convert to Christianity. If they didnt, they were denied citizenship rights and protection under law. At the end of the fourth century, as the fight between Christianity and Judaism intensified, Jews were labeled with the vicious title of "Christ killers," because
One disadvantage to Truman’s decision to support Israel in becoming a sovereign country is that U.S. relations with the Arabs can be affected. Also, creating a partition in Palestine in order to create a country for Jews would cause anti-Americanism. Another con to helping Israel become a sovereign country is that it would require U.S. troops to enforce the partition. This would decrease the number of troops standing by that the U.S needs to have. Not only that, but the partition violates both U.S. and U.N principles of self-determination.
Long after the years where they had to fight for their land and their freedom (by the way, at the expense of the American Indians), they seem to have become completely paranoid. The September 11, 2001 tragedy did not help to invert that trend. So why is that so? The answer that Michael Moore is presenting in "Bowling for Columbine” is that Americans are being controlled by fears, oh, not their own, but fears actually instilled by repetitive and diverse media coverage. According to him, the constant spreading of fears of just about anything and anyone is benefiting some large corporations as well as the authorities in place.
Bauer provides passages from Jewish individuals stating that rebellion is the only way out. In one specific quote, Abba Kovner states, “Is there a way out? Yes, there is a way out: rebellion and armed resistance.” This goes to show that some Jews felt that the only way they had a chance of surviving was to rise up against the Nazi party. The main reason why Armed Resistance was an issue was due to the limited weapon supply. More specifically, Jews were not able to purchase guns, or individuals would not sell them to Jews.
In the article, “The Death of Jesus and the Ways of God: Jesus and the Gospels on Messianic Status and Shameful Suffering by J. B. Green” states what is presented in Luke 23:1-5; Matt. 26:63; Deut. 13, “This not only implies a motivation for Jesus' condemnation by the Jewish council, but also suggests the ease with which concerns of this nature could be parlayed into terms of Jesus' threat to the Roman empire.” This is expressing the case that not only the Jewish leaders had points for condemning Christ but so did the Roman Empire. Pilate could not afford a uprising in Judea as it would look poor on him from the perspective of the Roman Empire and the Jewish leadership could not afford the people to be swayed from their power as well as in fear of the Roman occupation over them that could take away their power, traditions and beliefs but all in all their way of life.
This disaffection significantly desensitised Speer’s outlook on his future actions in regard to his amorality in regard to concentration camps and treatment of Jews. Despite Speer later writing in his memoirs that,
• When Hassidic survivors arrived in this country after World War II, America opened its doors to them. Like other emigrants before them it was taken for granted that they would soon loose their eastern European ways. • Hassidim refused to follow this script. Hassidim are a minority in a minority. They arose controversy amongst other Jews, no less than among gentiles.
According to Prager and Telushkin, this reason is tied directly to the hatred and exclusion the Jewish people have always experienced. There may be some truth in this, especially when compared to the already stated concept of the stranger, and the threat to order. Not only that, but there may be projection; people do not like that they themselves cannot live the life of higher quality that the Jewish people live, so they project what they feel about themselves onto them. This phenomenon is better illustrated using George Stanton’s 8 Stages of Genocide development that starts with groups being divided into us and them, leading to the genocide itself and the ultimate denial of such acts happening (Beaumont,
The Refugee crisis Palestine underwent is a crucial factor in determining whether the Jews’ committed “ethnic cleansing” . There has been much debate as to whether the Zionist regime intended to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians. The Zionist argument is that all their actions were unintended and based on military strategy, and yet Zionist officials forbid Palestinian refugees to return to the country after the war was over. However, other aspects must also be examined. Arab propaganda was also a major reason for the Palestinians exodus as mass panic was created.
As is clear from word itself, prejudice is having a pre-judgment about someone belonging to a community or a group. Till the time it is just a feeling it is called a prejudice, however it turns into discrimination as soon as the feeling turns into an action. Prejudices soon turn into discrimination and in turn harm the society. After the 9/11 attacks, people became prejudiced against people even remotely connected to the middle-east. These people were discriminated against, and shunned from the society (as soon in the movie ‘My name is Khan’).
