I would say "the others" in our society, as Americans, would be anything that resembles a Islamic person. Also, another example of "the others" in our society could be anyone that just isn't in the norm of our religion. People that look different such as Hindu's, Jews, or Tao people. The best way to treat something like this and figure out a way to stop the negative beliefs is to practice what you preach. Most religions have a golden rule or some sort of variation of it. If we treat anyone and everyone the way we want to be treated and stop stereotyping them that is when we will stop seeing such negative behavior towards one another.

The reason that outsiders have difficulties with "chosen people", jews, is because they feel inferior to them. Being that they are God's chosen people many humans feel as if they are being treated unfairly and that they won't ever get that treatment. Jews do not also believe in Jesus and many people may not see how it is fair that they are the chosen ones and don't even believe in God's son. However, many do not understand that Judaism is not a race, it is a religion. You could be a part of the "chosen people" if you went through the lengthy process to become a Jew. Jews in theory could be hated too, because they were the ones who killed Jesus. To sum it all up "outsiders" just hate Jews, because they are different. …show more content…

"They adapted, manipulated, and radicalized the unfounded belief in the existence of an "Aryan race" and its superiority to fit their ideology and policies. Nazi officials used this concept to support the idea that Germans belonged to a "master race." The Aryan race was a "Master Race" that Germans thought they belonged to.

Modern anti-Semitism was at its worst point after the civil war and the reconstruction era in American history circa 1860s-1940s. Anti-Semitism, according to social scientist, seems to be declining since WWII and some historians even argue that American Jews no longer face any type of prejudice. The discrimination of Jews from 1860s till the 1940s was seen in two forms, practical and ideological. Many Jews in the period after reconstruction faced physical discrimination, such as being excluded from hotels, universities, fraternities, hospitals, and also faced much social discrimination (Katz, 144). Ideological anti-Semitism affects the lives of Jews as well; people talking about Judaism in a negative way, and the way in which Jews were portrayed in the media.

At this point the Jews were used to being knocked around by everybody else and were eager to follow these guidelines rather than bite the hand that feeds them. Some thinkers were even beginning to open up to other religions such as Judaism and Islam. For example, Voltaire saw nothing wrong in brotherhood to others (Doc12). but religion was not the only issue going down; racism was a HUGE deal even in the 18th century. Negroes were insulted in every way possible by many and we even made fun of and dehumanized in public works like encyclopedias and not just people's opinions.

Think about you playing with your siblings, you guys are having so much fun but then a stranger comes in and talks to your parents and all of a sudden the stranger tells you that you are a Jew.

The way that the Islamic culture looks at Jewish people is not that uncommon but for these words to be spoken outright is devastating to the affected culture as a whole. This information is laid out in Ali’s article not only because of the importance of constant knowledge but also because being aware of what the rest of the world is doing will make a better person out of the reader.

My historical perspective changed drastically with this fact because Jewish people were so isolated compared to people from different religions to the point where they were told where to live and the area they lived in was in a highly poor condition. Jewish people were most likely treated so harshly because they were blamed for all the issues that arose in Germany which is completely racist and illogical. This fact angered me so much because people during the 1940s were so blinded by their rage towards Jewish people that they did inhuman things to them as a form of revenge. I would be hurt, irritated, and heartbroken if I were a Jew who was forced to live in Ghettos. I might’ve even reached the point where I would be questioning my existence just like Eliezer did because I’d be utterly hopeless.

Jews are persecuted because they are a stateless people, because they do not have a country to call their own. Over thousands of years, Jews have been driven out of many countries, including France in 1182, Spain in 1492, and England in 1290. Many, after the expulsions, came to Poland, where life was generally better than most places in Europe at the time. There were no taxes on being Jewish, among other benefits. But even there, Jews were treated differently, and subjected to different laws.

The things that was created by God is stones, grass, trees, animals and human. It is not said in the bible that God said “let there be light, let there be humans” and “let there be

Judaism: the oldest monotheistic religion in existence. The people of this religion, Jews, have faced discrimination and genocide for centuries. From the story of Chanukah in the beginnings of the religion to the Holocaust that happened less than a century ago, nations have attempted, and failed, to rid the world of Jews.

Many historians denote that there are so many reasons as to why Jews were and still are being hated and persecuted and here are a few. It is felt that the Jews are hated and persecuted because they either possess a lot of power or are worthless, responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and seen as a threat to racial purity through assimilation.
