Why the anti-Semitic violence are popular ? (lilyl)
In the past day, I read pogroms in the wikipedia so many times to get more knowledges about the jews pogroms. According to the wikipedia, pogroms are not only happen in the ancient day ,but also in the World War II, even After World War II. Although there are not exact statistics about the death and injuries, but some reports unleash the estimates of the numbers may be over millions of people, or perhaps many more.
So, the data confused me so extensively that why so many pogroms are happen?In my opinions ,the reasons may be as follows. First of all, jews hold different religions from other christians. The jews believe Old Testament, while the christians support New Testament. In the mid-ages of Europe, the majority of christians can’t endure the people who don’t believe the New Testament. Therefore, the hostility on jews are rooted in many christian’s mind. Secondly, jews are so successful in many industries, such as commercial, political, art and so on. Even in some small city, the jews maybe can hold the half of treasures of the whole city. Thus, a conspiracy that the jews can control the politics and commerce are so popular. In these case, people are not only jealous of their achievement and treasures ,but also think they are destroyers in damaging the equality and justice of the country. Finally, jews are Closed and Xenophobia, so they can’t integrate in the local nations. They can’t be readily assimilate. Therefore, many people are excuse jews.
