Why Do People Hate Jews?

I’ll tell you what I think…

There are a few common threads in humanity. One of them is that the society you grow up in shapes your beliefs. So, for instance, if you grow up in a Christian country, you are likely to be a Christian. If, in that Christian country, your parents belong to some other religion, and you associate with people from that religion, you are likely to belong to that religion.

If you grow up in a liberal home, you are likely to be liberal. If you grow up as a dominant fascist, you will have no problem with being a dominant fascist in later years.

What I’m trying to say is that the culture we grow up in shapes up for the rest of our lives. Sure, on occasion, people change their culture and belief systems, but this is the exception, not the rule.

Culture and family

If you’ve traveled a lot, you will have noticed that different cultures believe the most insane things. Even in our modern world, they still believe stories passed down through the generations by their families or their particular cultures. Belief systems pass down through families, extended families, and through cultural groups.

If you’ve lived in Africa, and if you’ve taken time to talk to people from different tribes and hear their stories, they will share all…
