Jewish people brought morality to the world thousands of years ago, and some people are still mad about it." — Safra Catz, CEO of Oracle, ynetnews.com, January 27, 2024.
Even trying to conduct the most moral war in history, and sending humanitarian aid to the Gazans trying to kill them, all of Israel's enemies consider themselves free of such constraints. (Someone asked if the British had ever sent aid to Germany in WWII.)

Can't argue with that because it's true.

FTA - ""The hate of the Jews is the most ancient and continuous hate in human history, and you can dress it up any way you want.... It is basically exactly what it has always been -- the Jewish people brought morality to the world thousands of years ago and some people are still mad about it.""
Yep. As we thought.

They are hated because they are loved and chosen.

" the Jewish people brought morality to the world ..."
No, G_d introduced morality to the Jews and the Jews immediately introduced hypocrisy.Then, G_d sent them a Savior and they rejected Him.
I have no animus towards Jews except those who reject the first principles of morality for personal gain. Of course , that is a human trait which transcends
religion.

Okay...I'll admit that Nils has a good defense...BUT... I live in the real world...and I see it in a different way....I grew up adjacent to a jewish community...so I went to school with jewish kids....and I learned quickly that jewish people are very clever and awfully smart...I had to learn to compete with them....it made me strong and determined....Israel is a success because of that drive...and losers don't like it....

Poppycock. Were they ejected from 109 countries because they were too moral? Seems unlikely. Based on the jews I've known in my life, they are no more or less moral than anyone else.
No, it must be something else. When you find it they will rationalize it away.

There is an old canard said by a lot of gentiles..."Some of my best friends are Jews". It's mostly not really true or an exaggeration at best by some and usually a preface for some sort of criticism.
In my parents' case, it was true. A Jewish couple constantly ate at our house and we ate at theirs. and they had a beautiful daughter that I would have asked out if I hadn't been so shy. When the two husbands died my mom and the other widow became like sisters....constantly in each other's company.
In business, I knew a few who were jerks but just as many or more so-called Christians. Just human nature. A lot of this is simple envy of how successful Jews have been over the ages. The real outrage is that too many Muslims think that their purpose in life is to kill all Jews. Their "bible", the Koran tells them to.
Now we have ignorant college students taking the side of the murderous Muslims because the left tells them too.

I equate the Ten Commandments to civilized behavior. Don't lie, cheat, steal, rob, rape, or murder sums up the commandments that deal with people. The others deal with God. They tell us what God is. God is the creator. God created the universe, humanity, and everything else. God is the only being worthy of worship. If you worship something other than the creator, you are not worshipping God.
There was a time far back in humanity's past when we weren't civilized. It's still part of us. People must be taught to be civilized. For many, that lesson needs to be reinforced regularly. Some are never taught that lesson. Others reject it. The lesson comes from God. It has to. People normally do what they feel is right in their eyes. That's why we need law enforcement. One sees it in people's behavior on a daily basis.

This assertion is obviously untrue. There are numerous civilizations throughout human history that have or had moral codes that counter the ridiculous notion that Jews are the font of morality for the entire planet. The West's foundation began in ancient Greece and was further developed in Rome. Christianity, which wouldn't exist without Judaism but also explicitly rejects much of it, moved the West forward. It is one thing to acknowledge influences from particular cultures it is quite another to designate only one culture as the origin of morality.

I think a lot of hate came from people saying that the Jews killed Christ. It wasn't the whole Jewish population that did this, it was the money changers in the Temple. Jesus threw down their tables and decried their behavior and they were not going to stand for that so they called in the Romans to deal with it. This same thing is what the democrat party tried to do in President Trump's first term and now this one. Their corrupt behavior is being revealed and they want to get rid of him . They are using the courts to be their Pontius Pilot..

The real reason?
It’s because Jesus is a Jew and the Savior of the entire human race. The everlasting life of God is available to all who believe in Jesus Christ.
What think ye of Christ?

Jews are hated because they’re disciplined and appreciate education. Those 2 qualities almost guarantee prosperity.

Besides Genesis 12:3, it's a fact that hatred toward Jews (or Israel) is nothing other than a fulfillment of prophecy. God told them they would be a "byword among the nations" all over the place. God promised it would happen (along with their exile from their land) as a result of their behavior, primarily idolatry and crimes. Add to that the rejection of their Messiah. It's everywhere in the prophets and other books. (Deut. 28:37, Psalms 44:14, Jeremiah 24:9, and other passages). This doesn't erase other reasons given here, but at the heart of it is the prophecy. And no, they didn't invent morals; Yaweh gave them those.
