What did the Jews ever do to anybody?

Like, consistently across history, they've been persecuted and oppressed and generally treated like shit.

But why? I maybe get in ancient times when the idea of one god was absurd and they were ~different~

But like why have they been targeted in a world where that's the norm now?

this is going to also sound weird but

cracks knuckles

that is a multifacted answer that it requires

are you asking specifically in america...?

I mean worldwide. Why were they chosen to be slaves in Egypt? Why did Hitler use them as a scapegoat?

wasn't hitler demonizing them as peoples that were to blame for the fall of the german economy?

But I mean why specifically Jewish people?

idk about the slaves in egypt bit (didn't cover egyptology in my classes) but the perceived success of jewish peoples while "the rest of germany" suffered from an economic downturn might be why

i know they were blamed for that (hating on savvy business folk) and for the fact that germany lost and TERRIBLY during WWI

oh internet, you sweet siren:

Why did Hitler hate the Jews?

i stand corrected

Internet knows everything
