Did he hate them or did he use them ?
 

yesterday late evening I saw an episode on Viasat History.

It was about the Jews and the Holocaust.

In the beginning of the program a man sitting in a armchair an historian saying to the camera.

Hitler hated the Jews and he told about his life during world war 1 after this war until he moved to Munich and meet people from this nazi parti.

When he said those words "Hitler hated the Jews"

This made me wonder

"Did he hated them or did he use them, by exploiting the problems of the society, that were in Germany at that time to gain support from ordinary people."
(I just can't get this right)

From what I have learned the hatred against the Jews goes far, far back, The earliest I have read about situation where Jews was blamed was in the 800th century in The kingdom of the Franks

Well can't it be both? After all if you're going to make a people a scapegoat for your societies problems it probably helps to justify it to yourself if you already don't like them.

There's been animosity towards Jews for over 2000 years.

I heard they killed Jesus.
Pretty sure it was a FaceBook thing I saw that on.
:har:

Right now in the U.S.A.?
If your a Republican you HATE Democrats and everything is their fault.
(Just reverse the statement above for the other view)

So someone is always the bad guy. Gotta have a bad guy to be the Good Guy!

August makes a good point. As for the hatred, I'd recommend reading Mein Kampf. He blames them for ruining Germany, and the animosity certainly seems genuine.

Dowly's point is also very true.

Of course, it was Judah who betrayed Jesus with his kiss. The killing was done by the romans though.

Now your just blending fact with perceived historical prejudice.
:03:
Haters gonna hate ya know?
:haha:

I know :03:

On the other hand the argument goes that the Romans didn't care one way or the other, and the Sanhedrin wanted him dead but were prohibited by Roman law from carrying out executions.

Just sayin'.

^ imagine what happened if Jesus would emerge today, in Israel.

I stand corrected.

The correct words should have been.

He did not only hate them, he also toke advantage of the problems in the society where the Jews was blamed by the Germans for having lost WWI and other problems.

I know that the Jews have been haunted and hated for more than 2000 years.

What I meant was that Hitler wasn't the first person who used the Jews and or the Jewish society for the problem his country was in.
And the earliest I can remember and have read was from this period 800th century(trying to remember exact year)and if it was in The kingdom of the Franks.

A good way to get people to support you is to convince them that their problems are caused by someone else.

Your right!
Marcus and Sailor Steve are clouding the issue and causing problems.
:har:

James Madison said much the same thing.

So did Hermann Goering.

:yep:
