They are creditors for millennia, as the Christian and Muslim religion prohibited to lend money for interest.
So, besides they were good traders and supported each other intenslely, they became rich by making others work for them.
If you owe them money, you don't fight vehement for their rights or against their abuse. You get even rid of your debts by actively support their disappearance.
Additionally they keep some distance to the local communities, they have their own religion, their own prejudices, stange rites, different appearance and hats - and their girls are pretty good protected while non jewish girls are shiksas.
And some try to gain control like any other people with enough money and are disliked accordingly.

Oh - and the actual zionist apartheid system in Israel doesn't do them any favour.

They [jews] are creditors for millennia, as the Christian and Muslim religion prohibited to lend money for interest.

However what should they have done, since they were furthermore prohibited from other normal jobs, like blacksmith or whatever. They founded banks, and did take interest.

Banks are not very popular, especially if you lent money from them and have to pay it back. With interest.

Right, Christians were forbidden to take interest by their religion back then. But this has changed, if anyone did not recognize, every good capitalistic christian working for a bank nowadays, does not seem to care very much. As well jews are meanwhile allowed to practise any job they want.

Right or wrong, exclusive cliques tend to generate suspicion, disdain and hatred. They're a convenient target for those who need an enemy to control a population.

[Oberon]

Every social gathering seems to need an enemy of some sort, whether it's to just feel 'better than the other guy' or for more nefarious purposes. When this happens then the normal rules of decency are put on hold and it's quite alright to use a wide brush on a collective group of individuals and portray them all in the same negative light. Media outlets may play to this to garner more viewing figures from people who agree with them, because they stick a finger in the air and see which way mainstream opinion is swinging and then raise their sail and go with it, and people then gladly follow along with them, creating some sort of feedback loop in which the hysteria of the people is amplified by the media which in turns amplifies its hysteria in response.

For example, on the 1st Jan 2014, Romania and Bulgaria gained the same rights as the rest of the EU nations in regards to cross-border transit. Almost immediately there was a frenzy of media speculation in the United Kingdom that we were going to face a horde not seen since the days of Genghis Khan, a tidal wave of Romanians and Bulgarians that would send the country back into the dark ages. The people from these two nations were labeled broadly as 'benefit thieves', 'criminals', 'fugitives' and other derogative terms. Rather than '5,000 in the first week alone' as the Daily Express warned us, we received a small trickle...in fact during this year, the amount of Romanian and Bulgarian immigrants working in the UK has fallen by 4,000. Suddenly, the likes of the Daily Express have fallen silent on the issue, or have chosen to print it in very small print on page 32 (if it can count that high) and instead they have moved on to the next 'Outrage du jour'. It is by exploiting this easily inflamed xenophobia and nationalism that right wing parties are seeing growth in western Europe, idiots like UKIP who can't go a month without a member being outed as a former member of the British National Party (an offshoot of the National Front which can trace its roots back to Oswald Mosleys right hand man), you only have to look on facebook to see how many people are 'likeing' things from 'Britain First' or sharing things that are false but appeal to that sense of outrage, but no one wants to be bothered to fact check things because it's just easier to go along with the indignation of the masses.

A UK satirical commentator, Charlie Brooker, probably put it best with this slice from his TV series on a show that ran over here for a while called 'Benefit Street', the clip contains strong language:




The thing that worries me when these sorts of things happen, is that when a section of society is reduced to a figure of hatred, and when that hatred is encouraged and exploited by political figures, there's a slippery slope that leads to pogoms and mass burials.
