Why do Nazis hate Jews so much?

1, the inertia of history. The large-scale persecution of Jews in Europe began in the Greek and Roman period, when it was mainly to carry out the Hellenistic policy and suppress the resistance and resistance of Jews. After the fall of the Roman Empire, on the one hand, the anti-Semitic and anti-Semitic thoughts formed by the long-term anti-Semitic policies of the Empire did not suddenly disappear. On the other hand, the anti-Semitic measures carried out by the Roman Empire were inherited by post-Roman countries. After the Germanic tribes defeated the Roman Empire, they did not actively learn the excellent culture of Greece and Rome at first, but inherited and developed Christianity, including the persecution of Jews known as "pagans". For example, the additional anti-Semitic clauses stipulated in the Rome orsi Code, which came into effect in 438 AD, later became the legal basis for some people's anti-Semitism.

2. Economic prejudice and short-sightedness. Because Jews have always been regarded as demons and heretics, their employment and management have also been greatly restricted, and many people can only engage in business and finance, especially usury. Jews scattered all over the world have quickly accumulated a lot of wealth by virtue of their intelligence and hard work, but this will become the object of envy and hatred of local people. Christianity prohibits Christians from lending at interest, so Jewish lending has always been regarded as a "criminal activity". In fact, "this is a strange circle that digs its own grave, and behind it is the religious persecution and racial discrimination of the Jewish nation in Christian Europe." The image of Shylock, a Jewish usurer portrayed by Shakespeare in The Merchant of Venice, also reflects the prejudice of many Europeans against Jews to some extent.

On the one hand, European rulers persecuted Jews, on the other hand, they regarded Jews as "ripped off" objects. The performance of French rulers in this respect is particularly funny. From 1 182 to 132 1, France expelled Jews four times and recalled Jews four times for tax purposes. 136 1 year, good John, king of France, was captured by Britain. In order to raise a huge ransom, Jews were allowed to return to France and were deported in 1394. Abba Eban, a famous Israeli historian, once wrote in The History of the Jews, "Their short history of settlement in Britain vividly and profoundly reflects the fate of the Jews in the Middle Ages: at first they were encouraged, then humiliated, persecuted and finally expelled." After the rise of capitalism in modern Europe, the advantage of Jews in economic competition has also become a new excuse for irrational anti-Semitism. Some anti-Semitic organizations oppose Jews by boycotting Jews and exclude Jews from some industries and organizations. In Austria, some anti-Semitists openly slogan "Don't buy things from Jews" in newspapers and rallies. Edward Adolphe Drummond, a French anti-Semitic, even suggested in the book "French Jews" that the economic depression and social poverty in France are the sins of Jews. He believes that although Jews only account for 0.25% of France's population, they hold more than half of France's wealth, so they should expropriate Jews' "property obviously obtained by illegal means". This book sold100000 copies the year it was published, which played a great role in confusing the society.

3. Lack of political status. Jews basically appear as ethnic minorities in their places of residence. Their economic status highlights the uniqueness of this group, but they have never fully obtained the corresponding political rights to protect their own interests, which makes them always a vulnerable group. Coupled with the connivance and incitement of some authorities with ulterior motives, Jews often become victims of power struggles for no reason. In the Middle Ages, some European rulers spared no effort to persecute Jews in order to please the church. In modern times, the rulers of European countries often take Jews as "scapegoats" in order to divert the attention of domestic social contradictions and class struggles. 19 At the end of the 20th century, the Russian czar regime used anti-Semitism to divert domestic discontent, which contributed to the anti-Semitism wave at that time. In 1930s, Hitler's Nazi forces also took advantage of people's hatred of Jews to seize power step by step. Historically, from Yue Se, the prime minister in Egypt in the Bible, to Esther in Persia, from the "court Jews" in modern Europe to the Jews in the United States today, whenever Jews have a certain political status, their rights can be better guaranteed and they can effectively resist anti-Semitism attacks.

4. The incompatibility between religion and culture. After the 4th century AD, Christianity was declared as the state religion by the Roman Empire and gradually gained a dominant position in Europe. However, its status was questioned by Judaism, and the New Testament and Christ Jesus, which were regarded as classics by Christianity, were denied by Judaism. This denial is actually a question of the legitimacy of Christianity. "For thousands of years, God, law and Israel have been included in Judaism, and the loyalty of Jews to these things has become an excuse for anti-Semitism. They make Jews be regarded as outsiders, and more importantly, as a challenge to the legitimacy of non-Jewish gods. "This is intolerable in a Christian-dominated European society. Secondly, in religious legends, Jews persecuted Christ Jesus, and some people with ulterior motives attached Jews as descendants of Judas who betrayed Jesus. These religious legends, whether true or false, have deepened the prejudice of Christians against Jews to a certain extent and led to strong religious retaliation. Finally, the opposition of religious values.

Jews think that they are the "voters" of God and have a certain contractual relationship with God. Although Christianity was born out of Judaism, it has evolved into a universal religion. It believes that all people can be naturalized as God's people, and Christians have the mission to save mankind and the world. Therefore, when Christianity collides with Judaism with superiority, the conflict is inevitable, either being naturalized or becoming a "heinous" heretic. Because of this, those fanatical crusaders put forward the slogan of "kill a Jew to save your soul" during the crusade, and the Christian church tried its best to force Jews to change their beliefs and even destroy them, including using violent means.

Jews are different from the Christian world in all aspects of social life because of the uniqueness of religion and values. Because of this difference, they are often regarded as "non-China people", thus forming a profound prejudice. It can be said that this difference will not necessarily become a real conflict. Generally speaking, any national culture has two functions: exclusion and tolerance. Exclusion contributes to the continuity and stability of traditional culture, which is a response of culture to foreign heterogeneous culture out of its instinct to protect itself. Inclusiveness is conducive to absorbing foreign cultures and adapting to social development. These two functions are not synchronized and balanced, and they are closely related to the confidence and openness of this culture and its social environment. Because the European world after Greece and Rome does not have the superiority and self-confidence of China culture, coupled with the paranoia and irrational factors brought by the dominant position of Christianity in social thought, it shows strong rejection rather than tolerance to heterogeneous Jews and cultures. In this way, the differences in cultural life in a society dominated by two different religious beliefs have actually become an excuse for real conflicts.
