What's with anti-semitism? I have heard about it everywhere, but nobody can seem to explain where it came from. Why the Jews? Why does everyone poke fun at them?

I think it may have been the circumcision thing. It might have turned people off for some reason. :wink:

Its not just the Jews, every group (and i do mean every single one) is ethnocentric to some extent. Jews get stick from other ethnicities for their actions, both historical and recent, as do other nations. The only difference is that in the west most media organisations are owned or heavily influenced by Jewish groups, so they recieve more coverage. A lot of so-called anti-semitism isnt anti-Jewish at all, just an accusation levelled at someone in order to try and deflect criticisms, a good example of this would be the furore currently going on about the passion.

Jewish people are not the only Semites... all middle eastern peoples are..
