I originally posted to AskReddit, who told me to come here. Im in the middle of reading a book about ancient London atm and Ive read that there was a systematic genocide of the Jewish community around 14th century London, which poses my questions. Why are the Jews always chosen to be the scapegoat throughout history? I understand that other races have been treated unfairly throughout history, but it seems as if the Jewish community is usually the target, and have been for millennia. Where has our deep seeded hatred for the Jews begin and why?
Additional discussion is always welcome, but you may be interested in our FAQ section on Jewish Stereotypes and Persecution Throughout History.
