Why are Jews so widely prosecuted throughout history? What happened at the very beginning?

This unfortunate question gets asked rather a lot. It seems a lot of people want to believe that the Jews must have done something to "deserve" thousands of years of prosecution, marginalisation and genocide. It should be obvious that this is not the case; we have some pretty excellent older answers on the history of antisemitism in our FAQ, for example here and here and here and here.
