Adam Ebberbach (FGCU): Anti-Semitism
Half of my family is Jewish, so I’ve encountered hatred towards Jews throughout my life. People have a common misconception of Jews; they see them as money grubbing, big nosed, Yakima wearing loud business owners. I got to tell you, that is complete bullshit. We get a bad rap because some evil backstabbing people back in the day got together and gave Jesus over to the Romans. These people happened to be Jews. Does this mean that all Jews are like that? Of course not. Keep in mind that I have been around a lot of Jews in my time and I am used to that “type” of person. But see that is the problem; there really is not a “type” of person I can think of unless we’re talking about color ethnicity. Jews are normal people with a negative tag stapled to their Menorahs. I compare it to saying that all Muslims are terrorists who would strap a bomb to themselves and blow up buses. Seriously, it’s just a stereotype that causes trouble for people who follow this religion. It will take many steps to eradicate this problem but the first step is to realize there is an issue and educate people on the facts.

Anti-Semitic sentiment is a problem throughout the world, but the causes go back farther than simply the theorized killing of Jesus. The Jews have, for the most part, been a prosperous people, yet the covenant they made with God makes them act as God’s chosen people, though in the meantime they must take all the negative stigma attached to such a lofty station. In truth, biblicilly speaking, the Jews are God’s whipping boys, as crass as that sounds.
Fast forward to modern day, the Jewish people are doing well, as many conspiracies are attributed to them, controlling the media, etc., in addition to having their own state where it arguably does not belong. Add to that the aggressive tendencies of elements within the Israeli government, it is not difficult to see why anti-Semitic sentiments still abound.
Regardless, the Jews are proud of their stations, as through their tight-nit communities they have prospered through many horrific acts, such as the diaspora and the Holocaust. Yet they continue to prosper, which in turn makes them scapegoats for society. If not us, then why them?
