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?
