Someone asked why does the world hate Jewish people? It is quite simple.
First, their story is a testament about God, who created the universe and everything in it. “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength." Deuteronomy 6.4,5 NKJV. Their history declares this about God: we can run but we cannot hide. He pursues us with a redemptive purpose, loves us with an unconditional love, rescues us with an amazing grace.
Second, they are a repudiation to those who choose to be victims. Jewish people endured slavery in in Egypt for 400 years; they were crushed by Babylon, Persia and Rome. Reviled in the diaspora, enslaved again by the Russians and marginalized and treated with disdain by all of Europe, then slaughtered by the Nazi's...only to emerge triumphantly to bless the Nations in--Science, Medicine, Literature, Law, the Arts, using Jewish intellect, talent and gifts.
The crown jewel, of course, is the rebirth of ISRAEL. Indeed, "never again."
