I have often thought: what exactly is it about Jews that makes them so despised?
Forget all the tropes about usury, simony, et al, because that is attributable to any group. I would like to go back further.
In the times before Moses...what exactly was it about Jews in particular, their society, religious practices, social/sexual mores, that put them against the other local tribes, where the other tribes wanted them dead?
I have never heard a clear delineation of exactly what it is that makes Jews deserving of such treatment.
