37. I wish I knew myself.

I've never quite understood it completely, but probably mainly because there is so much history and it has been an issue for so long, I'm just not up to reading everything there is about it. It's not an American problem, it is mostly an everyone problem and has been an issue for centuries best I can tell.
It seems to span from the generic and unfounded hatred of Jews in the US, all the way to Europe, and even worse in the local countries surrounding Israel.
It's always been an odd thing to me. Up until maybe 10 years ago, I couldn't point out a Jew in a crowd. Even now, I still struggle figuring it out except in the worst of the caricatures depicted in terrible cartoons.
My only guess is that it all has roots in the stories told in The Bible, and morphed over the centuries from there. I'm not sure how that is relevant in the modern world, but people really are weird when it comes to stuff like this. It can mostly never be explained with reasoning. It's the same for pretty much all racial hatred.
