The Jews are in reality from one of the 13 tribes of ancient Israel, the tribe of Judah. Jesus was a Jew through his mother Mary whose line traces back to King David Abraham and all the way back to Adam, the first human being. The nation of Israel began in Egypt as an enslaved nation that after 400 years was led out of Egypt by Moses and into the promised land by Joshua. Later on due to idolatry GOD punished Israel by allowing the Assyrians to conquer the northern ten tribes and about 130 years later the southern three tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi were conquered by Babylon and taken to Babylon. After 70 years in Babylon GOD allowed these three tribes to return to their land but because most of them lost the knowledge of their tribal identity they all came to be called Jews. For example the Apostle Matthew was a Levite and Paul was a Benjamite. Throughout their time since being in Babylon the “Jews” were always a people ruled by another power, Greece and Rome. The Jews were banished from Judea after their rebellion against Rome in 70 AD, the year Rome destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple of the Jews. From that time forward the Jews wandered among the nations without no homeland until November 29th 1947 when by a United Nations resolution 181 established the nation of Israel that would take effect on May 14th 1948 when the British mandate ended.
The vast majority of the “Jews” in Israel are peaceful people desiring the things everyone wants from life. There does exist a small group that long ago abandoned their religion and have formed a secret clandestine network with goals of evil intent. Becoming antisemitic because of this makes no sense as the majority of the Jewish people have nothing to do with what is called the Illuminati. There are many conspiracy theories about this Illuminati and some are probably true and some are not. Hating any people is wrong and violates the second of the two greatest of all commandments; you shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Well this was a very brief article concerning a much more broader topic that would be better explained in a good history book combined with the Bible.
