Why do people hate Jews? The Jewish religion and faith is the oldest continuously practiced as such in mankind’s history.

Jews — an immeasurably small percentage of the world’s population — have been spectacularly productive in terms of science, philosophy, literature, art, and music in the world’s history.

Just for one example of great importance, Jesus Christ was a Jew. The creators of the atom bomb were almost all Jews. The list is endless. But then why do so many humans hate Jews? Jews took a miserable stretch of donkey manure covered desert and turned it into the second largest producer of biochemistry breakthroughs in history. (READ MORE from Ben Stein: Making Sure Fear Strikes Out)

Jews created movies and made them into the most influential art form in human life. Why then, do people hate Jews? Why do Germans, among the most intelligent persons on earth, hate Jews so much that they created the Holocaust?

Where does such hatred come from on our earth? Is it all envy? Is it because Jews look different from other people with their black outfits and unusual hats? I just do not understand it.

Your humble servant has been the victim of real, actual anti-Semitism all of my life. As a child my mother endlessly pointed out to me beautiful neighborhoods that were “restricted” against Jews. She also pointed out that feature of country clubs. It made me wild with anger and frustration.

In high school, a great girl I had been dating broke our “date” for the senior prom because her father would not permit her to go to that super big event with a Jew.

It still rankles me. INFURIATES ME. Makes me crazy.

My wife, a Presbyterian and the finest woman on the planet, says this hatred is genetic. Maybe it is. I don’t know. I just know it hurts and never stops hurting. Even now, right now, after the worst Jew hating event since the Holocaust, the Hamas-caust of October 7, 2023, the United Nations and other haters blame Israel for defending itself after Jewish women were raped, had their abdomens sliced open, and had their in-utero infants yanked out of them and decapitated in front of them. (READ MORE: Gaza: What Nixon Would Do)

Why? When has any other racial group suffered so horribly for no sin?

Please dear God, stop.

If the Republican Party stands for anything these days, I hope and believe it stands for freedom and the rule of law. That’s what it was founded on and what it still stands for as far as I know.

Why then has the GOP abandoned the major moving party fighting and dying for freedom in Europe today: the Ukrainians? We have armed them and supported them for roughly two years now.

The brave Ukrainians have fought and died for freedom against mighty Russia. Mighty Russia has been shown to be not quite so mighty. Freedom has a chance in Western Europe. This is good news indeed. Why are we now walking away from them? (READ MORE from Ben Stein: My Life at 79)

I understand that it’s a way to exert power against Mr. Biden so he tightens up on border security here in the USA. That’s an extremely important and worthwhile goal. I would even call it vital. But just because we do something that’s good for us, why do we then have to do something that’s bad for us?

Freedom in Europe is not a small goal. It’s a life or death goal. Anyone who follows the lead up to World War II knows that. Why don’t we Republicans know it?
