The Jewish Nation carries with it a blessing but much of the current hatred toward the Jews dates back to writings from the early 1900s. Those writings were used to brainwash concentration camp soldiers, and those ideas are still influencing culture today. It is the blessing of the Lord that causes Jewish people to rise to the top of every society. We have a lot to learn from our Jewish heritage.
