More on anti-semitism

Why anti-semitism? My theory is that people hate G-d, pure and simple. Life is hard, you have to get up every day, you get angry, 'pleasures' don't really provide pleasure, 'entertainment' is not so entertaining...what kind of G-d would do this to us? And yet, everyone knows that the
G-d of Israel is G-d; when the founders of the Christian and Islamic religions wanted to root their religions in a foundation of truth, they based their religion on the G-d of Israel, then added that G-d had changed his mind about the Jews, which of course he didn't.

Everything concerning Jews is big and important. We are constantly in G-d's 'eye' and we are the subject of his 'attention'. We are truly his royal family on earth. He wants us to serve him and we don't. We, just like everyone else, find it painful to live under G-d 'thumb'. We also hate G-d (G-d forbid). So...

Non-Jews hate Jews, except for Jews who are truly pure and holy and righteous.
Jews Hate Orthodox Jews, except for Orthodox Jews who are truly pure and holy and righteous.
Orthodox Jews hate Jews who are more Orthodox than they are, unless these Jews who are more religious than they are are truly pure and holy and righteous...

...and very few of us are successful at achieving purity and holiness and righteousness. May G-d bless me and you with a "arousal from above" to be successful in our quest to be pure, holy and righteous.
