The study of Jews, I think, will eventually fall on the study of human nature.
The history of mankind is a naked history of looting and killing, with various means and more cruelty than animals. And the most suffering nation is the Jewish nation.
In the history of more than 2,000 years, except for the short 1 30 years of peace in the Ptolemy dynasty in the Greek era, Jews suffered displacement, exclusion, genocide, slaughter and war in the rest of the time. Especially in the inhuman massacre of World War II, the cruelty shown by human beings made hell tremble.
However, in addition to the direct perpetrators such as the Germans, others in Britain and the United States, other European countries and countries that have the ability to help them, their indifference is an accomplice. Some people may say that this is all based on political measurement, but whether it is a country, a group or an individual, the vast majority are silent and show their sharp blades.
With countless lives and hard work, Israel was founded in 1948. Jews who have been wandering for two thousand years finally have their own country. However, after being slaughtered and rejected by pagans and other countries, a series of discrimination also appeared among Jews. Wealthy western Jews discriminate against poor eastern Jews, while domestic Jews discriminate against domestic Arabs.
You see, discrimination is an instinct, which has nothing to do with the country, nationality or religion.
It has something to do with human nature.
Before, I always wavered between "human nature is good" and "human nature is evil". I think this may be an inconclusive argument, but now I agree that "human nature is evil."
Of course, this is not a pessimistic conclusion. However, when we look at history from a philosophical perspective, we will get rid of more personal tendencies and become more rational, and such research will be more valuable.
