Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Our Three.

Greetings, conversationalists. Welcome. It's Eric Erickson here across the nation. The phone number is 877-97-9-737425. There is some breaking news. You may be

familiar with Shani Luke. Shani Luke is one of the people to German, Jewish. She was at the

music festival, captured by Hamas. She was paraded in the streets.

Some skeptics, including somebody who works for Turning Point USA, suggested she was in a hospital in Gaza

and everything was fine. She's been found beheaded. So there you have it. The excuses people make. So I wasn't

going to do this. I actually have shaken up what I was going to do because I'm getting asked

this question a lot. In fact, let me read you one of the emails I got from Carolyn. Thank you for your insight and show.

I can't call during your show, but I listen and have a question. What's the history on why the Jews are so

hated? Growing up, Christian and in church, I was never taught Jews were to be hated. I know there's

a long history with many nations, but I still don't understand why they're so hated. Thanks for considering answering this.

And then it is so Carolyn is one of the people.

A lot of people have been asking this question.

I want to do my best to explain this to you.

I'm not an expert, but I read the experts and I've talked to enough people.

So let me, let me step back and

I want to be sensitive and delicate to the question of why is it that there's so much

anti-Semitism pouring out all over the world? To begin, we've got to go back to part of the beginning.

In the early Christian church, we're talking Roman imperial existence prior to AD 70 in the fall of Jerusalem, what was happening was early Christians still

identified as Jewish to a degree or tied into Jews. Jews, because of their nature and their religion,

had special protections in the Roman Empire.

While most people were forced to worship the Roman gods, the Romans understood it.
