You said:
They were responsible for inflation during the 1816 famine in which tens of thousands of people starved to death. People in Germany were forced to eat bread made from straw and saw dust because of the inflated cost of grains along with the debt and interest owed to jews.
The real reason for the 1816 famine:
The Year Without a Summer (also known as the Poverty Year, and the Year There Was No Summer) was 1816, in which severe summer climate abnormalities destroyed crops in Northern Europe, the American Northeast and eastern Canada.Historian John D. Post has called this "the last great subsistence crisis in the Western world".It appears to have been caused by a volcanic winter.

Just wanted to point out that you have misrepresented this guy's post here, even after quoting it.

The reason why there is a percieved dislike of the Jewish people is simply because it is very difficult to distinguish between the Jewish race and the Jewish faith.
Let me explain.
Generally in this day and age, and particularly on a forum as this, there is a growing and strengthy distaste for religions of most sorts. Religion is seen has the harbinger of irrationality, of unfounded beliefs and a very malleable justification for almost any actions one could wish to take.
Each religion poses a set of problems and Judaism is no different, in fact Judaism poses a unique set of issues that imo make it a particularly incongruent faith with the modern world.
The fundamentals of the faith are very simple and require a bit of sociological investigation; 2-3 thousand years ago a particular community within the modern middle-east found itself at odds with many of the other tribes occupying the area. This tribe was chased about and eventually fled to Egypt where they recieved further persecution. Wherever they went it seemed that they were shunned and excluded, and doubtless began to feel as though they were somehow unique and different from the other peoples of Earth.
This eventually translated directly into a religious mythology which firmly established and entrenched their 'otherness' from all others in the form of a 'covenant' with God. This covenant basically confirmed, through the words of God himself, that the this particular race, or ethnicity of peoples were his chosen and favoured ones. This 'chosenness' forms the fundamental basis of Judaism, and is particularly unique amongst religions, because instead of there being a 'chosen' belief system, which is objectively correct and can be adopted by anyone, there is rather a chosen ethnicity to which it is less obvious how to convert.
To me, one of the greatest challenges facing humankind is those things which delude us into believing we are essentially divided. We will only know global peace once we realise how similar we are to one another, that every person on the planet is not worth any more or less than any other, that we a re a single global community that needs to work together so that we can work on living in harmony for the progression of us all.
The Jewish faith posits as a fundamental belief that not only are there a small group of 'chosen' people on the panet, but that there are a lot that are unchosen, or somehow out of favour with God. This is unnacceptable in my opininion and can do our global human community absolutely no good.
As I mentioned above however, the problem with the Jewish faith, which has lead far too many people astray toward hatred of the Jewish people is that it has been paired inextricably with an ethnicity.
What you may be calling 'anti-semitism' is precisely the dislike of the Jewish race, which is naturally deplorable, as is any hatred toward an ethnicity based merely on their ethnicity. But saying that one is anti-semite for disagreeing with the Jewish faith is like saying that one hates all blacks if one disagrees with Rastafari, or one hates all pasta because one disagrees with TFSM.
The reason why there is a percieved dislike of the Jewish people is simply because it is very difficult to distinguish between the Jewish race and the Jewish faith.

Because God said they were, but if you don't believe in the bible or torah, then they believe it because they believe the words in those texts, not because they are arrogant. The same can be said about how muslims modernly use the word infidel. The word would've existed whether or not the Jews would've invented it or not, people like to seperate themselves based on religion and race and always have since the beginning of man, I dont see how one race has done it more than others, you think Jews have done it more because it may seem more apparent, it is highly visible at the moment probably because few Jews are left on the planet.
According to what I've studied, the devil wants to extinct the Jews from the planet, because this will bring about Armageddon, he has used Hitler in an attempt to do this, he is using Muslims alike.

Kol Nidrei is both the opening prayer and the name for the evening service that begins Yom Kippur. Kol Nidrei means "All Vows." In this prayer we ask God to annul all vows we may make to God (not to people) in the next year. The prayer is in Aramaic because that was the language of its composers. This prayer should be recited before sunset because vows should not be annulled on Shabbat or holidays. The Kol Nidrei prayer is recited three times. Each time it is recited, the chazan's (cantor's) voice gets louder as if he is respectfully approaching a King with a request. The fact that Kol Nidrei opens the Yom Kippur prayer service, and not the fact that it is an annulment of vows, makes the Kol Nidrei service so meaningful.
Observance among secular Jews Yom Kippur is considered one of the holiest of Jewish holidays, and it is observed by many secular Jews who may not observe other holidays. Many secular Jews fast and attend synagogue on Yom Kippur, where the number of worshippers attending is often double or triple the normal attendance.
6But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him?
7Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
It is perhaps appropriate that on this most unholy of days—when the goyim engage in the worship of their corpse-god, a bleeding abomination nailed to wood, a purported son of Israel, no less— the name of the evil-Hitler shall arise. Comparisons, such as those made by the verminous “not.an.anti-Semite,” are, for greater certainty, indeed, made exclusively by antisemites.
