Also, Self Hating Jews

Absolutely...and I wanted to bring up a topic which is prevalent today- I.e. ...of why the Liberal Jews hate the Jews? ... Yes unfortunately ( although this is not a new phenomenon ) one of the most profound haters of Judaism today are Liberal Jews who can find no good thing to say about conservative Jews and the State of Israel. ...this too is because of the hatred of G-D and his Torah ...

There is only one G-d.....

Excellent commentary! "When the Gentile sees the Jew, they see G-d.... I completely agree with Rashi. What a hard road for the Jewish people. I sympathize for all the hardships you go through. "HaShem is with you and will never forsake you." I joined Judaism seven years ago, and have been mistreated by Gentiles because of my devotion to G-d and His people. I would not change my history. I crossed over and never going back. Solution to anti-semitism? Love G-d and love your neighbor as yourself." Live Torah. What a challenge.

throughout history many choose to successfuly assimilate

while i think it's a tragedy especially as most don't tknow what they are giving up[thanks to aish,chabad ,njop etc there are counter forces]it is a fact that as in the usa today jews can opt out or at least see to it that their children and grandchildren no longer part of am yisroel. also not true that most gentiles hate Jews. I'd guess even today most gentiles in the world don't even know what a jew is. it is true that hating to serve an unseen G-d who makes demands is the reason for jew hatred but many gentiles are thank God not antisemites. it's always possible that can change but up to now the usa has been particularly welcoming. there are enemies of G-d but that is not everybody other than Jews
