Read the Jewish Talmud holy scripture to see why there has been 2000 years of not liking God's " Chosen People"

It is wrong to condemn all followers of a religion for the barbarism of some of its ancient teachings, or indeed for the actions of some fanatics. Jews as a religion are no better or worse than anyone else.

"Jews as a religion are no better or worse than anyone else"?

I'm not aware of any other religion which claims: ...Rabbi Ginzburg states "if a Jew needs a liver, he may kill a passing non-Jew & take his"

One Rabbi’s opinion is just that - one opinion. His followers may or may not accept it and other Rabbis may agree or disagree. In practical terms, someone else’s kidneys might not be a good match. You can’t just pick someone off the street and steal a kidney.

All religions have barbaric ancient teachings. It is not fair to condemn all for those barbaric teachings.

The Talmud is not holy scripture. The Torah and Haftorah are holy. The Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmuds are collections of Rabbinical guidance and interpretations of Jewish Law. As such, they are not fixed for all time but reflect the circumstances of their day. Much like Islamic Hadiths they can be interpreted to suggest certain actions are lawful even though we would abhor them today. An example is the rape of a prisoner of war using an implement, an event which has caused both widespread revulsion and praise. Djamila Boupacha was similarly raped with a broken bottle during the Algerian war of independence. In war things happen.

Has caused widespread revulsion AND PRAISE

If a priest or rector had suggested Christians can take the liver of a passing Jew the whole world and its dog would be screeching anti-semitism. The hypocrisy of Zionist is truly breathtaking
