What is the reason behind the perception of Jews being notorious for money-greed?

definition
"Fear breeds greed, and in the absence of love, money becomes the only dependable security; it is not the pursuit of wealth that is the issue, but the clinging to it that binds us all."
According to Osho, Jews are seen as money-greedy because centuries of persecution, fear, and uprootedness made money the only dependable security, so fear bred greed—the absence of love. Their notoriety reflects doing things openly and skillfully with money, not a unique vice. Money itself is fine; clinging is the problem shared by all.
People think Jews chase money because long fear made them rely on it for safety, but greed comes from fear and lack of love, and it can happen to anyone.
Why this matters practically
- Notice greed as fear in yourself; grow love to dissolve it.
- Avoid stereotyping groups; consider human causes and history.
- Treat money as a useful, flowing tool—don’t cling or make it your identity.
