The prejudice that dares speak its name (update)

Further to this blogpost I have written to AQA to ask them the question that I ended my original piece with.
'why do some people hate Jews?'

I understand that the above was a question on a recent religious studies GCSE exam paper. Leaving aside the reasons why this question appeared on an examination paper, I would be interested to see the suggested marking guidance for this question. In other words, what constitutes a correct answer. Could you provide this please.

Let us see how they respond and if they do provide them, what constitutes a correct answer.

Obviously they can't tell you what would constitute a correct answer, as that could be cribbed by students in advance.
What would be much more interesting would be a breakdown, after the papers have been marked, of what percentage of students think that there are sound, valid and genuine reasons for people to be prejudiced against Jews.

Ric: The exam has already been sat so it's a bit late for that excuse? I agree that that information would also be interesting.
