Jewish leaders today: "Why did Christians have a history of anti-Semitism?"
Jewish leaders in Jesus’ day: “Crucify him!!!”
Jewish leaders today: “Why did Christians have a history of anti-Semitism?”
LOL !
But then Jesus himself was a Jew, and almost all of his original followers, including all 12 apostles, were all Jewish too.
So the whole drama of his life took place within the Jewish culture and nation of the day. The fact is that some Jews loved Jesus, and some hated him and wanted him dead.
Those historic facts don't by themselves do much to explain Christian anti-Semitism.
Why not focus on his Jewish origin and many Jewish followers, and instead focus on the small mob that backed the State in his persecution and execution by crucifixion?
By the way: neither of the two Dutch scholars who wrote these articles (this one, and the one I posted yesterday) are themselves Jewish. And, for the record, neither am I.
The author of this article has a Ph.D in Christian Theology from one of the oldest Universities in the Netherlands, which played a huge role in the development of Dutch Reform theology during the early Reformation.
It's still an interesting topic, and lots of Christians and other non-Jewish people are interested in the question of "What is the origin of Christian anti-Semitism?"
The orginal controversy was wether Gentiles could be saved without becoming Jews.
Christians have been persecuted openly around the world, killed...WW2 saw many Catholics killed...it wasn't just the jews....
as long as jews in the US continue to espouse anti Christian sentiment then the same should be given to them....
its leftist rats, that include a large number of jews, that has pushed porn, legal weed, homosexual rights and this crazy gender identity crap....
