Any Christians over there who support the muslims against the Jews are foolishly hoping the mohammedan crocodile will be full after eating the Jews.

No. The Christians over there are in far more danger than the Jews. The Jews have an army and nuclear weapons, the Christians have almost no one to back them. If it was perceived Christians were siding with Jews over the Muslims, they would be slaughtered.

Notice that many of these statements were not only anti-Semitic, but primarily anti-Western.

Christians in the Middle East are highly fragmented. Many of the statements above were made by representatives of various Orthodox churches, and the Orthodox, by their structure or lack thereof, are notoriously nationalistic and always clothe their natinonalism in religion. In many cases, they do not even need a "nation" to champion, but an ethnic group, real or imagined. And Orthodox churches hate the West, for cultural reasons.

As for the Catholic (either Latin or Eastern rite) speakers, many of them have dabbled in liberation theology, and under their religious rhetoric is the same old Marxism that reared its ugly head throughout Latin America. The left is extremely anti-Semitic, and one of the things it hates about Israel is that it is a successful, Western-style country in a dismal region filled with the usual non-functional Third World style countries. These "clergymen" are mouthing the usual anti-Western garbage and dressing it up with a bit of religious imagery so that its true source will not be recognized.
