I believe that many jews are simply more afraid of Christians that they are of muslOms, fwiw. Starting after WWII there was a huge backlash towards “the right” for them, which is how they were decieved into believing that is what the NAZIs were, despite their being the national socialist party.
You are absolutely right. I know a number of liberal Jews who are utterly convinced that if something like a Palin Presidency occurred that they would be forcibly baptized. When I tell them they are living in a fantasy world and ask for evidence, for example a quote that shows its lurking somewhere in the background, they get mad at me.
I think what Jews are most extremely afraid of is their children becoming Christians and this fear has been passed down through centuries. Many must demonize and marginalize Christians to keep their kids from investigating and being attracted to the truth, the fact that Jesus is the Messiah.
Absolutely correct.
The Jewish people have an extremely difficult time trusting or believing Christians. History has provided extremely good reason for this. No, we do not trust the Muslims, either. Far from it.
Up until recent history, living under the Muslims was very, very bad, but living under the Christians was far, far worse. ( Crusades, Inquisitions, Pograms, the Holocaust.....)
Since the Holocaust, some Christians have learned to become more tolerant, and have stopped trying to convert us, revise our history and religion, or kill us because we refuse to convert.
Sadly, the majority still have a ways to go. Hopefully, one day, that will be achieved. Then, perhaps, trust can grow.
