ever hear of Israel?? Yet many Christians in Europe are against this nation. So where do you suggest Jews live? In Mongolia? Fact is Jews have gone though the good and the bad living in Christian nations
We were discussing the "1800 years" that another Jewish poster brought up. Not the last 60.
Fact is Jews have gone though the good and the bad living in Christian nations
That doesn't really address the bulk of my question, but it is certainly a more fair statement of historical Christian/Jewish relations than I normally see.
What I see usually is a double standard where one side is free to issue a blanket condemnation on one side's ancestors and the other side has to agree with the statement and not make any rebuttal or face an accusation of anti-Semitism.
I'll give you an example. Which of these two lines could get freely published in the NY Times tomorrow with out arousing any backlash:
1. "Historical persecution by Christians of Jews,"
2. "Historical anti-Christian and anti-gentile attitudes of Jews"
Now they both happened and existed, but one is certainly a more broachable subject in conversation today than the other. Just look at threads right here on this forum.
I don't like sacred cows, I don't like double standards, and I don't like blanket condemnations of my ancestors any more than you do.
