I agree, some Jews don't seem to be able to get over the Inquisition! The gethos, pogroms, Holocaust... had nothing to do with Christianity and much to do with sheer evil.

Some of those were done in the name of Christianity, and Christians who opposed those policies were a bit thin on the ground, if they existed at all. It makes Jews a bit gunshy about trust.

It is in that jumble of ideologies that I call “Americanism” that we Jews have found a safe haven.

There is no branch of Christianity, other than Anabaptism, that does not have, somewhere in its history, some guilt of oppressing Jews - in places other than the United States of America. Why not America? Because even Christianity is different in America and a part of Americanism.

I always have wondered why Jews, that acknowledge arabs and muslims are their “enemy”

Sadly, very few of my people that I know consider the Muslims as an enemy.
