That cite was basically an unsupported rant.

E.g. - the assertion of early Christians misunderstanding of the Jewish faith - The apostles were all of the Jewish faith, and Paul, the apostle formerly known as Saul, was a devout Jew and a religious scholar before conversion.

I know of no Jewish persecution promoted by or through Christianity. There is nothing in the Christian scriptures to promote Jewish persecution.

“I know of no Jewish persecution promoted by or through Christianity.”

ROFLMAO. Go read up on the Papal States. For one great example, read about how the Pope personally oversaw the kidnapping of a Jewish child -— in 1870

“There is nothing in the Christian scriptures to promote Jewish persecution.”

On this, I actually agree. But Christians took it upon themselves to do it anyway, interpreting their scriptures to justify persecution.

While persecuting Jews is completely non Christian, unfortunately it wasn’t uncommon among nominal Christians frm the dark ages until farely recently.
