“It’s difficult to compare 37 years of persecution (from 33 to 70 AD) with almost 2,000 years of the same.”

Well, since there wasn’t 2,000 years of the “same” no I don’t find it so hard to compare.

“It’s a sad fact that antisemitism is alive and well among some Christians to this day.”

Among some, yes. And anti-Christian hatred is alive and well among some Jews.

“In Europe if you mention the word “Jew” to your typical Pole, Hungarian, Frenchman, or Spaniard you may be shocked at the reaction.”

Having been to Europe 8 times no, I don’t think most Europeans could shock me and I think they rarely think of Jews in the first place.

“Certainly not universal, and it’s more the exception than the rule in America, but it hasn’t entirely died.”

It never will.

Please tell me that you're not actually that ignorant of history.

Shalom
