I'm saying that since the Biblical text designated the Jews as the chosen people, it naturally inflamed the senses of everone else.
Just as with the Hatfield's an McCoy's, after a few generations people forget why they hate the other side, but they know that they must hate them and can never stop or be called a heretic.
Just look at our kids in the public school system today versus what their grandparents believed.

I don’t think it’s that simple—either projecting from the Bible to the present or as (full) causal explanation of resentments today.
