quotes:

In the first millennium of the Christian era, leaders in the European Christian (Catholic) hierarchy developed or solidified as doctrine ideas that: all Jews were responsible for the crucifixion of Christ; the destruction of the Temple by the Romans and the scattering of the Jewish people was punishment both for past transgressions and for continued failure to abandon their faith and accept Christianity.

In the tenth and eleventh centuries, these doctrines about Jews were hardened and unified in part because of the following: threat to the Church hierarchy from the impending split between Roman Catholicism and Greek Orthodoxy (1054); successive waves of Muslim conquest; end of millennium fervor; successes in converting the heathen ethnic groups of northern Europe; and military-spiritual zeal of the Crusades.

Seeking to retain their beliefs and culture, Jews became bearers of the only minority religion on a now Christian continent of Europe. In some countries, Jews were welcomed from time to time, but, at a time in which faith was perceived as the principal form of self-identity and intensely influenced both public and private life, Jews found themselves increasingly isolated as outsiders. Jews do not share the Christian belief that Jesus is the Son of God, and many Christians considered this refusal to accept Jesus’ divinity as arrogant. For centuries the Church taught that Jews were responsible for Jesus’ death, not recognizing, as most historians do today, that Jesus was executed by the Roman government because officials viewed him as a political threat to their rule.

You are obviously not a Christian. You must be a leftist college professor of theology or worse a Vatican cleric.

Do you not know that the Christian Bible includes the Old Testament, which is equivalent to the Jewish Torah.

Christians do NOT blame the Jewish diaspora for the death of Christ. Jesus himself was a Jew. Pontius Pilate (Roman governor) was the one who ordered the crucifixion of Christ when he offered the people who they preferred to be freed from prison. They chose Barabbas instead of Jesus, These people were equivalent to modern day deep state globohomo democrats. They were and are the scum of the earth.

Whenever you see anti-Semitism in America, it is coming from the left, NOT the right (and certainly not from true Christians).
