Boop, I think you're completely wrong. I don't think that there is hatred of Christians among Jews -- at least not among observent (or even spiritual) Jews.

There is distrust and, at times, hatred of Christians who missionize among Jews, who won't let Jews live in peace as Jews, to be a free people in their land (as Hatikvah so beautifully puts it), but who continue to tear Jewish children away from their culture and their faith.

Fortunately, the subset of Christians who go after the Jews like that is a very small group, and in my opinion its existence shouldn't poison the relationship between Jews and Christians who share a mutual respect for one-another.

The won't leave the Jews alone as they won't leave anyone alone who does not know the message of Jesus Christ WHY?
Because Jesus commanded to go and spread the GOSPEL to ALL Nations after his resurrection.

He did not say preach only to Gentiles he said EVERYONE and that includes the JEWS...

I sense that you believe that Christians and Messianic Jews are trying to "hurt" Jews by "converting" them. I must most strenuously disagree. If someone gave me information that made some sense to me, I would be grateful. If it made no sense to me I would reject it. It is up to me to decide for myself. I wouldn't hate the person who tried to inform me. Yes, this would include a Jew who "converted" someone I love.

The "subset" of Christians who "go after" Jews are not poisoning anything. They are doing as their Law commands. The return of Christ is dependent on Jews converting, therefore it is necessary to convert Jews. That to me is more important than not offending Jews by keeping my mouth shut.

Careful -- you don't want to sound like the Muslim fundamentalists who imprison Christian missionaries, do you?
