Thanks, I'll look into those links.

I never could figure how people who called themselves Christians could be anti-Jewish. Do they really not realise that Jesus was Jewish?

Most of the history that I mentioned is documented by notable Christians. There are online archives of the old works, but there is much more out there.

That one's at Calvin. Thomas Aquinas recorded and wrote some interesting stuff.

There are also Catholic archives.

"Do they really not realise that Jesus was Jewish?"

As far as I can tell from having asked a few, they seem to envision him as being an anti-Jewish Jew. They choose creative comments and individual verses about him over the documents (including New Testament) that portray him as a student of the Torah. And IMO, they confuse what is attributed to Paul (who also said that he was Jewish, although he demonstrated more Hellenistic beliefs and came from a Hellenistic place) with statements attributed to Jesus.

I'm not Jewish, BTW. If I were, this message wouldn't be transmitted tonight. The study of Judaism (newer study of mine) is comforting, though.

REAL Christians can't be anti-Semitic. You are absolutely right. One thing that worries me right now is that the USA is urging Isreal to "give up" God given territory. Every inch of Isreal was given to the Jews by God Himself. I feel there will be a penalty for this. It saddens me also.
