Note however that Paul the Apostle spent considerable effort to teach his non-Jewish followers to respect Jews and their faith practices, see especially Romans 9 thru 11 inclusive (which include the information that God has never abandoned His Jewish People, notwithstanding all their historical shortcomings, and that all of them will be saved.

How much a misunderstanding or misreading of Paul may have contributed to anti- Semitism in years past, is discussable, but it really doesn’t appear very accurate to lay the blame on Paul himself.
