I don't associate anti-Semitism--which is a prejudice that does not usually involve hatred--with Hitler's genocide. Those who do so attempt to link ordinary Christian-Jewish conflicts to Hitler's hatred. This is ridiculous.

The idea that antisemitism doesn't involve hatred is ridiculous (as well as factually incorrect-check a dictionary), unless the expulsion of Jews from Europe, as proposed in the late 1800s by the Antisemitische party in Germany and France is an ordinary Christian-Jewish conflict.

It's odd you seem to view anti-Semitism as a Christian-Jewish phenomenon.

Hitler exterminated 6 million Jews, but he didn't hate them. He just disliked them alot.

I focus on the Christian-Jewish clashes because that is what is usually cited by some Jewish scholars as giving rise to Hitler. They charge the Catholic Church with historic anti-Semitism and claim its policies led directly to Hitler. This I reject for the following reason.

For every action there's a reaction. Freemasonry and Bolshevism were historical movements in which Jews were heavily represented in leadership roles and which directly attacked Catholicism. Of course there was a reaction to this by way of a rise in prejudice. But this is not the same uncaused psychopathology that Hitler represented.
