Where is Christian sensitivity to an allegation that has led to the death of millions of Jews throughout the ages?

By the mear fact that a Holocost museum exists in a country where no Jewish Holocost occured and the taxes I'm bled to support Israel is all the proof of sensitivity thats needed. Without the U.S. and its overwealming Christian population, Israel would be nothing but a smudge! And yet I've heard more hatred towards Gibson and Christianity from Jews then I've heard from Christians hatred towards the Jews after they've seen the movie! Wheres the rampid Anti-Semitism this movie was to spark?

Well, I cant speak for true Christians,but I would submit that the allegations by some Jews of anti-semitism are incredibly insensitive and patently false.
And I also detest insidious PC speach requirements that are supposed to shut the Christians up, most especially nowadays, when this country desperately needs to hear uncompromising Christian values spoken of proudly and loudly.

I dont consider myself a "Christian" in the organised religion sence of the term.
So, as an educated outsider, I think that Jews are entitled to wallow in their fears all they want too.What they are not entitled to is Christian deference to such fears,or "sensitive" Christian apologies for the core beliefs of their faith.

It is really starting to appear that some artificially "media" amplified voices in the Jewish community feel free to label Christianity itself as the most vile form of modern anti-semitism. I tend to question such voices.I doubt they really speak for such a large group of individuals in such matters.But then again, I also dont believe the NAACP is the official spokesgroup for the black community in America.

There have been many thoughtfull essays from members of the Jewish community that manage to express their concerns and fears, without thinly veiled attacks on Christianity itself.

This is not one of them.
