"The coming of Christianity brought with it a hatred that would drive the Jews "from place to place, from city to city, from country to country," and the last two thousand years of Jewish history is the story of the Diaspora."

What is this? Why were the first Christians hiding in the upper room, when Rome clearly had no quarrel with them? How many Jews died facing the lions? Believe it or not, a long time ago, there were more Jews than Christians, and the persecution went the other way...

Yes...undoubtedly for the early years Jews persecuted Christians. Now let's look at the last, say, 1800 years.

Christians were greatly persecuted after Christ's death and still so today. Let's not forget the many Jews who followed Christ and became Christians too.
