I wish I could make sense of Blogger's post but I can't because it doesn't.
Just because Jews might interpret a saint's remarks as being anti-semitic, doesn't mean that those remarks were, in fact, anti-semitic. Moreover, Blogger is wrong to imply that the Nazis were Christians. Naziism was an anti-Christian ideology and the Nazis persecuted and killed many Christians.

But my question is, what is the point of bringing this up? What purpose does it serve to go over the same tired litany of sins that Christians have committed against Jews over the course of the centuries? Most Christians today are not anti-Semitic and it is Muslims, not Christians, who are fueling the current resurgence of anti-semitism around the world. It isn't Chrisitans who threaten Israel. Ignoring the current threat while fixating on a threat that no longer exists does not make sense.

How can this be? Finally a post that makes some common sense out of all this.

Thanks, Steadfast. You did it for me. ;-)

Dunno. If it was a list of actual antisemitic acts it might make sense...but, wasn't it Jews who first began persecuting Christians? I recall something in the Bible about a Saul....
