How does Christian-Jewish conflict "lay the groundwork" for the Holocaust? This is the sheerest bigotry. It is a lie. There is absolutely no linkage. There were religious frictions which are common to all people everywhere. The Jews are no less hostile to Arabs than Christians were to Jews. But they do not commit genocide. The Holocaust was sui generis--and it is a libel against Christianity to say otherwise.

How does Christian-Jewish conflict "lay the groundwork" for the Holocaust? This is the sheerest bigotry. It is a lie. There is absolutely no linkage.

The Holocaust was sui generis--and it is a libel against Christianity to say otherwise. Then what set the stage for the holocaust? It didn't come from nothing. There is a long European history. Holocaust didn't materialize out of thin air. You can claim Adolph Hitler, his top leaders and the SS were anti Christian but this does not explain how 6 million European Jews ended up dead. You can claim that Jews don't want to accept that that Jewish Pharisees are responsible for the death of Jesus. Other side of the coin is you cannot accept Christian blame for the Holocaust. Be careful because I'm not saying that the entire blame for the Holocaust falls on the shoulders of European Christians.
