Christian motives have always caused some suspicion in the Jewish community, especially more devout Christians who often turn their efforts at vilifying Jews at some point in the political cycle.

Now who is stereotyping?

I recommend you read

History of the Jews by Paul Johnson

A renoun Catholic Historian and Scholar.

Or

In Defense of Israel by John Hagee

Somewhat Controversial book by Rev. John Hagee that details why and how the Jewish community came to fear and distrust Christians. Some see this book as Catholic Bashing but the assertions are even more detailed in Johnson's book.

There is a long history of Christian persecution of Jews, denying that is foolish.

Rather, the question is whether Christians have truly repented and learned from this historic evil, and it takes time and repeated examples of Christian action that matches the sweet words to create trust that only 60 years ago was so terribly shaken.

If we cannot agree on the facts of general suspicions of a people who are haunted by the deaths of so many loved onese, then we cannot move forward to finding trust. Only two members of my Great-Grandparents generation survived. This isn't a distant memory, it kept me from God for nearly 50 years, trying to accept that God could and would allow it. Many still have not been able to cross this barrier. It takes time.
