“I have never known, nor heard of any Christian anywhere, any place, any time, doing what this woman is alleged to have done. “

I agree it’s not a current issue or relevant, but you should know a bit about Jewish-Christian history.

Yes, I am aware of the middle ages persecutions, by church-state political systems, primarily Rome, which I am absolutely opposed to.

Reading some of the history of those who lived back then, the persecuted Jews came to identify “Christianity” with Roman Catholicism. And, except for some, such as yourself, having read some of their modern literature, most still do. Maybe that was the mindset of this Jewish woman in the article.

True Christians do not believe in persecuting anybody, Jews or Gentiles, following the paradigm set by our founder (Christ’s crucifixion), true Christians the the persecuted, not the persecutors.
