This is true, but Jews were rabidly anti-Christian/gentile as well. The ancients did not hate people for no apparent reason. They were not ignorant hicks. Even the Greeks and Romans had the same reactions. The Rabbi's Talmud with its strange fantasies of "Jesus" boiling in "semen" (it goes to how twisted the Talmud is that it would even imagine a boiling pot of semen to begin with), passages that justified all manner of crimes against Gentiles, prayers in their synagogues, and their practices as merchants and money lenders, raised a huge amount of ire against them. Islam learned a lot from the Pharisee's Rabbanical teachings.
It just isn't politically correct to mention this. We're just supposed to let people tell us that all our ancient church fathers, Popes (if you're Catholic), Protestant Reformers and ministers, were just plain evil people who held prejudices for no good reason whatsoever.
There was also that stuff about siding with the Moors during the Islamic occupation of Spain, where they subsequently ended up not being trusted by either side.
Think bad about our triune god? Burn him!
Makes sense.
Considering the history of the Jews and their dealings with Gentiles, it is hardly surprising that there’s animosity on both sides.
Peter’s response to God’s command to go to Cornelius gives a lot of insight into how strained the relations were at that time.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I recall hearing/reading somewhere that what God’s original intent with the Hebrew people was that they be His instrument for bringing the Truth about Him to the rest of the world. And to spread the news about His love for mankind to men so as to save them.
And they did not do this.
