Yes, history repeats itself, we are on the verge of the next holocaust. Islam is a small minority in America and Europe. Most antisemites in Europe and America are Christian. Try to understand things from a Christian perspective. As a child you love Christmas. You love the colored lights, the gifts, the Christmas cookies, the beautiful songs, the family time together. You love baby Jesus with all your heart. Then 3 months later comes Easter, and you find out that Jews killed him. You hear that Christ was first revealed to the Jews, but they rejected them. You read the Gospel of John and find out that Jews are the children of Satan. That Jews worship in the synagogue of Satan. You study the Bible and find that the New Testament is the new and improved Testament, that the teachings of the Old Testament, were only a precursor to the greater truths revealed in the New Testament. You feel totally morally superior to Jews, who follow a flawed religion. It is this sense of moral superiority that makes you condemn Jewish institutions and the state of Israel as corrupt. The protests against Israel are a coalition of the self righteous.

Some Christians read the Old Testament, and the Gospel of Matthew. “Judge not lest, you be judged”. Can a Catholic person condemn Jews for killing and stealing the homes of their neighbors when this is exactly what they did to Jews in Jedwabne, and for the past 2000 years? Can a British person condemn Israel for civilian killings in response to rocket attacks, when the Brits carried out the firebombing of Dresden in response to V2 rockets.

Every Jew should read the New Testament. It won’t protect you from the next holocaust, but at least you will understand where it’s coming from.

And how does this explain the explosion of anti-Semitism from our most anti-Christian institutions, the universities, NGOs ,etc? And are the young stupid people who support Hamas Christians? No, they have no fixed beliefs and are thus prone to the influence of Marxists and Islamists and racial arsonists.

This is a grossly unfair characterization of the vast and varied believers in Christianity.

I agree. Many of my neighbors and coworkers are evangelical Christians and we share the same love of America, the same belief in traditional values, the same ethical code. But as Disraeli said, “The Jews are a nervous people. Nineteen centuries of Christian love have taken a toll.” I am named after my father’s brother who was killed in Jedwabne Poland. Jews and Catholics lived in the same impoverished town in Poland. Then the Nazis came and the Jews were slaughtered not by the Nazis, but by their neighbors. This has been the pattern for the past 2000 years. Oct 8 was a wake up call for all Jews. The pattern is on the verge of repeating.
