Great post explaining the background of the long history of antisemitism by Christians. Some *ahem* interesting posts left by Christians in the comments section too.
I have come to realize how little understanding most people have of Judaism – I guess it’s easier for a Christian to think Judaism is basically like Christianity just without the Jesus part with some old traditions remaining, but really there are fundamental differences in thinking and sadly, I have come to witness that some Christians learning this somehow find it very hard to grasp, and somehow unwilling to accept that their religion was once created out of such ‘strange religion’. They hold this concept of Judaism in their minds, thinking they know what it’s all about. I can’t explain it better, but it’s this strange condescending attitude that takes over those people, still acting pretendly nice but with a slightly judgemental tone. It annoys the hell out of me (excuse the pun here haha) when Christians think they know so much about Judaism because ‘they have read the Old Testament too’ or something along those lines 😝
