  1. "The gospels blame the Jews" It's the gospels that record that the Romans executed Jesus. Christian theology says MAN'S SIN necessitated the crucifixion. It is not in Israel's or Jews' interest to cultivate across-the-board enmity and suspicion of Christianity. I am, of course, aware of a long history of Christian (mostly Catholic) persecution of Jews. But today Protestant evangelicals are the only external bloc of friends Israel or Jews have, and to have Jews react to their friends as to enemies will only make things easier for their (largely OUR) real enemies. Not all Zionists were or are Jews, and Christian Zionists had a hand in the restoration of Israel. We are the main reason that antisemitism has less of a free hand in the US than elsewhere. Go to your local Holocaust museum and see who was hiding Jews from the SS in occupied Europe. (Most Protestants in those days were what would now be called evangelical.) Neither is it a coincidence that the US, with the highest proportion of evangelicals in the West, is the first nation that recognized Israel and is the UN member state that votes against all of those nastygram "resolutions" the riff-raff keep hurling at Israel, and supports Israel's defense with vouchers for the purchase of American weapons. By dint of education, personal history, and personal interest I am quite knowledgeable about Christian theology and our Bible. There is no such teaching as you imagine and the New Testament is not hostile to Jews. It is regarded as heretical by Rabbinical Judaism, but that's another matter. The existence and flourishing of Israel is an agreeable development to Christian eschatology, for reasons which I suppose would not interest you. I have grown used to the fact that a major pastime of enthusiastic non-evangelical dilettantes is explaining my religion to me as to a child. One develops a thick skin. If our existence offends you, that is no reason to project a reciprocal sentiment onto us. A major charity to which Christians contribute is The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews which, as one might suspect, is a Charity whereby Christians give humanitarian aid to Jews in situ wherever and help them migrate to Israel from places where they suffer hardship. Aside from US military aid, US Christians are materially and politically supporting Jews and Israel in many ways, and the only Jew that deigns to notice is Dennis Prager. I am not so knowledgeable about the demographic situation in Europe, etc., but in the US, support for Israel correlates strongly with conservative-evangelical-Republican, while hostility to Israel correlates with leftist-atheist-Democrat, even among ethnic Jews. Surely a supporter of Israel has noticed being embraced by Republican presidents and shunned by Democrat ones? Knowing who one's friends are is both a mental health and a survival skill. It is timely to cultivate this, because the mid-term forecast is for rough weather, for us as well as for Jews.
