Answer 1

There are definitely some Christians who hate Jews, mainly because of ignorance and watching too many anti-Semitic films.

Answer 2

In Anne Frank's Diary, it says that Christians blamed for giving away secrets to the Germans, because they betray their helpers, and for the the fact that, through the Jews, many Christians suffered terrible punishments and dreadful fates.

Answer 3

If any Christian was to hate a Jew it would be ridiculous as Jesus was a Jew. True Christians do not hate the Jews. Hatred is not one of the fruits of the spirit of God.

Answer 4

Throughout history Christians who have not embraced this modern and liberal accepting view of the other have hated Jews and it bares some explanation. There are several bases on which these views have been predicated. It should be noted that the overwhelming majority of Christians no longer hold any of these Anti-Semitic views.

1) Blaming Jews for the Crucifixion: Although most Christians today follow the Pope's perspective on this matter (even if they are not Catholic), throughout history Christians often referred to Matthew 27:24-25. Those verses claim that the Jews decided to take on a curse for choosing to execute Jesus over Barabas. The lines in question are: 24 When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!" 25 All the people [Jews] answered, "His blood is on us and on our children!"

2) Rejection of Christ: Christianity held a special place of contempt for Jews because they explicitly rejected Christ as their Lord and Savior.

3) Rejection of the Holy Faith: Before the Modern Era, the idea of religious freedom was very limited, especially in Europe. Catholics even murdered Protestants for heresy. Since the Jews were far more heretical, correspondingly they received greater punishment.

4) Blood Libels: Throughout Europe in the Middle Ages, there was a pervasive belief that Jews used the blood of Christian boys for the creation of unleavened bread on Passover. This is, of course, ridiculous, but many people believed it and hated Jews for this perceived injustice.

5) Wealth or Poverty: Jews who were wealthy were despised by Christians who were poor. This was common all throughout Western Europe. Jews who were poor were despised by Christians who were both poor and wealthy. This happened far more often in Eastern Europe. Although this is not a religious reason, this sentiment was primarily felt in Europe before the 1800s. (Since the 1800s, it has gained much more of a foothold in the Arab World.)

6) General Anti-Semitic Rationales: There are a number of other reasons for Anti-Semitism, but these are not exclusive to Europeans or to Christians such as: Fear of the Other, Pseudo-Scientific Racism, Conspiracy Theories, Failure to Assimilate "Properly", and Disbelief that Anyone Can Believe Differently among others.

Answer 5: Various Answers about Christians Not Hating Jews

  • We Don't Hate Jews.
  • I wouldn't say that Christians hate Jews. I'm a Christian, and I don't hate them. We might not agree on who Jesus is, but that doesn't mean that we hate each other.
  • Also not all who have the name of being a Christian are such. 'Not everyone who says to me Lord Lord shall enter the kingdom of heaven but he that does the will of my Father'. The Jews are by nationality God's chosen people, through whom the savior of the world came. God's promise to Abraham that 'all the nations of the world would be blessed' through his descendants has been abundantly fulfilled in Christ. Christians are thankful to God for his amazing preservation of the Jews to this day. He is certainly not finished with them. He loves them just as he loves every other person.
  • True Christians do not hate. True Jews (I am guessing) do not hate. We strongly dislike but don't hate. And Christians don't hate Jews. We just have different views.
  • We don't, any good christian wouldn't. I have a crush on a Jewish girl.
Answer 6It may be because of one or more of the following reasons:
  • Jews are usually more loyal to Israel than their own countries were they live. and/or

  • Jews don't believe in Jesus as son of God, or God, or prophet, and/or

  • Jews killed Jesus; as believed by Christians

What does this mean ? That everyone else gets a pass for their hatred but Jews alone must answer for theirs ? Does that mean that the one who said "Love one another as I have loved you" was only speaking from his Jewish roots, but once he made the jump, he was free to leave all that behind and to enjoy hatred without guilt ?
