It's not only the muslims that bay for their blood. Unbelievable as it may seem, there are a goodly number of Christians, probably fairly fundamental admittedly, who despise the Jews because their ancestors killed Jesus.
It's true! I have the honour and privilege to be related to one and I know she's not alone.
Can you imagine the unreality of it?
The killing of Jesus (if he existed and was so killed) is the very foundation of the belief system professed by Christians.
And yet they hate the people who presented them with the opportunity to found their religion.
Work that one out.
The error in your diatribe is the assumption that Jesus was a Jew. He wasn't.
Jesus was of the Tribe of Judah and therefore an Israelite and a Judahite; he grew up in Nazareth and is therefore a Nazarene; Nazareth was in the Land of Galilee and so he was also a Galilean, but he was no Jew.
The so called 'jews' in the New Testament were not Israelites they were Edomites as was King Herod and the Pharisees and Jesus rebuked these people a numbers of times accusing them of upholding the traditions of their fathers which was a reference to the Talmud which the Edomites brought with them out of Babylon.
The Bible is in fact a book about two groups of people; the Hebrews who went on to become Israelites and the Canaanites of which the Edomites are a particular branch just like the Hittites, Moabites etc.
The two groups are arch enemies.
