There was sympathy for the Jews after WW2…so what? Israel is a fait accompli and it’s not going away
The world loved the little jooish nation in the beginning–but they fell out of love as soon as they could not weep crocodile tears over the jews as VICTIMS…they did not like to see them as successful warriors…the old antisemitism-embedded in the Christian psyche by 2000 years of “the teaching of contempt for the jew” by Christian scripture and clergy, re-emerged.
The Joos stood up in PUBLIC FORUMS and begged for peace with their Arab neighbors but got only terror and war in return
the history of Israel did not start with the winning of the 6 day war in 1967 when they got the west bank, Golan heights and Sinai…arab armies were massing for war on israels borders in 1948–1956 and 1967…Israel had no choice but to fight
My point is and has been that the muslims [exceptions admitted like the Gulf States, Indonesia, etc] are a violent and treacherous people–Israel has learned this fact the hard way–as have a billion Hindus in India–so if a million arabs were killed in wars the past 70 or 80 yrs, then tough nougies–they brought it upon themselves–why so many christians sympathies are on the side of the arabs and not Israel can only be explained by the age old anti-semetic conditioning of Kristian scriptures and clergy…BEEN TO THE Oberammergau Passion Play LATELY?

Oberammergau Passion Play
Cunningham points out that for centuries, Christians “adopted a ‘zero-sum’ perspective: For Christian traditions to be true, Jewish traditions had to be false. This binary way of thinking expressed itself in Passion plays in which Jewish characters or even ‘the Jews’ collectively were portrayed as the perpetually blind, hateful enemies of Jesus.”
He also noted that traditionally, “Passion plays often combined the most negative ‘anti-Jewish’ elements from the four Gospels into a composite narrative that was more hostile to Jews than any single Gospel alone.
“The image of visceral Jewish hostility to Jesus was pervasive in Christian culture. In artwork, poetry and preaching, the fact that crucifixion was a Roman method of execution — and that the public display of Jesus on a cross suited Roman purposes far more than any Jewish one — was at times forgotten.”
The toxic problems Cunningham describes were in full evidence in the 2004 Mel Gibson film, “The Passion of the Christ,” which attracted widespread and harsh criticism from Christian and Jewish New Testament experts.
