Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians"

Historically that’s a manufactured thing. Christians were not allowed usury, charging interest on loans. Jews didn’t have that limitation. One solution they came up with was barring Jews from doing other jobs and forcing them into the money lender role, with the Christian landlord asking for their cut in fees. That gave Jews a reputation for being distrustful greedy bankers.

Another part was that Jews were quite spread out over a lot of areas and didn’t have a “home country” to back them. You see a similar level of distrust, historically and even today, against Roma and Sinti.
So Jews were always a minority that was easy to scapegoat for all sorts of problems.

Also Jews refused to become Christians and Christianity wants to convert people.
The most entertaining part for me is that Jesus was a Jew, so Christians hating Jews as a group means they hate Jesus.
