How do the Jews feel about Christian Antisemitism? And why do they feel this way?

Lets see what the reality is:

* Until recently, Christians viewed Judaism as a failed religion. At best, it was only seen as a religion that prepared the way for Christianity.

* Many Protestant and Catholic faith groups have issued official apologies for their historical mistreatment of Jews and Judaism.

* Dabru Emet mentions that many Protestant and Roman Catholic church bodies have "made public statements of their remorse about Christian mistreatment of Jews and Judaism. These statements have declared, furthermore, that Christian teaching and preaching can and must be reformed so that they acknowledge God?s enduring covenant with the Jewish people

"The Holocaust took place only a few decades ago under the very eyes of Christian Europe. The Christian clergy looked on while six million men, women, and children were murdered. And as the Jewish extermination program spread from one end of Europe to the other, the Pope sat in the Vatican with his attitude of neutrality concerning Hitler and his victims. There can be no doubt that the mass genocide of millions of Jews all over Europe called for enormous participation by huge numbers of people, both Protestant and Catholic. The horror of these events transcends anything known in human history. That it should have happened at all and in our time, and in a part of the world long thought to be civilized, culturally advanced and "Christian" is incomprehensible. What would cause such terrible hatred of every Jewish man, woman, and child that they should become the mortal enemy of the populations with whom they had lived for generations? What allowed millions of people who considered themselves to be Christians to participate as perpetrators, collaborators, or silent bystanders, as six million men, women, and children were slaughtered? And how did a competition between two sister religions become so great an abyss that it made mass murder possible?"

Basically the dynamics of Christian antisemitism center around Replacement Theology, wherein the Jewish scriptures (Old Testament) are replaced by the fulfillment of God with new scriptures, the old covenant and identity and religion of Jews becomes obsolete and requires Christian conversion. To merely accept the separate identity, separate religion, separate religious scriptures with authentic Jewish interpretation (including beliefs like reincarnation) are violently opposed by Christians. Judaism is considered to be some form of incomplete Christianity which most Jews find high racist and offensive.

Moreover Jews are described as oppositional to Jesus and the Christian message, persecuting Christians and murdering Christ, this set the historical antagonism which murdered incalculable Jews as Killers of Christ. In any event, it isnt an argument about OPINIONS, its a historical record of Church sanctioned intolerance and murder.
