It is important for Christian to keep the sad history of Christian antisemitism in mind when responding to the Israeli-Palestine conflict in the present because history is a significant reminder of what has happened to inform better decisions in the present. While difficult to confront, it is imperative the Christian reconcile a past of antisemitism because it created a large domino affect on the events that followed in Europe during World War II — particularly in during Hitler’s rise first in Munich and then throughout the rest of Germany. The oppression that already existed only served to kindle and further inflame anti-Semitic political, social, and economic acts against Jews. Due to this reality, Christian must keep this history in mind when responding to the Israeli-Palestine conflict to contextualize the various historical factors at play. If Christians fall short of doing so, the risk of repeated history runs a tremendous risk that humanity cannot afford to relive.
