Hi Seaghan! o you think that many Christians could be possibly angry at the cultural heritage of the Israelities? I am sure many people want to make the journey to Israel in order to make peace with the “Holy Land” and observe an international culture, but what is it that we are truly looking at here? I received more commentary about the issue of American slavery (before the American Civil War) than I did about the Holocaust when I was a student in school. I feel a bit shameful for not connecting the dots about how much of a problem antisemitism is. Why are so many Christians antisemitic? Are they seeking to distance their beliefs from Israelites? What drives their thinking? I feel it might be ignorance and fear of what the Israelites have to offer.
