I'm not against semites but I'm not too crazy about Zionists. By the way Judaism and Zionism are as different as day and night.

defining "semite" has no impact on the actual definition and origin of the word "anti-Semite" and its proper use based on that origin.Semite

and Judaism and Zionism in many dimensions overlap substantially.
Maybe people don't realize how much Christians love the Jews
If we analyze the Christian history, we see how much damage anti-Semitism produced even to Christians themselves.
when half Italy was under the Spanish domination, we suffered great injustices.
In 1492 Isabel and Fernando, the so called "Catholic" kings expelled all the Jews from the regions of the Spanish empire (including Italy). In my town there was a very important Jewish community.
Expelling the Jews damaged the Spanish economy (and ours), because they were the engine of economy.
My dream is to recreate a Jewish community in the ancient Jewish district of the historical centre, by turning the main Church into a Synagogue. This would try to repair the great injustices that the Spanish did to us (the Spanish destroyed lots of Greek monuments too)
In this article (I don't understand a word, it's Hebrew), it is written about the Jewish community

I'd agree more with saying that Christianity can't be anti-Semitic, not Christians. Same with Islam and Muslims. Christians and Muslims are humans and humans, no matter what, do make mistakes. including ones that could go against their religions.
Christians and Muslims should not be anti-Semitic is more like it to me.

Even if one completely ignores that a Church can never be a Synagogue this is the perfect recipe of "How to make people hate Jews even more".
The only country that is at peace with Israel the land of the Jews is Egypt and Egypt is not a Christian country. There I'll be no anti-semitism among Christians if the Jews converted to Christianity. Jesus died both for Jews and Gentiles even though he was killed by the Jews. But the Jews continuing to reject Jesus is an affront to Christians because it makes Jesus who was a Jew an outcast among his own people.

Things that make you go, "Oy vey", eh?
Given that it says quite damn clearly in the Torah and such that the Messiah would come and KILL LEVIATHAN AND RAISE ISRAEL INTO THE HEAVENS I think Jews could be forgiven for not thinking The Nazarene was their Messiah.

First of all, Jordan is at peace with Israel and, secondly, your "understanding" of both Christianity and Judaism seems to be both very limited and highly distorted. I recommend doing some serious studying before posting more on this.
Jordan at peace with Israel, but for how long.

There's almost always going to be some tensions between countries, but the leadership of both Jordan and Israel well know that it is each's self interest to continue mutual cooperation. The biggest friction there are with some in Jordan who simply feel that Israel shouldn't exist or are upset about what happened in the last conflict between Israel and Hamas.

While you can debate the extent to which these countries are "Christian" in any meaningful sense, North America, Central America, South America and Europe have friendly if sometimes tense relations with Israel, and certainly have not been at war with Israel (at least not since the founding era) nor denied recognition to Israel. Egypt is actually a very bad example for a number of reasons.
You seems mixed between belief and race , Jesus (pbuh) was jew in race but not belief . so he came to complete so correct/fix .
Jews rejected him (his belief) .
Hitler and Nazis worshiped germanic gods ?
most of germans were Christians , what germanic gods you talking about ?
watch this video :
You don't need the video to prove this.
Hitler was never excommunicated by the Catholic Church. Goebelles was...for marrying a protestant divorcee.
Honestly, the only 'pagan'(more just a general mystic) in the Third Reich was Himmler, and even Hitler thought the chicken-farmer was a nut.
After thinking about it, I think the appropriate statement would be "Christians aren't supposed to be antisemitic". This is true because a lot of Christians I've known (way too many) are indeed antisemitic.

I disagree. When the OP says 'christians' I take it to mean real Christians. In this manner, he isn't required to change the wording.
