In recent years Christian conservatives have become outspoken supporters of the current Israeli government, and many have railed against the rise of anti-Semitism around the world.
But in the AJCommittee poll, 20 percent of the Jewish respondents said that ââ¬Åmostââ¬Â members of the ââ¬Åreligious rightââ¬Â are anti-Semitic, and another 21 percent selected ââ¬Åmany.ââ¬Â
That puts religious conservatives second only to Muslims and far behind African Americans in being regarded as sources of anti-Semitism in this country.

Similar to what I discussed in [url=http://forums.originaldissent.com/showthread.php?t=11656]Are Falwell and Robertson Responsible for Rise of Far Right?[/url]
It the continuing and seemingly crazy feeling among jews that Christians are anti-semites of course is no surprise - just part of the continuing paranoia toward outgroups so chatracterestic of Judaism. Its similar to that odd poll reported by Kevin MacDonald where he asked Bay Area jews "is it possible to elect a jewish Congressman, or is anti-semitism" still too high. A large percentage of Bay Area jews thought the latter, even thoug in fact almost all of their congressional delegation it would seem was jewish.
The real question of course is the attitude of the Christians, why they suppose jewish anti-Christianism will go away magically of all Christians just say nice things about jews and support Israel. The masses of Christians of course know very little about jews and judaism.
