Church of England report admits Christian anti-Semitism helped lead to Holocaust
In a major report that was three years in the making, England’s established church cited “the attribution of collective guilt to the Jewish people for the death of Christ and the consequent interpretation of their suffering as collective punishment sent by God” as being among the ideas that “contributed to fostering the passive acquiescence if not positive support of many Christians in actions that led to the Holocaust.”
Mirvis notes that a 2015 statement by the Vatican pledged the Catholic Church to “neither conduct nor support any specific institutional mission work directed towards Jews.” The Church of England document, by contrast, makes no such blanket commitment, instead urging Christians to “think carefully about mission and evangelism in the case of their Jewish neighbors.”
The chief rabbi warns of a “real and persistent concern, set in a tragic historical context, that even now, in the twenty-first Century, Jews are seen by some as quarry to be pursued and converted.”

“If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.
“If Hamas put down their weapons, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons, there would be no Israel."
