You can easily see why the experience of Jews would be helpful if you're looking to get action on religious persecution.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Jewish persecution is a historical memory of the present generation and people fear it in the present day, and that's why those references are so much more powerful. I just understand that better now.
Jews have suffered persecution from misguided Christians who tortured the Jews for their part in killing Christ. These Christians forgot that Christ died because of the sins of all men.
No person with a sense of the dignity of mankind can condone the persecution of the Jewish race in Germany.
Persecution is not an original feature in any religion; but it is always the strongly marked feature of all religions established by law.
Jews have long experience with Christians who have tried to help us in putting our Judaism behind us.
I think the thing that I most appreciate now is that stereotypes involving Jewish identity activate fears of persecution that exist in the present day.
A fully positive relationship between Christians and Jews is one that would elide all differences.
A religious commitment coupled with theological awareness gives Jews a much better way to answer the claims made upon us by missionaries representing other religions than do the rather weak political and cultural arguments of the secularists.
It seems, though, that historically we have now reached a position in which Jews cannot legitimately be understood always and only as presumptive victims.
The Jews are a race and not a religion. My goal was not to persecute the Jews but to enlighten Gentiles to put them on guard.
