I think that modern-day anti-Israeli feelings felt by Palestinians have a different root than the anti-Jewish feelings that gave rise to institutional hatred and pogroms of the last 2,000 years. The Israel-Palestine situation is complex and, I feel, more related to colonization and displacement than religion – think Native Americans vs European settlers. However, the pogroms and hatred of the last 2,000 years I have always thought were rooted in the old, not current, teachings of the Christian church that Jews were ‘bad,’ as they were implicated in the death of Jesus. Seems crazy, as of course, Jesus WAS Jewish.
