Survival of the Jewish people is at stake when a Jew worships a false god. Survival of the Jewish people depends on not following false gods, Jesus or any other. Some of those so rejected are Christians. Rosen accuses the Jewish people of unjustly blaming Jesus for the sins of Christians who have persecuted. Jews who blame Christians, Christianity, and, yes, Jesus for anti-Jewish persecution need not apologize.
History supports the accusation.
Above all, it should be recognized that the New Testament's Jesus taught the basics of Christian anti-Jewish behavior. The New Testament is the major theological source and the initial literary instigator of Christian anti-Jewish persecution. In fact, the New Testament's Jesus advocates persecution of those who did not follow him. The New Testament's Jesus is responsible for establishing Christian anti-Jewish behavior. The claim of a gentle Jesus, nonviolent and loving, is simply not true.
