Centuries of Christian Anti-Semitism Led to Holocaust, Landmark Church of England Report Concludes
(Telegraph-UK) Gabriella Swerling - Christian theology played a part in the "stereotyping and persecution of Jewish people which ultimately led to the Holocaust," a landmark Church of England report has concluded. The document, which has been three years in the making, marks the first time that the Church of England has made an authoritative statement on the subject of anti-Semitism. The report said Christian attitudes towards Judaism have provided a "fertile seed-bed for murderous anti-Semitism," and noted that a similar hatred of Jews continues to exist today within political discourse by "pro-Palestinian advocates."
