We don't.
VERY NAUGHTY FIGS
Jew in the Hebrew (yehudiy) means “of the tribe of Judah”.
Jew in the Greek (Ioudaios) means “of the tribe of Judah or a resident of Judea”.
Judah is only one tribe of Israel (Jacob).
During and after the Babylonian captivity, many infiltrated the Levitical priesthood or said they were of Judah. Ezra on the trip back to Jerusalem wrote.
NONE OF THE SONS OF LEVI
Ezra 8:15 And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there abode we in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.
This is also illustrated in the parable, the two baskets of figs (Jer.24:1-10). One basket of good figs and one basket of naughty figs. So by the time Christ came along things were very rotten.
PLAY ACTORS
Matt.23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to His disciples, Matt.23:2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
The scribes and Pharisees sit in authority, they have taken over. Then Christ tells them to observe (inwardly), for they say and do not. Later Christ calls them hypocrites.
Matt.23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
In the Greek (hupokrites) means “an actor, stage player”. They are playing a role.
So many Biblically illiterates slander Judah, when it was the basket of naughty figs.
In Revelation Christ tells the church of Smyrna and Philadelphia.
WHICH SAY THEY ARE JEWS
Rev.2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Rev.3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

Christ was Jewish - How can Christian hate the Jews so much!?!?
True Christians understand that hating anyone is wrong. much less Jews.
I know several so called Christians have bought the "Replacement theology" which is bogus.
I find all things Jewish worthy of my study and as I have gained greater understanding of Jews I have gain greater understanding of my own Christian faith.

As a rule, Christians don't hate Jews, or anyone for that matter, even atheists and satanists.
It is the sub-culture group called Haters that do all the hating. And they're pretty much spread across every religious group.

I don't hate anybody, I just think they are wrong in their thinking. True Christians don't hate anyone.
1Jo 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
1Jo 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
now here is the truth and wisdom
1Co 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
Some Jews a long time ago (little under 2000 years) literally killed Christ. It was at their hands; but, not for them that He was crucified. It was to wash away the sins of me and other Christians. Our debt is as great as those Jews....had we not sinned, He wouldn't of had to be the sacrifice for our iniquity so that we might see eternal life.
Jews and I don't worship the same God, the Jews deny Christ. That being said there is still no need for me or any others to harm them or anyone else, for that matter. Unless they repent and see "whom they pierced" their fate will be much worse than anything I could do to them anyway. I don't wish that fate for them; but, repentence....the truth however is the truth.
You probably know john 3:16; but, do you know the rest of the story, specifically John 3:18
(Joh 3:14) And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
(Joh 3:15) That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
(Joh 3:16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
(Joh 3:17) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
(Joh 3:18) He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
(Joh 3:19) And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
(Joh 3:20) For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
(Joh 3:21) But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

We don't hate Jews. We want them to see the truth. Christianity is the fulfillment of Judaism. You don't need the jewish faith because it found it's end in Jesus. Jesus Christ is the messiah that Moses and the other prophets fortold would come.

Well, as a Jew, I've got to say I'm touched by the previous posters. Thanks guys.
However, I think it is fair to say that we aren't exactly depicted as "good guys" in the New Testament. If I never knew my own faith and all I had were the gospels, I'd conclude that Jews are "sons of the devil," eager to allow murderers to go free but not a pleasant, miracle working faith healer; we are hypocritical, and happy to sell our messiah for 20 silver pieces.
Does that summ it up correctly?

Some Christians are loving & supportive of Jews, while others have bought into the anti semitic spirit & replacement theology.

I don't hate Jews. The only feelings I ever show for Jews are love and gratitude! If it weren't for the Jews we wouldn't even be here!
