Better yet, why does everyone hate Jews? It's a global prejudice against them. Makes no sense. Why can't we all just hate Hawaiians? DAMN THE HAWAIIANS!!!!

I'm a Christian and I do not hate Jews. Although I am Christian, I take the time to learn about their religion to understand it better. Anyone who is a good Christian, would not hate Jewish people, but embrace them. Maybe even share with them what we believe as Christians.
Christians may not agree with the Jewish Religious beliefs but Christians that "hate" Jews are not living a very Godly life in my opinion.

Christians don't hate anyone. The Jews are God's chosen people. They are still being blessed today even though they are the ones who had Him crucified. If He still loves them (which He does), why should we hate them? Where did you ever get the idea that christians hate jews? Some people are predudiced against them, but it's not us.

Some hate Jews b/c they believe that the Jews killed Jesus, so therefore the Jews are demonic people.
But this simply isn't true:
"According to Matthew, each year on Passover, the Roman procurator [Here, Pontius Pilate], offered the Jews gathered in a Jerusalem square the oppertunity to save the life of a prisoner condemned to death. That year, the choice was btwn a brigand and anti-Roman revolutionary Barabbas and Jesus. According to Matthew, the Jews w/out exception chose Barabbas, and shouted the above. [Obviously, it was important to Matthew that all the Jews shouted this response; that way, all their descendants could be implicated in their ancestors' supposed crime.]
However, every element of this story, including the mob's cry, can be shown to replete w/ historical inaccuracies...:
1. Matthew asserts that although Pilate offered the Jews a choice btwn Jesus and Barabbas, his own desire was to save Jesus....Pilate functioned as a dictator...Even had the Jews had the privilage of demanding he release on prisoner, they certainly had no right to compel Pilate to crucify a man he wanted to save.
2. It defies everything we know about the Roman empire to believe that Roman procurators granted their subjects the right to save a prisoner comdemned to death. No Roman or Jewish source of the period mentioned such a privilage...In addition, we never hear of such an oppertunity offered in even the empire's most subserviant regions. Finally, the notion that an occupied ppl could secure the release of someone accused of sedition, especially in the light of the frequent rebelliousness that existed in Judah, seems, at the very least, farfetched.
3. Furthermore, as Justice Cohen asks, even if such a privilage existed. "[Why] were the multitudes [of ppl] that happened to be present [at that very moment] it's incumbents?"....Even if such a choice existed, "Why was the choice confined to either Jesus or Barabbas?"
Limiting the choice to two people is an effective literary device to heighten dramatic tension, [used to] magnify the Jews' evil....[Especially b/c] the New Testament portrays Barabbas as a brigand...and a murderer....the Jews' choice of him over the saintly Jesus indicated how deeply evil they must be.
4. Professor S.G.F Brandon, a Christian historian of the rise of Christianity...Cite[s] just one of the incongruities that convinced him that the story was fictional: "The outcome of Pilates amazing conduct was that he condemned to death the one he knew to be innocent, and released a popular resistance fighter, probably a Zealot who had just proven how dangerous he could be"
5. Crucifixion...was expressly forbidden by Jewish law."

Our Lord was a Jew and if you study the Bible at all then you know that the Jews are Gods chosen people.
If they are really Christians that love God and believe the Bible they will love all and acknowledge that the Jewish people are Gods chosen ones. The Word was taken to the Jews first and then the gentiles.

Sweeping generalities can be very dangerous. Take me for example, I am a Christian and I don't hate Jews; in fact, I love them. My husband happens to be Jewish. There are good and bad in every race of people. People should be judged on the content of their heart and by their personality and values not by their skin, beliefs or lack there of. Food for thought.

We don't. You're just ignorant.
If I must explain, perhaps there are some that call themselves Christians who hate Jews. This does not mean that Christians hate Jews. On the contrary...Jesus himself was a Jew. So why would Christians as a group hate Jews???
Duh.

You got it all wrong buddy. If a someone who calls themself "christian" hates a jew then he is truly not a christian. This is like asking a christian "do you hate Jesus?" Obviously not since we christians are supposed to love our saviour. Maybe you should talk to some real christians before judging all of us.
