I am not aware of any Christians that are anti-Semitic. There is no overt (or subvert) anti-semitic in the Bible. It is written by Jews, anti-semetism would not make any sense. The idea that Jews killed Christ, or that ANYONE killed Christ, is anti-biblical. The Bible clearly states that Jesus gave up His spirit and no one could kill Him but He laid down His life.
Further, no true Christian could be anti-Semitic (or, IMHO, Anti-Zionist). One of my friends accepts Jesus as the Christ and he a practicing Jew.

Anti-Semantic? Or Anti-Semetic? Against Semantics or Against Jews?
Either way, it's a learned behavior. If their parents or close friends are like that, they tend to follow suit. (Not always, but most people seem to want to "run with the crowd")

I'm anti-semantic. I don't know the difference between good and ok. Nor do I care to know the difference. That's an anti-semantic.

I'm a Christian and I am not anti-semantic ... why do people categorize one group of people all the same?

Sorry, I don't know any Christians that are anti-semitic. All the Christians I know personally are pro-Israel and hold the Jews in special regard as God's chosen people.
Israel knows that among its strongest allies are American Evangelical Christians.

Anti-semantic? That's a nice idea but what would people have against the study of linguistics?

IMHO it's catching just like a disease.
My bro-in-law lives out east in a city where he apparently deals with several. Unfortunately, he inherited his father's bigotry and homophobia. Although he's a rational guy, he does make comments....
Just the other day my husband made a comment. I called him on it, and he admitted that it was just a knee-jerk reaction like most stereotypes are. But we had also been to visit his brother recently, and I think it had started to rub off a bit.

Taught behavior. Almost everything, but anything to do with viewpoints and religion most certainly are taught behaviors.
And it may not be purposeful teaching - parents aren't always aware how astute young children are and what they overhear.
Oh, and it is semetic - hatred of jews.
Semantics are differing definitions and meanings of the same word and phrases.

Im a Christian and I dont have a single problem with the Jews. I dont think most of us do. There are just some jerky people in EVERY walk of life who don't like anyone different from them

What is an anti-semantic? I have heard of someone who was Anti-SEMITIC, but never semantic...
