the small number are miss-guided. The bible does say those who help the Jewish people will be blessed.
Thank you for not generalizing.

Unfortunately, there is no restriction on who can call themselves "Christians". So anyone who wants to can apply that title to their group. So you will find everything in the world lumped somewhere under the title "Christian". Also, many people who come to the Christian faith bring previous prejudices with them.
But anti-sematism has been too often a part of the Christian faith. It comes from the split between the Christian and Jewish faith 2000 years ago. Too often the Jews have been seen as "Christ-haters" or "Christ-killers". Which is unfortunate. The Christian church has lost many of the traditions and heritage they could have gotten from the Jewish people.
(And I did not think your last question was badly phrased - if people took the time to read the whole question, not just the title line. Now watch somebody try to attack this one because the title could be made to imply more Christians should be Nazis, instead on only a small minority. (LOL))

No one... absolutly No One... of The True Christian Faith could be a Nazi shmpathizer or Jew hater... The Jews are God's chosen people, And The Head of The One True Church is also The King of The Jews..... The nazies are against The Word and Will of God... any one can claim to be a Christian...that don't make it so... and if they hate Jews and are Nazies that proves they are not Christian.

Why? Because some people are racist.
When it comes to radicals in America (and other places), most white supremacy groups/Nazi sympathizers are know more by something called 'Christian Identity' which is not 'really' Christian nor is it really an organized religion. They twist the Bible around and believe that white Europeans are God's Chosen People and that Jesus wasn't actually Jewish, just an Israelite. They reject the teachings of modern Christian churches anyway.
For example, the Church of Jesus Christ-Christian is a white supremacist group.

I think it's true that a small minority of any group are Nazi sympathizers, Jew-haters, and haters of any number of categories they can come up with.

they are mis-guided. Unfortunately, sad to say, a lot of people don't read the Bible for themselves & they're believing what someone else told them which may be a misinterpretation of what the Bible says or an out-right lie. I don't personally know any Christans who are Nazi sympathizers or who hate the Jews. Let me say that I'm glad not to know any.

Lets hope that what you say is true, because during WW2, I'm afraid "Christians" in general were aiding the Nazis. Even better, of course, would be if no "Christians" were Nazi sympathizers. The two could never be reconciled anyway.

There are always fringe groups in every belief. The problem is that many people see these people as representative of Christianity because they get the headlines. Most Christians are law abiding, mild mannered citizens. You know the saying, "one bad apple spoils the whole barrel." (Something like that)

because if it was a majority then we would have war with Israel to wipe the Jew off the face of the earth.
Which also brought up the point that there may be more Anti-Semite out there but they just don't want to show themselves because that would make them into targets.

They´re not really Christians at all. A religion is not defined by its abusers, but instead by its founder.
Do you really believe that Hitler was a "Christian" as he claimed to be? What aspect of his behavior revealed that the love of God dwelled within him?
