I've seen many jews on here insult christianity. May I ask why? I mean, Jews were the original christians. In fact, Christianity was a sect. of Judaism.
the apostles were jews as well. Howcome so many jews insult christians.
and ANYONE can answer this, I'm just curious.

I have not seen what you have, apparently. I have seen Jewish people asking challenging questions of Christians, but this should not be regarded as an insult. I'm not saying that no Jew has ever insulted Christianity, just that I have not personally seen that here, at least that I can remember.
As to why they ask challenging questions - it's because Christians target Jews especially for conversion. Christians have a strong desire to convert Jews, and very often offer arguments to try to prove Christianity. Jews are simply responding by asking them questions back.

First off, Jews were NOT the original Christians...in fact... only a few Jews converted to Christianity and these early Christians had to go to the Pagans to get converts. 2ndly, the Jews who do insult Christians do NOT represent the Jewish belief. Throughout Rabbinic liturgy there are quotes saying that one should not insult his fellow man....including Christans. Judaism does not hold it against someone if they are of a different religion. Unlike religions such as Islam and Christianity which require someone to share their belief to go to heaven, Judaism believes that anyone of any religion can go to heaven provided that they are a good person. (unlike Christianity which would say that a Jew who does not believe in Jesus gets eternal damnation). In summary, the Jews who do this do not represent the religion of Judaism and are not being nice people and are not doing what they should be doing according to their religion. This does NOT mean that all Jews believe these horrible things about people of other religions.

Not all Jews are Christian. In fact majority of them do not believe Jesus. Original Jews do not believe Jesus as God but Christians are followers of Jesus and his teachings.
I do not believe that there are many Jews now a days who are insulting Christians. There are only few of them, and maybe on personal grudge and not religiously angry with christian people and maybe those who say that they are Christians but not true Christians who follows some teachings of the pagans.

Here is YOU Answer from the Word of GOD!
(Romans 11:25-to-28) For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
(Rom 11:26) And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
(Rom 11:27) For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
(Rom 11:28) As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
The JEWS.... Having been given the Law and the Covenants LOST their Position with GOD, by their Continued Rejection of HIM!
The Entire OT is filled with Example after Example, even when the Glory of GOD left the Temple, Jerusalem and they departed Israel, the JEWS Still had their Heathen IDOLS in the Temple of GOD! Read Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel!
The Ministry Jews for Jesus made an impact to and for those JEWS who Our LORD had opened their hearts for Salvation!
They NOW embrace Jesus and Know GOD!
ONCE.... The Time of the GENTILES is Fulfilled...... ISRAEL will be restored! Perhaps read Romans 11 and that will explain this REASON!
Thanks, RR.

Well I don't know and can't speak for them. But I always wonder if they get tired of a percent of Christians thinking they are all buddy buddy with them.

I haven't seen any insults. Show us a few and we'll talk.
Perhaps you consider it insulting because we don't believe anything you teach...

because they know nothing about their own religion, or any others for that matter
