I don't understand how there can be black people in favor of Hitler. How do they rationalize praising someone who would have genocided them?

History lessons in the US focus on the Jewish victims of the Holocaust to the exclusion of all others. Plenty of people don't know that gay, trans, leftist, or non-white people were genocided.

Yeah, but isn't he Christian? I think "Jesus Walks" was one of his songs. Jesus was absolutely Jewish and Christianity was a sect of Judaism for decades, maybe even hundreds of years. I'll never understand hating the people that founded your religion.

If you're a Christian, you believe that Jesus was the Messiah and that modern Jews deny that. It's not really a contradiction.

Again, it was a sect of Judaism for decades for sure, probably centuries. It doesn't matter what you believe.

It's not controversial that today's Christianity is descended from people who saw themselves as Christian Jews, Jews who followed who they believed was the Messiah. I'm just saying that there is no inherent contradiction in following Jesus and hating the Jews who did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah. Jesus being a Jew himself doesn't really matter, since in this situation he's kind of a special case.

Yes, they are both Jewish, no matter what word you put in front of them. Both Jews.
