Yet you claim to be aware of the reasons behind anti-semitism via the wiki article, which makes clear the role of christianity and the church in the persecution of Jews for deicide.
So which is it? You're not aware of the accusation of deicide and were fibbing about being aware of the reason mentioned in the wiki article, or you were aware but are fibbing about it?

Someone who follows christianity is not the church are they?
Those who followed the religion up until relatively recently were actually following the church's teachings.

I shall, although I'll put it in context in the way you have failed to do. You know, in the grander scheme of things, which is what I originally said. You must have missed it. Compared to total populations.

There is no context where 6 million murdered can be considered anything but a massive figure. Well, not to any decent person anyway.

Oh look, this is where you say you're aware of the reasons mentioned in the wiki article
