Wish I'd said that

“It is a tragedy in which Jesus participates, crucified again in the person of His people at the hand of many baptized in His name.  The sin of anti-Semitism contains many sins, but in the end it is a denial of Christian faith, a failure of Christian hope, and a malady of Christian love.  And was not this Christianity’s supreme defection: that the Christian people to who persecution was promised by its Master (John 16:2-4_ was not the most persecuted people in Christendom, but rather was it the people from whom He came?  And the ultimate scandal: that in carrying the burden of God in history the Jewish people did not find in the Christian churches an ally and defender but one of their most zealous detractors and oppressors?  It is a story that calls for repentance.” —Catholic priest and historian Edward Flannery
