Sure.
Going around telling people "The end is nigh, repent" and attacking random merchants also didn't do much.
But your claim was that Jesus was more open to civil disobedience than the Pharisees were. I don't see any evidence that that is correct.

Even this is an over-simplification, and an attempt to find some group of Jews that were the "acceptable" target of Jesus' ire.
Among other things, Jesus actually joins with Beit Shammai on divorce, holding by far stricter requirements for it than Beit Hillel does.

Are you sure about that last point, that Jesus was more open to civil resistance than the Pharisees were?
Because the Gospels appear to record the Pharisees politely asking Jesus to join in on a tax strike, and he responds by crudely insulting them and refusing.

It’s not anti-Christian to point out that Christian teachings and scriptures have been used to justify and perpetuate antisemitism. This is simply stating reality.
Just because it’s uncomfortable, doesn’t make it any less true. Also, it doesn’t mean we’re impugning your personal faith.

And that includes examining the founders of Christianity from the earliest gospel writers and on.

I hate and fear republicans too.
But I know that liberal Christians, who should be on my side, can't be trusted to actually protect Jews until they do the work to unpack the anti Judaism in their Christianity.

Look, I genuinely don't object to your religion or to you.
But Christianity has anti Judaism written deep in its texts, traditions and history.
And until Christians acknowledge that and fix that, Christians, even ones like you who don't intend harm, will continue to harm and endanger Jews.

And the Christians of the time, the same ones who preserved all we know of Christianity, also wrote gloating essays talking about how this was the proper punishment for the Jews killing Jesus.

This is not a rare thing in Christianity. Every single Christian sect and organization has consistently been steeped in anti Jewish hate.
Until Christians like you recognize that fact and demand it stop instead of pretending it's the fault of "other" "fake" Christians that will continue.

There are. And I wouldn't dare to be so arrogant as to claim that only my Jews who are with me are "real Jews."
That kind of arrogance seems to be fairly unique to Christians.

However, you also believe a lot of inaccurate and offensive things about my ancestors, because your religious texts were written by humans with their own biases and motives.

I have read the Gospels. I read them in college, and was shocked at how insulting they were to my people, and how inaccurate they were about ancient Judaism based on what I had learned in history class.

Justin Martyr (145 CE) blasted the Jews for killing Jesus and for leading people away from salvation and gloated about the destruction of the Temple.

Just to give one example, Christians reading the Gospels are led to believe that the Pharisees, the proto-rabbis who were champions of the poor and helped found Rabbinic Judaism were "getting rich" off of the poor Jews.
