I have to admit the phrase puzzles me too considering that the ideological ancestors of the same people who say it are those who engaged in some of the worst excesses of Anti-Semitism. Catholicism had a huge problem with outward Anti-Semitism until very recently. And even those who say Anti-Semite things usually defend themselves with a “but I love and support the state of Israel.” Call me skeptical but that support seems shallow if it’s based on religious reasons. Anyone remember when Robertson prayed for Sharon to die?
