Responding to the ongoing silliness from the anti-Semitic Nationalist crowd on another platform.
*****
As someone a bit older than most of the folks involved in this seemingly unending debate, this re-emergence of anti-Semitism (however it may disguise itself) is bizarre. Romans answers this all quite clearly - all are equally under sin. Israel’s punishment in 70 AD may have taken a unique form due to the covenant, but it was their following after the Gentiles in their wickedness, rather than worshipping and obeying Yahweh, that was the problem from the moment they left Egypt on until Yahweh divorced them. They followed the Gentiles. Their sin may have been worse in the Old Covenant due to their relationship to God. But we have greater light and blessing now, per Hebrews, making any Gentile sin today even worse. Treating Jews today as the same as those pre-70 AD is anachronistic.
