    Gab is a Christian safe-space
Christ was a Jew, and his followers' safe-space is anti-semitic?

I'm surprised that this revelation comes as a surprise to you.

The core problem is that anybody can call themself a Christian. Anybody can say that they're following Christ's teaching, living a Christian life, etc - regardless of how closely it tracks with the things that Christ did or said.

(By "can", here, I mean can in a practical sense. I mean that these things occur. I do not mean that any of these things are approved of by any particular natural or supernatural being(s).)

By extension, anybody can hang up a shingle and call themselves a Christian church. As a result, you have thousands of Christian sects. These sects exist within a spectrum ranging from somewhat pro-semitic to rabidly anti-semitic.

Even within sects - especially the largest - you will find that adherents are scattered over a pretty broad range of that spectrum.

So, yes - there are a fair number of anti-semitic Christians. Their existence should not come as a surprise to anyone.

And that's before we consider eschatology...

If you think _Christianity_ is an inoculation against anti-Semitism, well, you might want to have a look at Jewish history in Europe.

I don't, which is why I didn't say I did.

I don't believe a site focused on anti-Semitism is a "Christian" site or full of people practicing the teachings of Jesus.
