Curious... and some observations or points

Hello,

This is great opportunity for open conversation. Instead of picking well known faces, considered extreme to evoke a reaction and to represent all evangelicals or Christians as anti-semites, I was hoping to get past outward appearances and ask deeper, significant questions.

1) Why did/are millions turning to a Judeo-Christian G_d and/or a Jewish Messiah out of choice? When gentiles turned to Yeshua ben Yoseph, son of Miriam, of the tribe of Judah, why do they transform to love Israel and Jews?  Why are believers sending billions in medicine, food, clothes, hospital construction, and aliyah payments so Jews may return to Israel? American Christians alone are responsible for hundreds of thousands of Jewish people returning to Israel. What happened in our country?

2) If we remove concerns of well-known issues. Can we ask some questions? Can G_d be working thru Yeshua? Well, he worked thru Balaam. Yeshua taught, "To the Jew first, then to the Gentiles."  No surprise, He was born a Jew, cried for Israels eventual destruction at the hands of Romans. He taught his Jewish disciples to speak in the Synagogues first. Whereupon many did freely believe, thousands in fact. Amazingly, they were more open then to hearing opposing views than today during supposedly liberal times. Think about that for a minute. 

This changed after Constantine's rule. He turned a small Jewish-Gentile sect into a government religion. And therein begins the road to ruin. Corrupt govt. officials  punished and discarded Jews based upon false premises. Following the Roman institution of govt. run religion, begins a terrible history of a wondering Jewish nation in travails under constant fear. They were attacked by Romans, by Islam later. By atheist in Russia, by maniacs like Hitler. This is the weirdest fact of history unknown to any other people in the world. Why? What purpose?  Yeshua or his disciples did not teach such hatred, only love. There is not one single verse in the New Testament that directs believing Jew or Gentile to hatred of others in the name of Yeshua. Plus we find that oppression and terror are not limited to Jews, but Christians too. Millions of Christians have died, more so than the Holocaust. Corrupt government leaders have done this. Atheism still today in China, Cuba, even in Russia there are problems. 

What is significant is how the Old Testament states Jews would be spread to the four corners of the earth and experience great misery as being sifted and winnowed.  Yeshua too states this would happen to both Jew and Gentile believers. So, if we're blaming someone for anti-semitism. Should we blame the prophets of old? Or G_d himself?  I say this respectfully and humbly, not flippantly. These are serious questions to discuss, yes?  Why is this pattern established again and again?  And why now, at this time is Israel once again being gathered back from the four corners? And why are gentiles, who are largely clueless to history and certainly not anti-semite helping so many return?

I have more thoughts, but this is long already. I'm curious what others think.
