Oh my gosh dude...do you actually believe people are what they are merely because of what they claim? Sure, Hitler claimed to be a Christian. I knew that before you posted the quote from 1922. Saying he's a Christian does not make him one any more than me standing in a forest makes me a tree. Hitler believed that Jesus came to fight the Jews. The Bible clearly states otherwise. Jesus came to redeem Israel, not destroy it. Hitler saw the surface-level story – that Jesus was persecuted and crucified at the behest of the Jews – and put his own earthly spin on it.
After Jesus ascended and his followers took up the cause, some stayed in Judea, preaching to the Jews, while others spread out (Paul, Barnabas etc.). None of those men wished harm on the Jews. Jesus certainly never did.
