puzzack, understand that many have done horrible things in the past in the name of "Christ". There are those who claim to Christians and those who actually are... and a vast chasm between the two. I don't know any fellow followers of Jesus who hate Jews are any other group. Christ instructed us to love everyone... period.
Keep in mind that it was not the "Jews" who put Jesus on the cross... ultimately, he went voluntarily in accordance with the Father's plan of remption. But, it was actually an elite and hypocritical sect of the Jewish religion called the "Pharisees". The Pharisees felt threatened by Jesus. He exposed their dark and hypocritical hearts. He came teaching that God was about love and about the heart. They were concerned with externals and appearing pius before others. He came to show the Father heart of God. They wanted to keep people in fear with the errant notion that God is an angry task-master.
