We admit that even if we do not have a strong leader in government, we do have a Jesus, the strong leader of our church. Never mind if Jesus was born a Jew in Israel some 2,000 years ago. Never mind if Israel is not a Christian country as it is a Jewish State. And to think that this is the same Jesus who admonished: “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not with him.” John 2:15.
Think of it: as Christians, if the bible tells us to love not the world, why then should we love the Philippines? More to the point: if we do not love our country, why should we love one another? And as we all struggle against each other in order to exist, we might just as well love God up there and hate one another down here! Poch Suzara

Filipinos are actually taught to be anti-semites by no less than the Catholic Church.
I have never gave it much thought until I read Holy Blood Holy Grail which said that antisemitism was a creation of the Catholic Church.
My mother and a few others who are religious and 40 years above have encountered the term Hudyo which is meant to denounce or alienate people who don't go to mass.
Hudyo translates into Jew... Now Jews don't really go mass, however, the intent and emotion behind the name calling is clear. It was meant as an insult.
Sad that it came from a group who worships a God who says to love your neighbor.
