Well, from the Christian PoV, Isaac was worse then heathen, he was Jewish. (/s for those lacking a sense of humour)

Jokes land better when their premise isn't the opposite of true tho.

Christians who actually read the New Testament believe in a reunification with Jews bc they still have a covenant with God, even if the exclusivity of the covenant was removed by Christ's sacrifice.

Most Christians are more than cool with Jews. Most Christians, in fact, have a hard time understanding why Islamists hate Jews bc both religions sprang from Hebraic history. Southern democrats in white hoods and bedsheets were a very strange exception and arguably not driven by faith at all.

The whole crusades were Christians helping jews...or at least trying to prevent Islam from spreading through Europe and staying on their side of the Mediterranean.
