cantoresq,
You aren’t interested because you fear the truth you have heard. You are naive for denying that sometimes anti-semitism IS caused by certain actions committed by certain Jews.
To finish your foolish sentence lets change the person:
“Moreover, such sanguine protestations of faith didn’t stop the” Romans from piercing the taneh Rabbe Akiva’s body. “The extreme’s of” Rabbe Akiva’s “faith led to his unnecessary death.”
to help you understand what extreme foolishness you said.

Oh Joseph I’m very aware that Jews sometimes cause anti-Semitism. I live in Monsey and I see it all the time. And your attempt to substitute R. akiva with R. Elchanan Wasserman in my statements is wrong on two accounts. First of all, R. Akiva was very much in facvor of armed revolt against the Romans. He supported the Bar Kokhba rebellion, calling him the Mashiach. R. Elchanan choose martyrdom and did not resist it at all. Secondly, as opposed to R. Akiva, R. Elchanan Wasserman had opportunities to escape Europe and chose not to, preferring to die a martyr than emmigrate to America, which he considered treif. That was his choice, but he went further and advised others to choose the same fate. I will never be able to understand and thereby condone how he could ever have told people to die rather than live. I know of no historical reference that R. Akiva ever acted similarly.
