New World Encyclopedia on the Demonization of the Jews
DEMONIC: Jews were portrayed as possessing the attributes of the Devil, the personification of evil. They were depicted with horns, tails, the beard of a goat…… “Christian anti–Semitism stemmed largely from the conception of the Jew as the demonic agent of Satan.”A Despite {according to the New Testament] witnessing Jesus and his miracles and seen the prophecies fulfilled they rejected him. They [the Jews] were accused of knowing the truth of Christianity, because they knew the Old Testament prophecies, but still rejecting it. Thus they appeared to be scarcely human.
