You are not going to convince me on this. I don't like anti-Jewish bigotry any more than I like any other kind, and it is no worse and no better than any other kind. Bigotry is bigotry, and it is all bad.

(and it's all too common to be bigoted, I know that - we are all disposed to some sort of bigotry, since it's an easy shortcut to using nuanced thinking. SI tended to make me feel a bit bigoted toward people of certain political persuasions- but I've managed to try to think very carefully about such things, and have a much more nuanced view of the whole thing now. )

Anti-Judaism is mainly an American fantasy

Not so. Many holy Fathers of the Church have written treatises against Judaism and the Jews over nearly the last 2,000 years. All Christians ought to oppose current expressions of Judaism because they are antichrist and all of them set themselves in opposition to Christ and His Holy Church.

Christianity in Europe is much more of a culture, a moral attitude than a religion.

Precisely why it is not Christianity you are describing, but apostasy from Christianity. I trust you can recognize the difference.
