Jewry is the mother of Christianity

“By the Gods! It is not my will that all Christians should be killed and mistreated. But I find this is preferable and hereby command it: That all who have remained true on the faith of the fathers should be given preference. Christianity is able neither to educate statesmen nor impart manly courage or patriotic disposition - it is just as little in the position for it as its mother, Jewry! Show me a field commander like Alexander or a Caesar among the Jews; let alone then among the Christians!”

— Emperor Julian the Faithful
