As for your quote, there is nothing "antisemitic" about it. I am actually familiar with the passage. First, it cites both the Jews AND the Christian as "wrong doing people." Second, you will be hard pressed to find a holy book of any religion that does not contain a proscription about falling in with, or being tempted by, or even taking up arms against, all those who lie outside the faith and are considered "wrong doers." Though Christianity is somewhat unique in lacking a "call to arms" in the NT, Christianity has also taken up arms against those of other faiths through its history. Judaism, for centuries, held it to be forbidden to engage with those outside the faith.
