With respect, Christians (of which I am one) do not espouse an eye-for-an-eye mentality. IMO Jews are still stuck in an Old Testament mentality and have mainly rejected Jesus (although I understand that there are an increasing number of Jewish Christians) hence I am not surprised that they still have that sense of revenge in their make-up. Sadly we get the world we deserve and it is heartbreaking to see the effect, especially on innocent children.
