For more information on what Nietzsche thought about Jews and anti-Semitism, the book to read is his 'The Anti-Christ,' part one of 'Revaluation.' While Nietzsche deeply loves the Old Testament, he thinks that the New Testament is about 'the people at the bottom, the outcasts and 'sinners,' the chandalas within Judaism.' He attacks Christian anti-Semites by saying that it is not Moses and the prophets who represent the worst type of Jew, but rather Jesus and Paul. It is the early Jewish-Christians of the New Testament who possess all the qualities which Jews are hated for. While Nietzche's hatred of anti-Semitism is to be commended, its foundation on a hatred of Christianity is equally to be condemned.
