Judaism is to Christianity as the parent is to the child. Repression of this relationship accounts for the 'symptom' of anti-Semitism. An example of the neurotic mechanisms at play is seen in the statement, 'The Jews killed Christ'. This is a return of the actual (repressed) relationship of the Jews and Jesus and its reversal. Jesus' rebellion against his elders is equivalent to a child's attempts to displace the parent. Fantasies of parental omnipotence are present in the anti-Semite's statement of Jewish power and evil. Childhood sexual conflicts are revealed in the images of the sinful potent parent (Jew) or the (castrated) circumcised Jew. Jewish recognition of this unconscious Oedipal revolt is seen in two prohibitions; that of mentioning Christ's name in a house of worship, and intermarriage.
