I think you are correct to question this fellow, Sister Handmaiden.
Let's remember the Bible, Old Testament and New, are God's words. Every one of them. The Old Testament gives us rules to follow, what to eat, what to wear and so on. And then it explains the consequences of sin. We learn God downed all the sinners. God would be angry if we just ignored what he took the trouble to write.
This fellow worries Jews have too much power. The fact is, they have no power over us because they killed Jesus. All we have to done is point this out.
A better way to handle Jews is this. Every time a Jew tries to charge you too much, just shout, "You killed Jesus. Do you want to go to jail?"
This works for me.
