But bear in mind that the nasty little POS knew it was a major insult to Jews, and even at age six, he knew I was one of the “bad ones.”Catholic teaching is that Jesus willingly laid down his life for all. He also took it up again.
As you note, it is a hateful thing to say, and likely he got it from another hater. Could be he heard someone else say it, noted the shock value it had among others, and passed it on to you. Could be an ignorant parent or relative said it in passing and he picked up on it. Since he repeated it to you, I tend to go with the first theory. He wanted to hurt and how said is it that people learn to be abusive as young as six.
In my childhood experience, the worst antisemites were those who went to Catholic School, and that continued all through my teen years.
