Unification of Christianity and Judaism or the End of the World
Judaism is primarily the religion for Jewish people. Judaism has been supported by Jewish people as it would give peace and prosperity to them. Judaism never encourages Jewish people to pray to the God for peace and prosperity of other tribes and nations.
On the other hand, Christianity has been based on the teaching of Christ Jesus to love one's brothers, neighbors, and even enemies, including all the people in the world. Therefore Christianity basically encourages its believers to love Jewish people, although its Bible can be read as blaming Jewish people and Jewish authority of 2000 years ago for the crucifixion of Christ Jesus.
However, Judaism has taught Jewish people that Christ Jesus was a failed rabbi and not the Son of the God, the messiah, or a great Jewish prophet.
This difference in their attitudes to the other rival religion is stark. Judaism fundamentally regards Christianity as a false religion based on a man who was a so-called false god. Christianity regards Judaism as its preceding religion to which Christ Jesus belonged.
In this context, it can be understood why the Holocaust in WWII occurred. Since the crucifixion of Christ Jesus, Judaism had denied divineness of Christianity for 1900 years till WWII where millions of Jewish people were killed by Nazis and Hitler that belonged to the European Christian culture. After the tragedy in WWII, Judaism seems to have stopped loudly and openly criticizing and denying Christianity and Christ Jesus, although it has never admits that Christ Jesus was a holy and sacred man.
How can true believers of Judaism and Christianity stand this situation? How can Jewish people stand the world where Christians in Europe and America are dominant, leading the world civilization. How can Christians accept Jewish people who follow the religion where Christ Jesus is called only a failed rabbi?

John 12 King James Version
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
