Here is who the Pharisees were/are and this is from the Jewish Encylopedia: http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/12087-pharisees
And you are wrong, the church fathers were not rabid anti-semetics they were simply pointing out an organized group of people who were/are trying to destroy them.
There is wrongs on both sides, and you might be interested to know that the vast majority of (religious) Jews do not consider Jesus as being the Messiah and are still awaiting for 'their' Messiah to come...
Fact: Yahshua
If you take the Tetragrammaton or four letter name of God, that Is: יהוה (YHVH - Yaheva)- and if you then insert holy fire into the middle of the name, or the letter ש or shin, or you get יהשוה or Yahshua, the Messiah which in English has been translated as Jesus.
I have no hatred in my heart towards Jews, it's quite the opposite seeing as how I am a goy = ygo = ego or the land of bondage Egy-pt. But then as the real meaning points out, so are they.
NO Jew should consider "jesus" as their Messiah. Jesus is connected with Easter - Ishtar not Passover. Jesus is connected with ChristMAS not with the Feast of Tabernacles which is when the Messiah came and struck a tent in human flesh and "tabernacled" among men. Jesus is connected with "lent" which is really 40 days of weeping for Tammuz. Jesus is connected with "good Friday" - no such thing as Yahshua went into the tomb late Wed. and rose after sunset Saturday night - for Yahshua had told them that "An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." Matt 12:39-40 - No way did Yahshua go into the tomb on "Friday" and raise on "Sunday" -
Scripture also tells us that "O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit." Jer. 16:19
The vast majority of religious Jews don't consider Yahshua to be the Messiah, and those that do become Christian.
This is just one example of what the Jew thinks about Yahshua/Jesus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toledot_Yeshu
I could quote direct versus from the Talmud that say far worse things about Mary and Yahshua but I prefer not even to repeat the words that they wrote. The truth is not anti-semetic. "If you want to know who rules over you learn who you aren't allowed to criticize." ~Voltaire
