Question

some christians have believed that jews are deserving of persecution because they are _______________ who do not accept jesus as the messiah and will suffer eternal damnation in hell anyway.
porgroms
shtetls
infidels
gentiles

Explanation:

"Infidels" is a term historically used to describe those who do not adhere to a particular religion. In the context of some Christian - Jewish relations, some Christians have wrongly labeled Jews as infidels for not accepting Jesus as the Messiah. "Porgroms" are violent anti - Jewish riots. "Shtetls" are small Jewish towns or villages. "Gentiles" are non - Jews in a general sense, but not used in the derogatory sense of "infidels" in this context.

Answer:

C. infidels
