Re: Question from BBC

I used to live in Montpelier, Vermont. In their historical society building, 
there is a library and manuscripts. I found a hand-written song-lyric 
collection, a tremendous song-collector's resource which included many known 
and also obscure ballads. One notably called Miriam cruel for doing brit milah 
on her son Yeshua (it used their English names, of course). There was other 
Jew-hating material as well.

Of course, on need look no farther than Shakespeare (though I would suggest his 
motive was more for popular entertainment than personal hatred).
