A Jew is commanded to harm Christians wherever he can, both indirectly by not helping them in any way and also directly by wrecking their plans and projects; neither must he save a Christian who is in danger of death. In Zohar (1,25b) it says: "Those who do good to the Akum... will not rise from the dead." At times, it is permitted to do good to Christians, but only in order to help Israel, namely, for the sake of peace and to hide hatred of them. Maimonides in Hilkhoth Akum (X,6) says: "Needy Gentiles may be helped as well as needy Jews, for the sake of peace..." In Iore Dea (148,12 Hagah) it says: "Therefore if you enter a town and find them celebrating a feast, you may pretend to rejoice with them in order to hide your hatred. Those, however, who care about the salvation of their souls should keep away from such celebrations. You should make it known that it is a hateful thing to rejoice with them, if you can do so without incurring their enmity."
