But the philosemitism did not start with the Schofield Bible, that just fed it steroids. Dispensationalism didnt either, schofield just made it mainstream. It started with John Nelson Darby, a 19th century *british* priest. And I know the protestantism didn't start as a pro jewish current (luther hated jews more than possibly any other Christian leader there was). But the anglosphere was primed to become philosemitic because of the erroneous puritan belief that the jews would convert out of the goodness of their hearts.
Darby's teachings were the main influence for the Schofield Bible. Which spread throughout every other English speaking country by proxy.
America and every other country founded by white British colonists, as well as the motherland, were doomed to fall under jewish dominion because they were not aware enough. Or aware at all, really. The collective British people spent centuries having hardly any interaction with jews whatsoever, even when jews were permitted to live there for roughly 200 years after William the bastard. And we dont know what influence they had in norman/plantagenet leadership, but if it was notable i would not surprised. Most of them were elitist dickheads that should have been strung up. But I digress, the jews made little foray into English public life regardless.
The jews became a sort of mystical people that the British had no experience with and were not prepared to deal with properly. Notice how theres virtually no jewish type villain characters in british folklore unless its a borrowing from much later german folklore, as a for instance. The puritans opened the floodgates not even out of malice, but ignorance. The anglosphere has paid the consequences of this since then.
The Dutch though? Yeah I don't have an excuse for their acceptance of jews. I guess the short term huge financial gain of jewish dominated markets was enough to make them stop noticing.
