From Dr. Jones' "The Jewish Evolutionary Spirit..." an excerpt from Poland's Augustine Cardinal Hlond's 1936 Pastoral on Morals pertaining to his wise advice on dealing with the Messias-Deniers:
So long as Jews remain Jews, a Jewish problem exists and will continue to exist. This question varies in intensity and degree from country to country. It is especially difficult in our country, and ought to be the object of serious consideration. I shall touch briefly here on its moral aspects in connection with the situation today.
It is a fact that Jews are waging war against the Catholic Church, that they are steeped in free-thinking and constitute the vanguard of atheism, the Bolshevik movement, and revolutionary activity. It is a fact that Jews have a corruptive influence on morals, and that their publishing houses are spreading pornography. It is true that Jews are perpetrating fraud, practicing usury, and dealing in prostitution. It is true that, from a religious and ethical point of view, Jewish youth are having a negative influence on the Catholic youth in our schools. But let us be fair. Not all Jews are this way. There are very many Jews who are believers, honest, just, kind, and philanthropic. There is a healthy, edifying sense of family in very many Jewish homes. We know Jews who are ethically outstanding, noble, and upright.
I warn against that moral stance, imported from abroad [he is clearly thinking of Germany] that is basically and ruthlessly anti-Jewish. It is contrary to Catholic ethics. One may love one's own nation more, but one may not hate anyone. Not even Jews. It is good to prefer your own kind when shopping, to avoid Jewish stores and Jewish stalls in the marketplace, but it is forbidden to demolish a Jewish store, damage their merchandise, break windows, or throw things at their homes. One should stay away from the harmful moral influence of Jews, keep away from their anti-Christian culture, and especially boycott the Jewish press and demoralizing Jewish publications. But it is forbidden to assault, beat up, maim, or slander Jews. One should honor Jews as human beings and neighbors, even though we do not honor the indescribable tragedy of that nation, which was the guardian ofthe idea ofthe Messiah and from which was born the Savior. When divine mercy enlightens a Jew to sincerely accept his and our Messiah, let us greet him into our Christian ranks with joy.
Beware of those who are inciting anti-Jewish violence. They are serving a bad cause. Do you know who is giving the orders? Do you know who is intent on these riots? No good comes from these rash actions. And it is Polish blood that is sometimes being shed at them.'!
One could do a search for this Pastoral online and not find it but one would find many pieces denouncing it for its putative anti semitism.

Of course it is impossible to imagine a Cardinal delivering such wise and prudent advice today for fear of the Jews is ever ancient ever new.
The Catholic Hierarchy has a grave fear of offending the Jews to the point where it will not proclaim the Gospel and to call for their conversion because they would be accused of anti semitism.
The truth that the Jews who do not accept Jesus as Messias have, by their action, chosen eternity in Hell for themselves is of little concern for modern Popes, Prelates, and Priests.
But, it is so easy for any Pope and Prelate to avoid that malign and meaningless (but meaningful) charge (it is never defined) of anti semitism by simple citing the teaching from the great Roman Catechism:

Reasons Why Christ Suffered
The reasons why the Saviour suffered are also to be explained, that thus the greatness and intensity of the divine love towards us may the more fully appear. Should anyone inquire why the Son of God underwent His most bitter Passion, he will find that besides the guilt inherited from our first parents the principal causes were the vice's and crimes which have been perpetrated from the beginning of the world to the present day and those which will be committed to the end of time.
In His Passion and death the Son of God, our Saviour, intended to atone for and blot out the sins of all ages, to offer for them to his Father a full and abundant satisfaction.
Besides, to increase the dignity of this mystery, Christ not only suffered for sinners, but even for those who were the very authors and ministers of all the torments He endured. Of this the Apostle reminds us in these words addressed to the Hebrews: Think diligently upon him that endured such opposition from sinners against himself; that you be not wearied, fainting in your minds. In this guilt are involved all those who fall frequently into sin; for, as our sins consigned Christ the Lord to the death of the cross, most certainly those who wallow in sin and iniquity crucify to themselves again the Son of God, as far as in them lies, and make a mockery of Him.
This guilt seems more enormous in us than in the Jews, since according to the testimony of the same Apostle: If they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory; while we, on the contrary, professing to know Him, yet denying Him by our actions, seem in some sort to lay violent hands on him.

A few observations by Joe Sobran seem in order here;
Talking about American politics without mentioning
the Jews is a little like talking about the NBA without
mentioning the Chicago Bulls. Not that the Jews are
all-powerful, let alone all bad. But they are
successful, and therefore powerful enough: and
their power is unique in being off-limits to normal
criticism even when it’s highly visible. They
themselves behave as if their success were a
guilty secret, and they panic, and resort
to accusations, as soon as the subject is
raised. Jewish control of the major media in
the media age makes the enforced silence both
paradoxical and paralyzing. Survival in public
life requires that you know all about it, but
never refer to it. A hypocritical etiquette forces
us to pretend that the Jews are powerless
victims; and if you don’t respect their
victimhood, they’ll destroy you. It’s a
phenomenal display not of wickedness, really,
but of fierce ethnocentrism, a sort of furtive racial superpatriotism..
