So the Son is compassionate and the Father is not? Try telling that to the money changers Christ drove out with a whip from the temple. 😛 I think depends on ones perspective as to who is compassionate and who is not.

Look, I'm a compassionate person, too, but if a bunch of greedy Jews set up shop in my house, you can bet that I'd start whipping some ass as well.

do you think its a positive thing that the greedy people are labelled as jews? does it not help to continue the anti semitic tradition?
