Don't you think this translation would be more apt given WWG1WGA ?
"For brethren, ye are become followers of the Churches of God, which in Judea are in Christ Jesus, because ye have also suffered the same things of your own country men, even as they have of the Jews,
"Who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own Prophets, and have persecuted us away, [e]and God they please not, and are contrary to all men, --1 Thessalonians 2:14-15 -- 1599 Geneva Bible
I answer your question with a no based on the comparative meaning of the text italicized in your reply.
Christians posit an argument contrary to zionism, Jewish supremacy, et cetera through peaceful discourse. Israelis express hostility toward Christians by spitting on them.
A counterargument in words to an ideology has nothing in common with persecution just short of violence.

"contrary" ≠ "hostile"
Well put .
