"Love your neighbour as yourself" and "Love your enemies" alone are enough for any true follower of Jesus NOT to commit any of those atrocities against the Jews just as "Do not touch My anointed ones, and do not harm My prophets"(1CH.16:22 JPT) should have been enough to make anyone (who fear God) treat any prophet like an eggshell.
Therefore there's no guarantee any of the phrases proposed for Jesus would have worked.

And while we're on this clarification, the millions of Jews that were butchered, hacked to bits, burned alive in locked halls or synagogues, tortured, brutalized, raped, pillaged, exiled, forcibly converted, victims of libels and pogroms and eventually exterminated in en mass were done in the name of JEESUS, NOT HaShem (dear G-d, how on earth could you say such a thing!). These perpetrators were people who truly were xian (even the Nazis felt they were ridding the Jews for bringing as Hitler put it, "the scourge of conscience" upon the world. He echoed the sentiments of the Church as well as Luther!). You can't hair split at this point and project YOUR criteria of what a xian is back on those who saw themselves as more devout than you may be. Now to be fair, Popes and bishops did try to intervene to prevent such pogroms, but this was NOT out of their love of the Jews as much as it would be the economic loss they would experience at the Jews' death.
