1 Thessalonians 2:14 - 15*
14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they [have] of the Jews:
15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:


Who are the prophets that the collective Jews killed?
Why are Jews contrary to all men?
This bigoted crap is being fed to Children. Is this God’s word?

I think Paul was talking about the Jewish prophets from the Hebrew Bible and probably those Jewish prophets whose words never made it into the Hebrew Bible. I think there is a saying in one of the canonical Gospels where Jesus basically states this same thing.

Is this Paul's word, or the insertion of a later editor? Is there any scholarly consensus or range of opinion on that?
