Has Israel or the Jews ever apologized for killing Jesus?

Question

I got this from South Park.
The USA apologize to Blacks for Slavery
Germany apologized for World War II and the Holocaust
The Catholic Church apologized for the many crimes and wrong doing they have committed.
Has Israel/The Jews apologized to the Christians for killing Jesus?

Answer 1

I don't think so.!

Answer 2

That is absolute lunacy. Todays Jews (the nation of Israel) had NOTHING to do with the death of Jesus. Considering Jesus forgave the Jews of his day and the gentiles - he said, "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do." He forgave them outright and asked God not to lay it to their charge.

The Bible also says that if we can not forgive - neither will we be forgiven.

In the end (which is still not the end, not yet anyway), Jesus was resurrected and is no longer dead. If you cling to the above question inspired by a stupid cartoon - then I must ask you - have you asked forgiveness or apologized for you and your family's role in Jesus death? GENTILES (Non Jews) did the actually crucifying because the Jews were forbidden capital punishment, a pleasure the Romans reserved for themselves.

Answer 3

No they never have repented for killing the Lord of Glory. Acts 2: 22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Because of this they have been blinded and now God is dealing with everybody alike. Romans 11: 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. Galatians 3: 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. They will not be forgiven until the Lord Jesus Christ come back to the earth and set up His kingdom. Romans 11: 27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

Answer 4

GobleyGook's answer looks maximum coreect: "They have been moneylenders. They nonetheless administration the banking gadget. Bernake, Greenspan, and a lot of others are Jewish. they're approximately 2% Jews interior the U. S., yet they're the biggest contributor to Politicians above the different specific pastime team. that's a huge reason we help Israel whilst the full area hates them. additionally they administration our media so as that they might feed us the message that they are the oppressed and not the oppressors!" specific, that's a daunting vogue ! An N.-American instructed me that interior the long-term their materialistic avarice will sooner or later lead them to downfall, by using fact maximum of them in basic terms care to develop themselves, lack compassion and are unwilling to foster wellness of the society wherein they stay! possibly that's actual?

Answer 5

Apologise to who? To Jesus? He said, "Forgive them for they know not what they do." To current day Christians? Well, if Jesus forgave them, who are we to demand an apology from them? Moreover, who should be doing the apology? Current day Jews who were NEVER part of what happened 2000 years ago? Personally I think the idea of collective apology is meaningless. One should apologise for the wrong that one has done, not what others has done. If the USA had condone black slavery in the past, they should make sure it does not happen in the present. What's past is past, we live in the present and make the future better than what it was.

Answer 6

Most of the events you list have happened within relatively
recent history - the exception being the Catholic apologies
which, in many cases are apologizing for things IN THEIR OWN
RECORDS.

That is, they can't really deny they happened.

As far as I know, there is no consensus whether or not Jesus
existed or not (sorry, but its true. You may want there to be
a consensus, but the majority of the world either doesn't know,
or doesn't care).

I am guessing that you're not going to get an apology for
an alleged event.

Answer 7

Jews are like vermin. They the personification of pure greed. Just do research oth them. They are all money hungry. They even joke about it themselves because it's true. They will never apologize. They feel that they are the chosen ones. They like to seperate themselves from others to be seem better. Hitler was smart, he wanted to eradicate these rats. In Germany we still have hate for them but most people hide it well.

Answer 8

It was the Romans urged by the Rabbi's and the followers of Barabbas, Also the reluctance of his apostles to come forth an testify. that lead to the Romans having Christ crucified . although the Emperor thought he was innocent and washed his hands of any blame for the actions of the Jewish people.
To many Jews he was not the the Mighty Warrior that they were expecting to deliver them from Roman rule.
So the answer is no.

Answer 9

I don't believe the Christians Hold the Jews responible for killing Jesus. It was the Romans who nailed him to that cross.

Answer 10

was puzzled for a long time about the odd belief which apparently persists in America that Palestine has somehow "always been a Jewish land." Recently an American I talked to cleared up this mystery. He pointed out that the only things most Americans know about Palestine are what they read in the Bible. It was a Jewish land in those days, they reason, and they assume it has always remained so.

Nothing could be farther from the truth. It is absurd to reach so far back into the mists of history to argue about who should have Palestine today, and I apologise for it. Yet the Jews do this, and I must reply to their "historic claim." I wonder if the world has ever seen a stranger sight than a group of people seriously pretending to claim a land because their ancestors lived there some 2,000 years ago!

If you suggest that I am biased, I invite you to read any sound history of the period and verify the facts.

Such fragmentary records as we have indicate that the Jews were wandering nomads from Iraq who moved to southern Turkey, came south to Palestine, stayed there a short time, and then passed to Egypt, where they remained about 400 years. About 1300 BC (according to your calendar) they left Egypt and gradually conquered most—but not all—of the inhabitants of Palestine.

It is significant that the Philistines—not the Jews—gave their name to the country: "Palestine" is merely the Greek form of "Philistia."

Only once, during the empire of David and Solomon, did the Jews ever control nearly—but not all—the land which is today Palestine. This empire lasted only 70 years, ending in 926 BC. Only 250 years later the Kingdom of Judah had shrunk to a small province around Jerusalem, barely a quarter of modern Palestine.

In 63 BC the Jews were conquered by Roman Pompey, and never again had even the vestige of independence. The Roman Emperor Hadrian finally wiped them out about 135 AD. He utterly destroyed Jerusalem, rebuilt under another name, and for hundreds of years no Jew was permitted to enter it. A handful of Jews remained in Palestine but the vast majority were killed or scattered to other countries, in the Diaspora, or the Great Dispersion. From that time Palestine ceased to be a Jewish country, in any conceivable sense.

This was 1,815 years ago, and yet the Jews solemnly pretend they still own Palestine! If such fantasy were allowed, how the map of the world would dance about!

Italians might claim England, which the Romans held so long. England might claim France, "homeland" of the conquering Normans. And the French Normans might claim Norway, where their ancestors originated. And incidentally, we Arabs might claim Spain, which we held for 700 years.

Many Mexicans might claim Spain, "homeland" of their forefathers. They might even claim Texas, which was Mexican until 100 years ago. And suppose the American Indians claimed the "homeland" of which they were the sole, native, and ancient occupants until only some 450 years ago!

I am not being facetious. All these claims are just as valid—or just as fantastic—as the Jewish "historic connection" with Palestine. Most are more valid.

In any event, the great Moslem expansion about 650 AD finally settled things. It dominated Palestine completely. From that day on, Palestine was solidly Arabic in population, language, and religion. When British armies entered the country during the last war, they found 500,000 Arabs and only 65,000 Jews.

If solid, uninterrupted Arab occupation for nearly 1,300 years does not make a country "Arab", what does?

The Jews say, and rightly, that Palestine is the home of their religion. It is likewise the birthplace of Christianity, but would any Christian nation claim it on that account? In passing, let me say that the Christian Arabs—and there are many hundreds of thousands of them in the Arab World—are in absolute agreement with all other Arabs in opposing the Zionist invasion of Palestine.

May I also point out that Jerusalem is, after Mecca and Medina, the holiest place in Islam. In fact, in the early days of our religion, Moslems prayed toward Jerusalem instead of Mecca.

The Jewish "religious claim" to Palestine is as absurd as the "historic claim." The Holy Places, sacred to three great religions, must be open to all, the monopoly of none. Let us not confuse religion and politics.

We are told that we are inhumane and heartless because do not accept with open arms the perhaps 200,000 Jews in Europe who suffered so frightfully under Nazi cruelty, and who even now—almost three years after war’s end—still languish in cold, depressing camps.

Answer 11

I do believe, that the Jews where asked whether they wanted Jesus to be executed or some other guy, Barabbas or something.

Have the Jews ever apologised? I don't know.

Seems some Christians don't know their Bible.
