Pretending for a moment that I believe that the Bible contains any history (I don't), I understand that the Jews killed Christ.
So, anti-semites do realize that it wasn't THESE Jews, right?
I mean, it was Jews from 20 centuries ago.
You do realize this, don't you?

people hate what they don't or can never understand. Much like Americans and MUslims. We (americans) grew up in a supremely christian world and do not understand others. we are afraid of them because they are different.

"the Bible contains any history (I don't)" - are you aware of a science called 'archeology?' With very few exceptions the major historical events and places of the Bible are confirmed. The anomalies are of course the question of the Philistines in the Pentateuch as well as the camel. But, overwhelmingly the Bible is an historical document.
But, it is good that you should share your bizarre opinions with us so we know how seriously to take you.
Regarding the Jews: the only good thing to come out of Vatican II is the document regarding them. As with the history of the Bible you are equally uninformed on this matter. Perhaps try 'research.'

You make a good point, but I think we need to remind ourselves that Jesus and his followers were Jewish, and that only a small number of Jews wanted Jesus to be killed.
In addition, it was the Romans who actually killed him (maybe we should hate Italians instead? ;) )
Jesus knew He would die; he was challenging the most powerful religious and political authorities of his time in a dramatic way. The fact that some use His death as an excuse to be hateful against Jews is just ridiculous.
Peace.

I don't see any reason to blame the Jews. The Jewish leaders arrested Him, the Romans sentenced Him knowing that He was innocent, Christ's own disciple betrayed Him, Christ didn't defend Himself, and God turned His face away from His Son. This was the plan of God, and the Jews didn't make it or break it.
So no, don't blame the Jews.

It's the same thing with African Americans (being politically correct) still holding it over every ones heads about being slaves. Get over it, everyone who could have ever owned a slave is long gone and in the ground where they belong.

When Pontius Pilate washed his hands, announcing that he saw no wrong in Jesus and rejecting any responsibility for his death, the Jewish crowd is said to have cried out, "Let his blood be upon us and upon our children."
Christianoids have never forgotten this.
Unfortunately, what they have forgotten is the teaching of their professed faith that the blood of Christ cleanses from all sins.
Guess the joke's on them, huh?

Anyone with sense does.
Unfortunately, the Jewish people have many enemies based in antiquity and religious infighting. Its amazingly stupid and has nothing to do with Jews alive today.

No, as far as I can tell, they believe it to be these very Jews who walk the planet now.
Crucifying Jesus seems to have done wonders for their health...

Jesus said, No one takes my life but I lay it down, and have the power to take it back up again.
He also chose to lay down His life for each and every one of us. We all killed Jesus. Including you and me.
