I don't know any Christian that is afraid to say that...
Remember... Jesus didn't stay dead... He came back to life... so it doesn't really matter who killed him...

Such a statement is implicatory, both for the Jews and for the Christians: What makes you so certain that the Jews killed Christ? The history (or theology) you commonly find is never the correct history. It has been manipulated by generations of powerful people who could get hurt by the history, or could gain some leverage from manipulating it in a particular way.
For example,
Simple question: Why do we celebrate Christmas?
Simple answer: To commemorate the Birth of christ
Simple contradiction: But christ was born in Spring!!!
Well, look deeper for an answer to this one ;-)
Meanwhile, the world does not work on a WYSIWYG: It is often a combination of mirages and lies that have become so popular that the truth has been lost. In the words of a Poet "...The clear stream of reason has lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit..."
Besides, I dont think anything can justify the indictment of jews to avenge something that (even if it did) happened ~2000 years ago. I believe we need to forget the history, remember its lessons and move on with the happily progressive lives that we seem to be leading. Anyways, in the past few decades of my experiences with people of diverse religions, the people who actually follow their relligion by its principles seem to be far fewer than those who simply use it to propogate hatred and anarchy. There is a need to develop our own scientific tempers, to question and reason with whatever we are being taught, to "Filter it through greater light of wisdom, rather than the dark corruptions of prejudice"

For the 1000th time, the Jews did not kill Jesus. The crucifixion of Jesus was foretold in prophesy. Read Isaiah chapter 53. The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus was planned before the foundation of the world. The Old testament is the preparation ground for the New Testament. Everything that has happened has been according to God's plan since before the beginning of the universe. If you read the gospel accounts you will clearly see that Christ foretold his own death, burial and resurrection, and PLEASE do not tell me that it was a set up. That is blaspheming the Holy Spirit by calling God a liar. The Jew were merely falling into line with what God had put into motion from before the foundation of the world. Anyone who insists that Jews are Christ killers is antisemitic and in danger of hellfire. God will not hold guiltless anyone who attacks the Jews.

Because certain Zionist Jews have weaseled their way into positions of power from which they can intimidate people by using the courts and legal system to forcibly remove their right to free speech.
Orthodox, non-Zionist Jews would readily agree that the Sanhedrin Jewish council forced trumped up charges against Christ and his trial was full of illegalities in both Roman and Jewish/Talmudic law.
Summarily, Jews want to be placed beyond any form of scrutiny or criticism that every other race and religion on Earth is subjected to.
Why won't they allow any critical evaluation of the Holocaust- but we everywhere we can debate the existence of God?

Why should anyone be afraid? Jesus was a Jew and the Jews accused him of blasphemy that's why he was put on trial at the Roman Court.
Do we hate the Jews for this? No! Because the prophecy of the OT had to be fulfilled. Would we be saved if he got free? No. It was all in Gods plan. It was His will and no one has any "fault"

Jews are not a race! They are people with the religion of Judaism.
some Jews killed him yes, but saying (the Jews) killed him means one thing: racism.
By the way: Jesus was not Jewish and the Romans didn't kill him!! Anyone who says that would be wrong in a sad way!

It was Jewish law that heretics should be put to death, which Jesus was in the eyes of many Jews, however it is a fact that the Jews did not have the authority to execute anyone at the time he was killed.

Historically we know this is a fact. Obviously Jews played there part for mine and your salvation. Had it not been the case, Jesus would just be a false prophet. Had he not died, he would not be the Savior. Without the help of the Jews we all would be lost. We christians are all thankful for their role. The act of killing Jesus has allowed all to eventually see the Glory of God.

The Romans killed him, unless I'm mistaken. Well, okay the Jews did it, but it didn't have to be that way; Jesus could have been a little more diplomatic, and things would have worked out.
I suspect Jesus planned the whole thing. He knew all their buttons, and he wanted to be a martyr.
Now look, he's the God of all Bible people.

Because they didn't, then who killed Jesus? All of us. In that day all the descendant of Noah's sons were at the Crucifixion. There was the Romans the descendants of Josef, the Jews the descendant of Shem and the descendant of Ham, that was the man who helped Jesus to carry the cross to Golgotha. You see was all of us.

Never heard that 1; I've heard Jews afraid to admit they killed Jesus
