Why are these people so afraid to show what happened 2000 years ago? The Jews have to own up to some responsibility.

Wiki sayeth:
The reconquest of Spain from the Moors resulted in a relatively peaceful multi-religious society, but violent anti-Judaism ensued and Jews converted en masse to the Catholic faith. Some of these conversos were suspected of not being sincere converts and the Alhambra Decree in 1492 ordered all Jews to leave their kingdoms, making about 40,000 Jews leave. Excellent point, #238509.
Jesus was a Jew, and it was the Romans who crucified Christ. Also, no Jew alive today had any part in any of this. And according to Christian doctrine, as I understand it, everyone throughout all history is responsible for the death of Jesus.
Uh... to the extent that "The Jews" were responsible for anything, it was their government's fault alone, selling out someone they considered an annoying nobody to the Romans to keep Pilate (a notoriously brutal governor) from dropping the hammer on them. (If he was so important, why did it take twenty years after his death for the first documents mentioning him to be available?)
tho, if they didn't kill Jesus (and likewise if Judas didn't betray him), your entire faith would not exist because he would never have 'died for our sins'. the biblical hebrews were simply fulfilling their purpose. your own bible says that. and the Pope actually agrees with this, seeing as he issued an official statement removing the Jewish faith from all responsibility in the death of Jesus.
get your damn facts right.
and sheet, that's right. it was the Romans who killed Jesus. once again, get your damned facts right.
Look at it this way:
If your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather murdered somebody, shouldn't YOU take responsibility?
Idiot!
