It wasn't THE Jews, it was SOME Jews. Actually, it was some Jews two thousand years ago. How can any stupid Christian or Jew think that is a reason for us today to hate each other. The children are responseble for their own conduct, and not for the conduct of their great great great great great grand parent. As a Christian, if my great great great grand parent were Jews, now do I hate my self brcause of that?

Actually, it was some Jews two thousand years ago.That's what I meant. The person, in the article, saying "the Jews" makes it sound as if every single Jew living back then was taking part in it, which was not the case. If those persons, claiming there are anti-Semitic themes in Mel's movie, had never voiced those claims, I would never had dreamed that the subject would be brought up. To blame the entire Jewish race for the Crucifixion is just as ridiculous as blaming all white people for slavery.

(Is it really so difficult to post the entire article?)
