"...and, conveniently, the Romans wrote the Bible, or rewrote it, to lay the blame on the Jews. Jews had supposedly rejoiced when the Romans gave up a thief and crucified Jesus instead...they even quote the Romans as saying "may his death be on us and our children forever", or words to that effect. In other words the Jews WELCOMED whatever treatment Christians would dole out to them over the next 1000 years, they literally ASKED for it."




-- This is from an article Uri Avnery wrote a few months ago. In it he argues against the myth of direct Jewish complicity in the crucifixion in the Jesus story.



"My own preferred theory is religious. All over Europe, and now also in the Americas, Christian children in their formative years hear the stories of the New Testament. They learn that a Jewish mob was shouting for the blood of Jesus, the gentle and mild preacher, while the Roman prefect, Pontius Pilatus, was desperately trying to save his life. The Roman is depicted as a humane, likeable person, while the Jews are seen as a vile, despicable mob.

This story cannot be true. Roman rulers all over the Empire used to crucify potential troublemakers. The behavior of the Jewish authorities in the story does not conform to Jewish law. But the New Testament story, written long after the death of Jesus (whose real Hebrew name was Jeshua), was aimed at the Roman audience the Christians were trying to convert, in hot competition with the Jewish missionaries.

Also, the early Christians were a small, persecuted sect in Jewish Jerusalem, and their grudge lives on to this very day.

The picture of the evil Jews crying out for the death of Jesus is unconsciously imprinted in the minds of the Christian multitudes and has inspired Jew-hatred in every new generation. The results were slaughter, mass-expulsions, inquisition, persecution in every form, pogroms, and finally the Holocaust.

There has never been anything like this in Muslim history."
