Question by Doris: Why do people shout out “Anti-Semitic!” when someone says the Jews killed Jesus?
Now I’m an Atheist and when I read the Gospels, they tell me that Jesus was technically killed by the Jews (the Pharisees and the crowd – they wanted him dead). Now I’m sure that this didn’t historically happen, but if you follow the book, it’s certain that the Jews wanted him dead and that Pilate “washed his hands” and found nothing wrong with Jesus.

The Romans (the soldiers) just nailed him to the cross, it was their JOB to do so. I don’t think they were passionate about it and that they took it personally, like the Crowds and the Pharisees.

So how is it anti-Semitic to say Jesus was killed the Jews when the bible says so?
