i thought...the Romans killed Jesus. or do i not know anything?

that i know, but i'm not sure i would be able to claim that it had anything with Judas being Jewish, just a snake. frankly its really illogical (very stupid to asks anti-semites to be logical but walk with me) to not like Jewish people but also hates Jewish people cause Jesus was very famously Jewish.

i'm probably not seeing it because dogwhistles like this are very foreign to me but i'm not here to tell anyone that it isn't anti-Semitic.

I never understood that either. I'm glad that I never ran into that mindset until I was older. But it made zero sense.
Like Jesus was Jewish so???

But antisemitism isn't logical

Dog whistles don't have to be factual

oh good point, it was pontius pilate right? forgot that prayer.

[ishumy]

Yes, but according to the Gospels, Pilate, as he did every year around Passover, offered to release a prisoner and when he gave the crowd (which was Jewish) the option to choose and they saved Barabbas instead. So the Christians get to be antisemitic either way.

thank you for letting me know. i typed out a whole rant about how this doesn't make any sense but i realize it doesn't matter.

[lirdianc]

Yeah my atheist ass was confused...I was just like, isn't Jesus Jewish? Aren't they both Jewish???

Google “Jewish deicide”.

I mean, I’m glad that you’ve never heard about Jews being blamed for Jesus’ death, but I have my whole life. In real life, jokes in movies, TV shows, have referred to it, too. It’s a well known “myth”, “ conspiracy theory”, whatever you want to call it.

Yeah, unfortunately, hate and bigotry is never logical or sensical.

*ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE***

Pontius Pilate was the Roman governor type guy and he allowed the local population of Judea to vote on which criminals would be crucified and which would be forgiven.
In the story, the locals voted to save a thief, Barabbas, instead of Jesus.
This became part of anti-Semitic lore as a reflection of their denial of Christ and betrayal of God.
