It's time Jews "own" Christ's Crucifixion.
In private, they boast of it.
The essence of Judaism is
replacing God with the Jewish leadership.
The Chosen People do not believe in God.
Michael Hoffman: "To assert that the Romans bear the principal share of responsibility for the death of Jesus is a contrived argument motivated by a desire to serve and appease rabbinic and Zionist power on earth. What is there to debate after 1 Thessalonians 2:14-15? "...the Jews Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men."

Blaming the Romans for Christ's Crucifixion
(Abridged by henrymakow.com)
In our time of nearly universal apostasy the churches have taken to blaming the Roman authorities for the death of Christ on the Cross while exculpating the Pharisees.

Napolitano wrote: "On the first Good Friday, the Romans executed Jesus because they were persuaded that by claiming to be the Son of God, He might foment a revolution against them...they feared a revolution that would disrupt their worldly power, and so they condemned Him to death by crucifixion." (Jews are not mentioned anywhere in Mr. Napolitano's column, which was published online by Lew Rockwell on April 17, 2014).
Bill O'Reilly, in his book The Last Days of Jesus: His Life and Times A Special Illustrated Edition of Killing Jesus (Henry Holt: 2014), states: "...the responsibility belongs to Pilate" (p. 221). As part of O'Reilly's blame-game he falsely writes: "Only the Roman governor possesses the ius gladii -- the right of the sword. Or as it is known, the right to execute" (p. 221).
Really? Then who killed St. Stephen, Mr. O'Reilly? The Pharisee text Mishnah, in tractate Sanhedrin, gives a variety of types of executions to be carried out by the Sanhedrin. It is true that the Jews could not crucify anyone in Roman territory, but they could execute by stoning, as they did to Stephen. Note that Stephen was stoned after a council of the Sanhedrin had met (Acts 7:54-59).
I remember sitting through a Holy Week sermon by a talented Jesuit homilist who, like the s
