Next time Massimo D'Alema stops by to pontificate about our relations with Hamas, -- arrest him for deicide. Even without the polls -- and who knows how the pollsters got their numbers? -- my family is NOT returning to Poland. The Romans killed a lot of Jews at that time, and Jesus was one of them.

That’s kind of like saying “the Italians killed Vercingetorix”. Also, since the death and resurrection of Jesus is a necessary component of my faith, an argument can be made that the leaders of that time were merely fulfilling a role pre-ordained by God, and thus have limited personal culpability. I do know that the many Christian churches I’ve attended in the US have made no claim to any general culpability of the Jews. It may be different in Europe.
