In the 1st century, “the Jews” (not “some Jews”) murdered Jesus. But although the people cried, “His blood be on us and our children,” Christianity rejects generational guilt, and those people had no authority to bring such a curse down upon their descendants. The Passion, and stories like Peter’s denial, illustrate the demonic pull of the mob, and how it can turn ardent believers into apostates and killers. The lesson of Peter’s failure - Petros, the Rock, who had just drawn his sword in an outnumbered fight to defend Jesus - is not that he was uniquely weak or uncommitted, but that if *even* Peter could be cowed by the mob, then so would any of us, Jew or Gentile, without the help of the Holy Spirit. I am a Christian, and so I believe the 1st century Jews missed the boat when God sent His Messiah, but it is immoral and un-Christian to hold our contemporary Jews responsible for the crime of their ancestors - a truth which we had all better hope holds up when our own hour of judgment comes.
The Sanhedrin conspired and executed the arrest and murder of Jesus of Nazareth. Given the choice to free either a murderer or Jesus, the Jewish people of Jerusalem voted to release Barabas. What man meant for evil, God meant for good.
Of course Tucker Carlson uses the opportunity at Charlie Kirk's funeral to mention (falsely) that the Jews killed Jesus, followed by his signature hyena laugh.
How pathetic. No place is too sacred for him and his Qatari funded antisemitism.
Screw him.
Completely punting on an offensive line while your franchise QB is under his rookie deal is INSANE. Fire them all, and move the team to another crap Tennessee town.
Pro-Israel Republican donors, including Paul Singer and Dan Paulson, along with Jewish organizations such as the AJC and AIPAC, are attempting to oust Rep. Thomas Massie in the upcoming election.
They have funneled $2 million to MAGA Kentucky, a Trump-aligned super PAC, to defeat Massie in the 2026 primary and are running attack ads against him.
