Excuse me, but I'd say we have a right to be offended by the former.  A GROUP
of Jewish leaders may have had a stake in sentencing and later executing
Jesus, but that does NOT make "the Jews" (as a people) responsible.  Such
a notion that a whole group must be tarred for the action of a subset of its
members is abominable.

End of speech.
