This blows my mind completely. I know a woman who adamantly believes that Jesus literally ceased to be a Jew at some point, and who blames all Jews, everywhere, then and now, for his execution.

I know that blame for the murder of Christ is part of the psychology of Christian anti-semitism, but having a person actually express the belief that every Jew ever born in history is personally responsible for nailing him on the cross...it's mind-blogging.

She's an extremely devout woman, but when I tried to discuss the matter with her once, pointing out that Christ's mother, relatives, and closest disciples were all Jews, all I got was a blank expression.
