Two more points.

1. We Catholics worship Jesus (a Jew) as the second Person of the Holy Trinity, i.e. as G-d. If Williamson doesn't get that, he is no Catholic and no Christian at all. Any purported Christian of whatever denomination making anti-Semitic noise is a schizophrenic, charitably speaking. Without Judaism and Jews, there could be no Christianity.

2. Jews generally have gotten a verrrry bum rap over the misbehavior of Annas and Caiphas and that little mob demanding Christ's crucifixion. One of those two, informed by Pontius Pilate that he found no guilt in Christ, replied by saying: Let His Blood be upon us and upon our children." No one died and left those two in charge of calling down punishment upon anyone but themselves personally and the mopes in the crowd who voluntarily agreed with them. They had no authority to speak for their own children much less those of all the pious Jews all over Jerusalem who were preparing their Passover Seder and attending to their ordinary obligations in life. The Blood Libel is/was an historical outrage and Christians need to concede that it is.

Again, may G-d bless you and yours!
