Tyere have been plenty of Richetous Men and Women in the world that have been loved by G-d yet still were killed.

As long as evil persists in the world everyone even the most holy will and can be killed

The general Jewish belief on the Messiah is that at any one time there is a person who fits the criteria to be the Messiah. If the time for the Messiah comes -- and the belief tends to be that that time will come as a result of man's actions, not God's -- then that person will step forward and become the Messiah.

But many potential Messiahs have lived and died without the time coming and therefore are remembered, if at all, as merely righteous (if there is anything mere about righteousness).

The Apostle Paul was a Jew he killed may early Christians. He later converted to Christianity.
Paul states: 1 Thes.14) For you brethern, became imitators of the churches of God which were in Judea in Christ Jesus. For you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Jews, 15)who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God and are contrary to all men.16) forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins;......

Maybe the question should be to Krauthammer, why are you today committing the same sins that your ancestors did two thousand years ago?
