Fox Latin America has apologized for a poll on whether Jews killed Jesus Christ that one of its staffers put on a Facebook page promoting the National Geographic Channel's Christmas special.

The poll asked readers who they think is responsible for the death of Christ: Pontius Pilate, The Jewish People or the High Priests.

Adam had an opportunity to say no to Eve who passed him the forbidden fruit compelled by the Serpent.

Adam chose to follow Satan.

To try to answer your question about why it was that certain Jews played a role in the handing over of Christ to the death of the cross, I believe one has to start with the God’s view of the nation of Israel. He chose them to be His earthly instrument whereby all nations would have the means to be saved. Additionally, He says of them, “I have loved you with an everlasting love,” and, elsewhere, “You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you.” The point being that God’s reasons for anything is so that men and women might be saved, whether you are talking about an individual or a people.

Think of it, then! What greater demonstration of love could God muster toward His own people then to seek after them Himself, suffer rejection from them to His face, and yet continue to pursue them with a heart that still longs for relationship with them! If you think of this as you read the Gospel of John (chapters 5-12) you can’t help but be in awe of the way God in Christ was putting Himself before them, allowing them to inspect Him, examine Him, turn Him this way and that, so that they might see His true nature and character (the passover lamb was to be kept in the house for 2 weeks to be examined for flaw or defect before being put to death - Ex. 12) then, allow them to brutalize Him at the hands of the Sanhedrin, Herod, and, yes, Pilate before being crucified—all so that He might offer propitiation (satisfaction) to God for sin even the sin of Israel in rejecting Him. And all of this leading to the day of His return when, as is written in Zechariah: “And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn,” the day when Israel “gets it” and receives their King (Christ) into Jerusalem at His [true] triumphal entry!

I realize this answer is a simplified, quite shrunk-down version of what God is doing with Israel, but it is a start (a start which must begin with the character of God, of Whom the bible says “is love.”)
