Really? I have been in Christian churches all of my 34 years. I have never heard one person express any resentment toward Jewish people because the Jewish leaders orchestrated Christ's execution, let alone advocate any actual reprisal.

I think you might have understood Jonah's words. When he said "The Christ-killing story has always been an excuse for anti-Semitism," he didn't mean it is always an excuse for anti-Semitism, he means it was used at most as an excuse for anti-Semitism, it itself is not responsible for hate. He's saying you can't blame the Christian Bible for anti-Semitism; the fault lies with the people who deliberately twisted it for their hateful purposes.
