I'm starting to understand - - I see how you could think that Christians view Jews today as responsible for Jesus' death, because that's the way you think about things - you believe in mass guilt and inherited guilt, and you hold christianity responsible for the crimes of people in the past who happened to be christians. Sort of your own version of imposing blood guilt on people. A very tribal outlook. Sad.

Why is this so hard for you to admit? The whole idea of "Christ Killers" was to impute collective guilt upon Jews.

Not really but every people has a history
