Look the only people that can "blame the Jews" are those that do not believe that Jesus was the Son of God sent for the very purpose of sacrifice. You cannot blame anyone if you truly believe that both the Romans and Jews that actually took part were only a means to an end. I can understand Jew's unease because they look at Jesus as a "very popular human" not as the Messiah so they logically fear that someone will blame them for murder. To a Christian there was no murder there was a resurrection. The modern western anti-Semitism is not religious at all how could it be? The hot bed of modern anti-Semitism is most prevalent in Europe, which has become almost completely secular and VERY anti-Israel.

I understand your point. A believer believes it was all a drama in which God was the director, and each played their assigned role, in accordance with His will. All of this is giving me a headache, particularly since my knowledge of religion, and the Christian religion, is not my strong suit. I feel more confident chatting about free trade, and school vouchers, and micro and macro economics, and psephology. Here I am just chatting among friends, almost none of whom agree with my perspective, and that is fine.
