Historicity is different than inter-generational guilt.
Germans performed genocide against Jews. Yet we shouldn’t hold today’s generation accountable.
IIRC, the New Testament places Jews and Romans as the folks who proximately crucified Jesus. Oh well. That doesn’t make today’s Romans guilty of anything.

Absolutely
“IIRC, the New Testament places Jews and Romans as the folks who proximately crucified Jesus. Oh well. That doesn’t make today’s Romans guilty of anything.”
There was nobody else involved in the death of Jesus (except Satan and God) so I’d agree that the Jews and Romans were responsible for his death. This is well documented in religious and secular documents from that time.
Of course today’s Jews or Romans are not responsible any more than today’s white people are responsible for slavery.
