A Catholic school in Massachusetts has apologized after some of its pupils chanted “you killed Jesus” at a game against a school with many Jewish students.

The fan section of Catholic Memorial High School in West Roxbury unleashed the anti-Semitic cheer when its basketball team visited Newton North High School on Friday night.

Memorial’s President Peter Folan called the chanting “unacceptable” and said that the offending students had to personally apologize to Newton’s interim principal after the game. …

Jesus was a Jew, right?

[disndat]

This is definitely worse than blaming ME for slavery.

[Parmy]

Stupid.

[Olog-hai]

Of the House of David.

[JohnBrowdie]

well, strictly speaking, it was the Romans.

[trisham]

This was a really, really stupid thing to do.

Thanks Obama

The Jews should be thanked for killing Jesus. Unless he had died and rose again we would have no salvation.

Fans at basketball games chant anything which is offensive; it’s to rattle the other players. The chants are often stupid, silly, and in very poor taste — but the more offensive they are, the better... (adolescent bad taste, imho, but nothing more)

But, for the record, in the gospels Jesus says three times that he will be delivered to the gentiles, who will bind him and kill him.

So, the next time you see an Italian (Roman) ...

You say like HE is dead or something.

A teachable moment

It’s about the same.

Also blaming Germans who weren’t even born for the holocaust.

I’m about over this ‘sins of the father’ crap.

[trisham]

I hate that expression. :)

Jesus was a Jew, right?

Only on his mother's side.

[P.O.E.]

Thought he was sought for, arrested by, and delivered to his tormentors by those who were worried about losing their cushy jobs.

They were the supposed representatives of their people, but were willing to betray their own people.

God knew this way in advance, knowing men’s hearts.

7 years of feel the love, can’t ya just feel it?

[disndat]

I see what you did there.
