In the eighth paragraph of the posted article, Rabbi Prager specifically stated that Christians see all of mankind as responsible for the crucifixion. As a Catholic, I agree with Rabbi Prager on this. Don't you agree with him too?

Dennis Prager is not a rabbi. In fact, he is not even an Orthodox Jew, though his prominence in the conservative movement probably causes this impression.

Unfortunately, Mr. Prager rejects the Oral Torah and the authority of the Rabbinate (similar to an "orthodox Catholic" who rejected sacred tradition and the authority of the popes and councils). He is also a "higher critic" of Judaism and has "taught" the Torah verse-by-verse at "The University of Judaism," an institution of "Conservative" (not Orthodox) Judaism.

I appreciate Mr. Prager's political conservatism, but reject utterly his extremely non-traditional religious presuppositions. Despite his professed friendship for "fundamentalist chr*stians" he doubtlessly thinks they are (and that I am) stupid for believing the universe was created in six days 5764 years ago.

My apologies. I used to listen to Dennis Prager on WABC Radio 770 in New York when I lived in Connecticut. I had thought that he was a Conservative rabbi. I did not agree with him on some issues such as abortion on which he favors abortion being legal. On other issues, he seemed often a wise man. I accept that you probably know better than I as to his role in Judaism.
