I have never gotten the modern hatred of the Jewish people. I could understand the backward thinking of early Christians blaming Jewish religious leadership for the death of the Messiah—but it had to happen as it was fortold—thus everyone played their role...in that prophecy...

And it wasn't all the Jewish people by any stretch of the imagination.

It was the Pharisees, the religious leaders, who perpetrated it. And they did accept full responsibility for their actions. Something along the line of *HIs blood be on us and our children.*

They willingly owned it, not that that in any way excuses what has been done to Jews throughout history by some who CALL themselves Christian.

Yes, the betrayal and crucifixion played out exactly as necessary to fulfill prophecy.
