Gee I grew up in an area in New York that was full of Italians and Jews and never, ever heard of anything anywhere near the contrived sounding nonsense you describe.

I'm Catholic, my grandfather is from Italy, many of my friends were Italian and many were Jewsish. Never once in my entire life have I heard ANYONE describe Jews as "Christ killers" or even remotely blame them for Christ's death. NOT ONCE EVER.

I'm wondering what I should rely on here. My own eyes and life experience or some internet newcomer who nobody knows anything about and who could as easily be an Arab as a Jew.

For the record, I've had great relationships with basically every Italian I didn't grow up with. I think it was something peculiar about the Italians in my particular neighborhood-- almost all of whom were from Northern Italy. I've never detected a hint of Jew-hating in every Italian I've met in college, law school, or thereafter. Nevertheless, the one's in my neighborhood growing up were real bastards.
