BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Fox Latin America has apologized for a poll on whether Jews killed Jesus Christ that one of its staffers put on a Facebook page promoting the National Geographic Channel's Christmas special.

The poll asked readers who they think is responsible for the death of Christ: Pontius Pilate, The Jewish People or the High Priests.

The Simon Weisenthal Center in Buenos Aires calls it a defamatory reference to Vatican propaganda that "resulted in the persecution and murder of Jews for two millennia."

The Jewish group says it's outraged that Fox would perpetuate an idea that the Vatican annulled back in 1965.

Fox Spokeswoman Guadalupe Lucero apologized on behalf of National Geographic, saying the poll was removed immediately and measures have been taken to prevent such incidents in the future.

Jew weren't "persecuted and murdered for 2 millennia" because they killed Jesus, they were persecuted and murdered for two millennia because they're [refuse temptation to troll]
 
This poll sounds stupid, but so does the reaction.

This is exactly why the blaming the Jews thing has never made any sense to me. Completely illogical to blame any humans for the events. Unless of course God had some other plan and it all went horribly wrong. There'd be no Christianity without it though.

+1 We was supposedly sent here to become a martyr. Can't blame anybody just like you can't call Judas a traitor as he was supposedly picked for the job.

What a load of nonsense religion is.

Erm, Jesus was a Jew not a Christian.

That's if he even existed in the first place.

Claiming reality, based solely on the NT, for Jesus is the same as claiming reality for the Mad Hatter, based on Alice in Wonderland.

Anyway, read in the context of the gospels, the crucifixion is highly unlikely, if not impossible.

If the Bible is correct, the Jews needed reforming. Didn't Jesus speak of money changers in the Temple and other disrespectful attitudes?

Is the OP the reason Jews have been persecuted so much throughout history? They blame it on what happened 2000 years ago or is it something else?

Looking at Christianity it didn't turn out any better.
 
LOL, funny guys.


The term "Jew" was only coined in the 18th century.

Jesus was "Judean".
He wasn't a "Jew".

LOL.
 
Jesus was a Jew.

Jews
The English word Jew continues Middle English Gyw, Iewe, a loan from Old French giu, earlier juieu, ultimately from Latin Iudaeum. The Latin Iudaeus simply means Judaean, "from the land of Judaea". The Latin term itself, like the corresponding Greek Ἰουδαῖος, is a loan from Aramaic Y'hūdāi, corresponding to Hebrew: יְהוּדִי‎‎, Yehudi (sg.); יְהוּדִים, Yehudim (pl.), in origin the term for a member of the tribe of Judah or the people of the kingdom of Judah. The name of both the tribe and kingdom derive from Judah, the fourth son of Jacob.

I already gave an example, but I don't believe you read (or understood it).

Well then that means the Jews couldnt have had anything to do with his death, since they didn't exist before the 18th century.

You are one of those annoying people who always blame Colonel Mustard right at the beginning of the game.

I say it was Reverend Green with the spanner in the kitchen.
