66. I did not say it is a "valid" reason. There is NO valid reason to hate an entire people.

But this is the story that generated the ancient meme that blames the Jews for the death of Jesus.

ALTHOUGH I could imagine a Roman Emperor not wanting to do the dirty work of the Jewish leaders and offering to release someone who hadn't really committed any crime and literally "washing his hands of it" as a show.

They say there were plants in the audience that shouted out that phrase. Look how easy it has been riling up MAGA people these days. People are people. Could it be that a crowd gathered to watch people be condemned to die might an excitable lot?

MY faith doesn't need it to be exactly true, but it is interesting to someone who studied cultural anthropology and was raised in the church. Even our myths say something about US.
