That was certainly a huge turning point in anti-Semitic history - a bad one, at that. While not directly responsible for violence against Jews, the Epistle of Barnabas has its share of venom for the Jews, as does the Gospel of John in the canonical books of the Greek New Testament.
Flipflop is as anti-Christian as the OP is anti-Semitic. The two are like opposite sides of the same hateful coin that won't "forgive and forget", and neither seem capable of toleration. Flipflop, for his part, has shown his extreme paranoia at the idea that Christians are somehow just waiting with held breaths for the first chance they get to try to commit racial and religious genocide. The OP seems to be the average Fundamentalist who cannot be bothered to do any research on a subject when Sunday School is out of session, who has to legitimate his claim to God by removing the Jews earlier claim to God.
Speaking of the OP, he seems to have vanished after spouting his anti-Semitic nonsense - which he easily could have answered himself if he had bothered to look up Judaism on Wikipedia, rather than ignoring such an important aspect that would help inform him as to why the Jews of that time would have rejected wholesale the idea of the Messiah dying on a "tree" in the first place. This does not, of course, mean that the Jews killed Jesus. As has been pointed out by several posters, a little informed reading of the Gospels demonstrates that Rome killed Jesus as a seditionist and that the anti-Jewish sentiment that can be seen clearly growing stronger as one reaches the Gospel of John had a self-preserving political agenda to legitimate the new Christian sect in the eyes of Rome that soon became a full-blown theological statement concerning the value of the so-called "New" Testament over the "Old". He is obviously trolling, methinks.
