Crucifying Jews

Induction into the hell of infamy begins early 

and never ends -- with Jewish children on

their way home from school hearing the

timeless taunt of "Christ killer!" identifying

them as members of the tribe of deicidal

murderers, one and all, an ageless and

mind-penetrating accusation installed

deep in the consciousness of the faithful

in whom has been instilled the visceral

hatred of Jews responsible for a loving

god sacrificing his mortal son to the greater

goal of furnishing a model for time to come

of sacrifice in the name of the all-powerful

Almighty. Hatred makes strange bedfellows

when Arab usurpers of Biblical-era Judea

claim archaeological history faulted and it

was Arabs masquerading now as 'Palestinians'

co-opting the nomenclature from indigenous

Palestinian Jews for their very own original

historiography much as Mohammad rewrote

Judaism as God's final word in Islam, with

Christ now claimed as Palestinian in origin

Arab, after all, not a Jew, to the great relief and

satisfaction of Jew-hating devout Christians.
