Catholic fans chant 'You killed Jesus' during Jewish basketball game

The Jewish kids should have responded with, "Now we're going to kill your team in basketball."
I always wonder how this stuff gets to be news. High school kids taunting each other and being mean - now novel. To get the ADL involved, I don't even know what to say about that.

Good lord.
Did it become a national news story? Did the American Cancer Society get involved and pursue legal action?

I have to admit, prejudice against Jews is the hardest for me to understand. It's like being prejudiced against left-handers - most of the time, you don't even know it.
I was once in the dorm of one of my college friends whom I knew was Jewish, and I made a joke about him - in a friendly, you know what I mean sort of way, and he didn't take offense - but he told me "you do realize that EVERYONE ELSE in this room is also Jewish, right?". I had no idea. I'd been hanging out with these guys for a good six months by then, and the subject just never came up. They all laughed - they knew I was just teasing Joel, and I didn't mean anything - it would never occur to me.
I just don't get it.

You know, it's something that crops up throughout history and it's really hard to understand from a modern perspective. I think the closest I've ever gotten to a satisfactory answer is that for a long time they were just so radically different from the societies they were in. The jews treated their women and children very differently from the gentiles, and they often lived in their own little enclaves. They were willing to do things that the priest told the peasantry were sinful.
I think in the modern era it's just bred into the bone. It was such a big thing for such a long time the echos of it are just still there.
Jews spent the whole Old Testament being punished by everyone, including God, so you'd think modern people would give them a break.

The effort that goes into Intel on an imposing team by some fan bases truly amazes me. I'm an alum of the University of Maryland. I'm also a huge soccer fan. I attend a lot of their games with my kids. The UofM men's soccer team has a fan base known as the crew. They number in the hundreds and sit directly behind the opposing goalie at Ludwig Field. By game time they know his girlfriends name, his cell number, and virtually everything about him embarrassing. They bring giant blown up pictures of him in embarrassing situations etc. It's insane.

Hmmm... I thought maybe they chanted "now he has two balls".

The best part is they did not kill Jesus. The Romans did.
They absolutely did.
Acts 2
22 “Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. 23 This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men,[d] put him to death by nailing him to the cross.
The ONLY distinction being, they did not *personally* put the nails in. The Gospel account makes it clear they wanted to kill him, were not legally allowed to kill him, and when the Roman governor did everything thing he could to placate them - they blackmailed him.
Yeah, they killed him, and the Scriptures said they would. Jesus said they would, before he even went into Jerusalem for the last time.
The thing is, the WHOLE POINT of Christianity for the Gentiles is that Christians become heirs to the promise of Abraham by, as the book of Romans describes, being grafted onto a tree they were not born to. Gentiles are essentially "adopted". Adopted members of a Jewish patriarch's household.
Moreover - it's their natural "tree".
Romans 11
24 After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
It's STUPID to say Christ-killer. We all killed him.

Yeah seriously, Jesus had to die for our sins, they should be shouting "Thank you for getting it done!".
Just think, if Jesus hadn't died none of us would be allowed to eat bacon.

I think the school officials should re-educate their students on what it means to do unto others as they would have them do to you.
Generally speaking, they adhered to their own laws and failed to assimilate. Sound familiar to anyone?
True enough, but don't forget they also did some God-sanctioned punishing in their own right.

You are certainly free to believe all of that and take responsibility for something you had nothing to do with. As is, the authorities, the Roman ones, had him crucified.

Every poster on this board, and everyone else, killed Jesus. He did it for us. But in reality, no one, in a sense, killed Jesus - He, and only He, had (has) the power to lay down His life, and the power to raise it up again. And He did it for every one of us sinners.
If everyone would just think about that, instead of proclaiming their own innocence, then the world would be a much better place, hell will be quite empty.

I didn't kill Jesus. I never owned slaves. It flies in the face of any sense of individual liberty and freedom to proclaim we all owe a lifelong, eternal debt and obligation to do as we're told for something we had nothing to do with. I'll take blame for today and tomorrow but not that far back.
