Who killed Jesus? The Wiesenthal Center poll story
- Who killed Jesus?
The hosts discuss a news story in which the Wiesenthal Center got the National Geographic Channel in Latin America to remove an online 'who killed Jesus?' poll offering Pontius Pilate, the Jewish people, and the high priests as options. They call the poll ridiculous, answer that every sinner is responsible and that Christ's death was God's plan, and connect it to modern antisemitism, including anti-Jewish chanting among Occupy protesters. They conclude hatred of Jewish people has nothing to do with Jesus.
