Historically, crucifixion was a Roman method of execution—not a Jewish one. Jesus was crucified under Roman law by Roman soldiers, with Pontius Pilate overseeing the sentence. While some Jewish leaders opposed Jesus, they did not carry out the crucifixion. Blaming “the Jews” collectively ignores the Roman legal system and oversimplifies complex sectarian dynamics.
Further complicating the accusation is the claim that Ashkenazi Jews are “fake Jews,” descended not from ancient Israelites but from converts or other lineages. If this claim were true, it would make no sense to hold Ashkenazi Jews responsible for an event that occurred in 1st-century Judea, long before their emergence in medieval Europe.
So the question arises: if Ashkenazi Jews are not the original Israelites, then who are? And if the real Israelites were present during Jesus’s time, wouldn’t they—if anyone—be the ones involved in his death? Yet this line of reasoning collapses under historical scrutiny, as Jesus and his earliest followers were themselves Jewish.
Ultimately, blaming any modern Jewish group for Jesus’s death is not only historically inaccurate—it’s ethically irresponsible. It perpetuates prejudice based on flawed logic and ignores the Roman role in the crucifixion.
