Ireland, is this true?

[SR71Blackbird]

Wasn’t sure where to ask this but there’s a piece in the JC about antisemitism in the Irish curriculum. It seems legit but incredulous:

Can anyone here verify?

To be fair it is stated in the new testament that the Jews wanted Barabbas to be spared and Jesus executed. So there is some element of truth to it even if it was the Romans that did the job. It is not anti Semitic to state that.

According to MN it is!

The purpose ( I imagine) was to highlight concerns of the Jewish community in Ireland

You must know that the crucifixion of Jesus has been used as an irrational and malicious justification for the horrendous treatment and abuse of Jews for centuries.?

The subject is forbidden @Limesodaagain so much as I'd love to discuss it with you I'm not going to

I doubt any subject is forbidden by @mnhq, unless it relates to an ongoing court case.

Why don't you ask them @whytetulip?

Are they investigating other countries too
It states in a link I provided at the beginning of the thread that the Irish school curriculum has been the only one they have investigated outside of the middle east.

I’ve reported that
I hope it’s deleted

Funny I thought you wanted to discuss it?

Yes and it doesn't justify genocide of Jews. However it is true that they contributed to the death of Christ. That is just a matter of fact.

Anti semitic hate speech alive and frequent on MN courtesy of Drakhan. Why? Because you can? Because people are so black and white that Jews bad, Palestinian good and everything is the fault of Israel. Emboldened to be so hate filled. That's the growing measure of society now.

Not “the Jews” …but . “Some Jewish people 2,000 years ago .
There is a difference

There's discussion things, and there's spewing antisemitic tropes.

Indeed. Some struggle to work out the difference or are too lazy and therefore hatred spills forth.

Don’t be facetious.
You surely understand why that comment is anti semitic?

Thank you

Well yes obviously the Jews who live now aren't to blame but it was used as an excuse for example killing Jews under the reign of Richard I. It isn't hatred to state that Jesus died due to his fellow Jews though! Christians are taught that.

If some of these comments are anything to go by I am starting to understand why the JC had concerns about the Irish curriculum

Well I hope you aren't one of those who hate the English because of past events otherwise you would be a hypocrite.

Why are you assuming those posts were made by Irish people?

No - Christians are not taught that “the Jews are to blame”. We’ve been through all this earlier in the thread .
Our Lady was Jewish , the apostles etc … 🙄
