This is a powerful post by Paul Raushenbush on Anti-Semitism and Palm Sunday.
Ignorant or willful misunderstanding of the death of Jesus has led to horrible oppression of Jewish people over the last two thousand years. Christians celebrating Easter should remember that Good Friday was a day when Christians went on rampages against Jews often leading to their deaths. If you need any proof there is a fun lemonade drink popular in Spain around Easter called “Matar Judios” or “Kill Jews.”
