BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Fox Latin America has apologized for a poll on whether Jews killed Jesus Christ that one of its staffers put on a Facebook page promoting the National Geographic Channel’s Christmas special.
The poll asked readers who they think is responsible for the death of Christ: Pontius Pilate, The Jewish People or the High Priests.
The Simon Weisenthal Center in Buenos Aires calls it a defamatory reference to Vatican propaganda that “resulted in the persecution and murder of Jews for two millennia.”
The Jewish group says it’s outraged that Fox would perpetuate an idea that the Vatican annulled back in 1965.
Fox Spokeswoman Guadalupe Lucero apologized on behalf of National Geographic, saying the poll was removed immediately and measures have been taken to prevent such incidents in the future.
I find it strange that the BDN had to go all the way to South America in order to find a story that they could try and pin on Fox. Getting a little desperate, wouldn’t you say?
By the way:
Jesus torqued the jaws of the High Priests.The High Priests incited the Jewish people to turn against Christ.
Both the High Priests and the Jewish people tried to get Pontius Pilate to condemn Jesus to death.
Pontius Pilate had Him flogged and then washed his hands of the situation.
The Jewish people, backed by the High Priests collectively condemned Christ to death.
The Roman soldiers carried out the sentence.
In truth, however, we all had a hand in the crucifixion of Christ.
