...it was a widespread belief that Jews were responsible for the death of Christ.

Despite the figure of Jesus (Yeshu) being himself a Jew...

But, yes, that seems to be the consensus. Hitchens went further, and said the Jews also rejected Jesus and Mohammed, which p-o'd both religions. Not sure about the consensus around that statement, but it does make a bit of sense. Atheists weren't treated much better (also rejecting Jesus and Mohammed).

Can't really expect any consistency or logic from any of them. The first books on the Bible/Torah state that the Jews are "god's chosen people". Which clearly ain't the xians or muslims, even though they hold to those books. And they're responsible for much of the torment of the Jews for the past 1500 years.
