| Description | Poll Says More Americans believe Jews killed Jesus
The Honolulu Advertiser
The percentage of Americans who believe Jews were responsible for killing Jesus has grown in recent years, although it remains a view held by a minority, according to a poll released yesterday. The survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press found 26 percent of respondents believe Jews were to blame for the Crucifixion, up from 19 percent in ABC News poll in 1997. The greatest increase was among young people and blacks. Thirty-four percent of those under age 30 now believe Jews were responsible, compared with 10 percent in 1997, the Pew Center said. And 42 percent of blacks hold that view, compared with 21 percent seven years ago. The poll was conducted amid controversy over Mel Gibson's epic "The Passion of the Christ." Some say the film unfairly portrays the role of Jews in Jesus' death. |
