Great post but why antisemitic? Hating Jews because they rejected Christ has nothing to do with their ethnicity or race but with their behavior of rejecting Christ. Jesus wasn't referring to himself and his disciples when he said the Jews' father was the devil. This is laid out in John 8 when the Jews claim they are the sperm (sperma) of Abraham, but Jesus replies using the word children (tekna) shifting the focus from seed to behavior: "if you were Abraham's children, you would do as Abraham did." Those Jews who accept Christ stay Jews ethnically but become the children of God and are brought back into the fold of the new Israel, ie Church. Just like many "isms", "antisemitism" is another Jewish invention created to subjugate Christians, shifting the focus from their behavior to their race.
I use the term "anti-Semitic" because it is the word that they throw at anyone that criticizes Israel or notices the truth. Essentially I am using it as a way to mock their attempts to smear me. But there are discrepancies in the actual ancestry of modern day Jews that they also don't want us to talk about.
Pilate and his soldiers don't get to escape judgement simply because Pilate declared it so. Matthew recording that doesn't mean that Pilate was correct that he was innocent. The Nicene Creed declares Pilate's guilt when it declares that our Lord was "crucified under Pontius Pilate."
Either way, the Council of Trent got it right when they declared
"Think diligently upon him that endured such opposition from sinners against himself; that you be not wearied, fainting in your minds. In this guilt are involved all those who fall frequently into sin; for, as our sins consigned Christ the Lord to the death of the cross, most certainly those who wallow in sin and iniquity crucify to themselves again the Son of God, as far as in them lies, and make a mockery of Him. This guilt seems more enormous in us than in the Jews, since according to the testimony of the same Apostle: If they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory; while we, on the contrary, professing to know Him, yet denying Him by our actions, seem in some sort to lay violent hands on him."
Great read! Thank you so much for this revelation!
