Are these statements anti semitic?

Please read the excerpts below referencing the Jews and give your opinion:


"...remember the very bitter pain Thou didst suffer when the Jews nailed Thy Sacred Hands and Feet to the Cross by blow after blow with big blunt nails, and not finding Thee in a pitiable enough state to satisfy their rage, they enlarged Thy Wounds, and added pain to pain, and with indescribable cruelty stretched Thy Body on the Cross, pulled Thee from all sides, thus dislocating Thy Limbs."

"...thousands of insults, spits, blows, lacerations and other unheard-of-cruelties, tormented..."

"...remember the bruises which Thou didst suffer and the weakness of all Thy Members which were distended to such a degree that never was there pain like unto Thine. From the crown of Thy Head to the Soles of Thy Feet there was not one spot of Thy Body that was not in torment..."

"...recall the pain Thou didst endure when, plunged in an ocean of bitterness at the approach of death, insulted, outraged by the Jews..."

"...plunged in an abyss of suffering from the soles of Thy Feet to the crown of Thy Head. In consideration of the enormity of Thy Wounds..."

 

Here is why I am asking:


"Why are they calling her a Nazi? …Because modern secular Judaism wants to blame the Holocaust on the Catholic Church. And it's a lie. And it's revisionism. And they've been working on that one for a while."

a nineteenth-century nun whose writings influenced his
portrayal of Jesus' death. The New Yorker, September 15, 2003

S&T:

Now by these excerpts posted above at the beginning of the thread, of the prayers of st bridgit, which Mr Gibson has prayed for the last fifteen years that directly point the finger at the Jews, while eliminating all roman complicity, isn't this one and the same as his above statement? Could this be viewed as a double standard?

 

Let's critically analyze the first excerpt:

"...remember the very bitter pain Thou didst suffer when the Jews nailed Thy Sacred Hands and Feet to the Cross by blow after blow with big blunt nails, and not finding Thee in a pitiable enough state to satisfy their rage, they enlarged Thy Wounds, and added pain to pain, and with indescribable cruelty stretched Thy Body on the Cross, pulled Thee from all sides, thus dislocating Thy Limbs."

1) Did the Jews do any physical nailing?

2) Does scripture report that the Jews did the physical nailing while enlarging the wounds to satisfy their "rage"

3) Does scripture report that any Jew dislocated Jesus' limb, or anyone for that matter while nailing Him to the cross?

No not in themselves, but they could vary easily be put into a context where they would be anti Semitic

Let's review my earlier analyses, and I will answer the questions that I posed:

Let's critically analyze the first excerpt:

"...remember the very bitter pain Thou didst suffer when the Jews nailed Thy Sacred Hands and Feet to the Cross by blow after blow with big blunt nails, and not finding Thee in a pitiable enough state to satisfy their rage, they enlarged Thy Wounds, and added pain to pain, and with indescribable cruelty stretched Thy Body on the Cross, pulled Thee from all sides, thus dislocating Thy Limbs."

1) Did the Jews do any physical nailing?

ANSWER:

NO, not scripturally or historically.

2) Does scripture report that the Jews did the physical nailing while enlarging the wounds to satisfy their "rage"

ANSWER:

NO, not scripturally or historically.

3) Does scripture report that any Jew dislocated Jesus' limb, or anyone for that matter while nailing Him to the cross?

ANSWER:

NO, not scripturally or historically.

So then what we have, is untruth, which is being used to incite feelings against an errantly named race, who did not scripturally or historically perform these acts, while attempting to eliminate the complicity of another race [the Romans]in these physical acts. The Jews complicity in other areas is clearly spelled out both scripturally and historically as far as the natural realm goes. In the spiritual realm, we are all accomplices.
