No Gerry,

The Gospels were Carter's SOURCE MATERIAL FOR THE SONG. Many Christians believe that they are the infallible Word of God. For pretty much all Christians, to determine if their intent is anti-Semitic when singing this song that is a far as you have to go. Christians understand the story and who is blamed for what and that they accept that as Truth. If you are offended because you have a different interpretation of Christian writings than pretty much every english speaking Christian then perhaps the fault is in your interpretation.

Surely anti-Semitic behavior is a matter of intent just as surely as the words of this song do not pass any negative message that is not stated more clearly in the Gospels which are the ORIGINAL source material for the METAPHOR expressed in the song. No offense was meant virtually no one of the millions who have sung or will sing the song see or are trying to express anti-Semitism. You have no reasonable cause to take offense.
