the only difference between my position and Mr. Edwards' was that he says there is no link IN THE SONG between "the holy people" and those that
whipped him, stripped him and hung him up to die." And I am saying that that doesn't matter.   

"the holy people" had him charged, arrested, and brought before Pilate.

Gerry said,

"I do not accuse you or anyone here (or Sydney Carter) of antisemitism."

Since the above statement, can be taken as a withdrawal of this one,

"accuses the Jews ("The holy people") - not the Pharisees, but the Jews - of crucifying Jesus. With all due respect to Rabbi Sol, that is an antisemitic lie - indeed, it is THE antisemitic lie, the one that led to terrible suffering by Jews down the ages."

It might be a good time to end this discussion.
