Gerry,

Your argument about the song being ant-semitic, hinges on anti-Semites (Jew haters) believing that the Jews are THE HOLY PEOPLE.

Your argument about the Gospels is equally silly. On the on hand you say that The Romans (Pilate) had enough legal to kill Jesus because people were calling him the Messiah, and also that they (he) were arbitrary and evil enough to just do it for no reason. On the other you are saying that the writers of the Gospels who obviously knew the Romans much better than any of us, somehow thought that they could escape Roman punishment by blaming the Jews for making Jesus a Martyr when they would most certainly know the capital crime would have been writing the parts where they say Jesus is Lord and King.

You seem to be simply finding, newer, progressively weaker arguments as your earlier ones get picked off.

You have little hope of having the song censored for what you perceive as "anti-Semitic" material. You have NO hope of getting the Gospels censored for that reason.
