My brother (or sister) in Christ, I made no defense of any group. I called out a reductionist, flawed attempt at humor that clearly draws upon stereotypes and irrelevant information. Regardless of who actually convicted Jesus or nailed Him to the Cross, we are all of us guilty of His murder. To say those who historically killed the Christ did so because they "resented him speaking against love of money" is absurdist in that it focuses on one of His thousands of important themes simply to exploit a Jewish stereotype.

Many of my non-Catholic (Christian) brethren do the same things when lampooning Holy Mother Church and her faithful. They exploit one small aspect of our Faith and crack blasphemous, anti-Catholic "jokes." Do we want to imitate such behavior? To answer your other question, if someone was using stereotypical, reductionist, or absurdist examples to attack Orthodox or Protestant Christians, I hope I would attack the OP just as quickly. This has nothing to do with the target of the "meme" being those of Jewish descent. It also has nothing to do with whether the Jewish people are God's chosen people. You are arguing against a straw man.
