It’s been recommended that some passages of the Bible should be accompanied by “trigger warnings” – the phrase coined in American universities to indicate possible offence to minorities, to women, or to racial or ethnic groups.

The European Jewish Congress (EJC) has pointed out that certain passages in the New Testament (and the Koran) can be seen as anti-Semitic, and seem to blame Jews for the death of Jesus.

Actually, as scholars have pointed out, what these passages describe are tensions between different Jewish groups of the time rather than a blanket blaming of the Jewish people as a whole.
