I am saying that Israel was responsible but not that all Jews were.

Wait. Let me get your point straight. You believe Peter spoke of Corporate guilt in Acts 2:23, 36, right?

Yes, Israel was guilty for Christ's death.

Do you believe that when Peter referred to them saving themselves from that untoward GENERATION, it was a reference to corporate guilt?

No, I do not believe that.

And yet there is no repentance required for corporate guilt?

None. You can only repent or turn from the things you yourself do.

The truth is Peter offered them escape from corporate guilt by repentance. Their guilt was for sin. Individual or not, the individual escaped the corporate guilt by repentance.

The truth is that Peter offered them salvation by turning toward Jesus and being baptized. They could not repent for crucifying Christ because as individuals they didn't cause it. They could turn toward Jesus though. That is the repentance that Peter spoke of.
