Go and tell someone else they crucified him and they need to repent, but do not tell some of us, since some of us did not do that." But they took his words, never argued with them, and asked what they should do as a result. You are really reaching here to avoid this, bro.
Peter: YE
People: WE?
Peter: REPENT
When did YE no longer mean YE? Peter told some people whom he called "YE" that they crucified the Lord, and that was sin people had to repent of. Obviously it is the ones to whom he preached. I say YOU when I speak to you, do I not? And the ones who asked what should they do were the ones Peter told to repent. Seems perfectly plain to me.

Acts 2:36 Therefore let
all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom
ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
In
Acts 2:36 "ye" refers to all the house of Israel. If all the house of Israel are directly responsible for Christ's crucifixion then so are the apostles for they were of the house of Israel. The fact is that no where in the story of Christ's crucifixion is every jew said to have taken part in it. In fact it is quite clear that every Jew did not. Did Peter or any of the other apostles? Surely you will answer no. But that is what Peter said, that all the house of Israel crucified Jesus. The fact is that not every Jew was involved in Jesus being crucified, the apostles being the best examples. So you must go back to the drawing board about applying the guilt of Christ's death directly to all individual jews.
