This part is a slight corruption of The Anguish of the Jews: Twenty-three Centuries of Antisemitism p. 52 by Edward H. Flannery:
Quote
Judaism, since Christ, is a corruption; indeed, Judas is the image of the Jєωιѕн people: their understanding of Scripture is carnal; they bear the guilt for the death of the Savior, for through their fathers they have killed Christ.
This part is "Augustine, The Creed, 3:10 (FCCH, 27:301)," according to Flannery p. 306:
Quote
The Jews held Him; the Jews insulted Him; the Jews bound Him; they crowned Him with thorns and dishonored Him by spitting upon Him; they scourged Him; they heaped abuses upon Him; they hung Him upon a tree

I'm using it against Zionism
Ok.  I mis-read the OP.  I was thinking that it was he that used the quote and you were trying to find where the Saint said it.  Thanks.  

My daughter was asked out by a Zionist once.  She didn't know he was a Zionist until later because she told me that when he started talking about the Jews everything he said was just crazy!  We discussed the issue a while and she told him that she couldn't go out with him because he wasn't even Christian.

My Zionist friend says the quote is anti-Semitic and stupid( because the Romans killed Christ) I guess they don't ask themselves "on who's orders?"

The Jews themselves are anti-semitic. Jesus was a Jew. His blood is on their hands, their words, recorded in scripture:

.

Matthew 27 (Douay-Rheims 1899)
22 Pilate saith to them: What shall I do then with Jesus that is called Christ? They say all: Let him be crucified. 23 The governor said to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying: Let him be crucified. 24 And Pilate seeing that he prevailed nothing, but that rather a tumult was made; taking water washed his hands before the people, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man; look you to it. 25 And the whole people answering, said: His blood be upon us and our children

The statement also sounds like it may be coming from Fr. Denis Fahey (book).  He may have taken the source and put it in his book?
