[Polybius]

In "Judas," nearly everyone is to blame. This is no tactical retreat. Rather, it is a plausible and well-researched version of how a corrupt Jewish priest influencing the mob colluded with Roman representatives intent on preserving their careers.

Stop the music! Stop the music!

In "The Passion", a negative portrayal of Caiphas and "the mob" represented a negative portrayal of the entire Jewish people and was therefore "anti-Semitic" and "hateful".

Now, in the network sponsored "Judas", a negative portrayal of Caiphas and "the mob" represents nothing more than the portrayal of a corrupt individual human being (who happens to be Jewish) who manipulates a generic mob which seems to have no religious label attached to it.

Is there a double standard here or I just imagining it?

I didn't want to get a headache trying to sort out the imaginary differences alleged here. You are correct.
