"Is there a part of the bible that says "Jews"?"

Um. The word "Jews" appears literally hundreds of hundreds of times in the the Gospel of John. And it repeatedly states that the Jewish leaders were plotting to kill him. It also refers many times to "the Jews that believed in him". It talks about how "the Jews" would continually come up with ways to test him, to try to trip him up. It also talks about Jews that became his disciples.

I'm not disagreeing with the rest of your point. I'm just saying though, yeah, the Bible very much does make a point of who was a Jew, who was a Gentile, who was a Samaritan, who was a Pharisee, who was a Roman, etc. etc. etc. And it states very explicitly, several times, that Jews sought to kill him. The Romans aren't even brought in till the end.

I can see many reasons for this being pointed out without the desire to spread blame. Like, to, uh, explain the temporal reason why he was killed. 99.9% of Christians I know, though, don't care what the temporal reason was, cause they believe it was preordained. It doesn't change the fact, though.

My question is, why aren't Italians getting upset about their portrayal in this movie, UNLESS it is because Christians today are being blamed for the actions of Christians who lived several centuries ago?
