You have to wonder how anyone paranoid enough to cringe at "666" on a ticket stub would react to the notion that the Jews killed Christ.

Only if you wonder why anyone would read Revelation at all. Then again, maybe getting those who read prophecy to think that they are 'paranoid' is the objective of some.
The Passion of course shows many Jews, including some of the Priests even, protesting Christs persecution.
That said, it was incredibly, incredibly odd that after following months and months of writings from screechers pointing and yelling 'AntiSemitic' at the movie, not a single article ever noted or commented about these scenes which revealed that dissent. I had to see it for myself in the movie. Now that omission was interesting indeed - and lends credence to other, politically-based motives for all the screeching against this movie.
Here's a truth: being anti-Christian fosters the worst kind of antisemitism ... delberate pursuit of promoting ignorance. Its the required fertilizer for the more visible evils it nutures.
