But all of that was based on church teachings ( the Jews killed Christ! ) and some of the most virulent anti-Semitic times, in European nations, followed Medieval PASSION PLAYS,that were performed during Lent.

Jesus was a Jew, but by the early Middle Ages,that was NEVER mentioned by Christians and certainly NOT by the church hierarchy.

In the medieval times, the viewers were largely ignorant about the bible, or indeed about the larger circumstances of Christ's suffering. If you notice, this film has a resurrection. How can we complain about the Jews killing someone who didn't stay dead?

Yes, and this was also before Gutenberg and private ownership of Bibles.
