So you are saying Jews didn't kill Christ but they are trying to kill a movie about Jesus Christ? Thus the backlash from far more numerous Christians on a small bunch of pesky Jews?

To me it comes down to numbers. Since Jews are so small in numbers (with Christian numbers so large) they have no right to complain and raise questions. How dare they! So ya'll can't handle the concerns and criticisms and come down on them like a ton of bricks. N'est pas?

Christians don't give a hoot about who actually killed Christ. They believe all men are responsible, but it is the sacrifice of Jesus that is meaningful--not the who-did-what-to-whom.

To you it comes down to numbers, to Christians it comes down to an all-pervasive saturation of the entertainment industry with anti-Christian shinola. You see the Jews as potential victims of a movie, we see Christianity getting clobbered daily while the secular culture stands by and applauds.

As for "How dare they"--even you must admit it takes a lot of gall for the ADL to publicly criticize the Gospels accounts themselves. Its quarrel is apparently not with a movie but with Christianity itself.

I was taught, like almost every Christian who is living, that Jesus died at the hands of the Roman and Jewish leadership of the day. And yet Jews keep telling me that I was taught that "the Jews" killed Jesus and that I should hate them for it.

I have no problem with Jews voicing their concerns.

What I have a problem with is Jews telling me what I was taught.

What I have a problem with is Jews telling me what I believe.

It is a lie that I was taught that "the Jews" killed Jesus, and it is a lie that I believe that the entirety of the Jewish people are guilty of his death.

Why is it ok for Jews to express concern over a movie, but it isn't ok for Christians to point out the lies being told about our faith?
