I have a hard time understanding Jewish objections to the film. I thought at first that they were offended by Gibson's leaving in the speech by Caiaphas in Matthew which was turned by the ignorant into a belief in "blood libel."

But now that it's been taken out, that doesn't seem to have improved matters.

Do they object to the teachings in the Gospels about the Sanhedrin requesting that the Romans crucify Jesus, period?

The opposition is to the historicity of the Gospels themselves. It is anti-Christian bigotry disguised as a fear of anti-Semitism. It fits in with the liberal agenda to reduce faith to a common denominator wherein all belief-systems, Jew and Christian, can comfortably meld together.
