The ADL has freedom of speech too. But it’s a fact that the Gospels make the Jews look a lot worse than the Romans in the events surrounding Jesus’ death. I’ve always found it implausible myself.

Jewish leaders saw Jesus as a threat, the Romans did not.

Jesus went to the Temple and preached directly against the Jewish leadership. When it came to the political leadership of the Romans, Jesus said "give to Caesar what is Caesar's, give to God what is God's". Jesus had shown himself to the Romans to be solely interested in changing the religious order, not the political.
