GOD sent his SON and they mocked, scorned and murdered him by nailing him to a cross, not a hell of a lot has gone well for the Jews and there seems to be no group who really likes them.

All 12 Apostles were Jewish. Almost all his original followers were Jewish. Jewish lovers of Christ created the Christian religion. To attribute the death of Jesus to the Jews, without noticing his deification by some other Jews seems like cherry-picking your data.

WHen you say: and murdered him by nailing him to a cross - remind me if I am getting this wrong. Wasan't Jerusalem an occupied city in the midst of a large chunk of the expanded Roman Empire circa 30 A.D.. Was not the punishment of criminals the sole right of the Government at the time: that is the Romans? Doesn't the New Testament tell us that Pilate sentanced Jesus to die, and that Roman Centurians nailed him to the cross, just as they nailed the two other criminals who were sentenced to death by crucifiction at the same time? Wasn't it a Roman soldier who delivered the coup d'grace by using a spear to stab him in the abdomen?

That's how I remember it, but it's been a while since I read that part of the Bible. Jews were the peanut gallery.

The Romans fell to the Jewish demands to kill Jesus, because Pilate was fearful of a revolt, which Rome would not tolerate. Rome had enough of the problems in Israel.

Yes, the Jews, through and using the Roman proxy and legal system, killed Jesus.

Fairly plain to read.

Rome never once uttered “kill Jesus” by its own initiating.

Anyone will suggests otherwise is simply biased, or ill informed.
