Well the Romans executed Christ after he was turned in to them by the Jewish authorities (who felt threatened.) I think a lot of people don't get that. Authorities wanted him dead, not the masses.
The same masses who greeted him with palms cheared his torture and death though.
BUT I've always felt that that section of the bible is more about mankind than the jewish.
I had a very conservative jewish friend (anti-palestinian, zionist, pro-Sharon) who didn't like my view. He had a staunch believe that the jewish authorities would never do anything wrong. Which made very little sense to me because I think Christian authorities do things wrong all time, which is part of why I don't go to church.
