Unfortunately for the Jews, however, he was the real deal - the Christ, the Son of God.
Whether you believe that or not is immaterial. To many, many generations it was unquestionable and unquestioned FACT. Just as it was that the Jews had him topped.
So, with hindsight, killing him was a somewhat unfortunate political decision. And the Jews would have every right to feel a touch aggrieved that they're still getting hammered for it were it not for the fact that they were the ones who came up with the whole 'The sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the sons' schtick.
You can't really be part of a religion that preaches that sort of mindless vengeance and then complain when people avenge the sins of your fathers upon you imo.
He may have had his motives for hatching this alleged plot, but all Jews get blamed.
Again, an error in retrospect you'd have to say.
