Who killed Jesus?

[vulcanlogician]

I'm pretty sure most True Christians subscribe to this:

I never got how certain Christians hold the crucifixion against the Jews....

First of all, the belief that "the Jews killed Christ" is a fairly ambiguous one, and in some roundabout fashion seems to implicate all Jews (even those living in modern times) in the crime. Methinks it's just justification for one's desire to alienate an out-group.

Second, the whole thing was supposedly orchestrated by celestial forces. The "lamb's blood" needed to be shed for the new and everlasting covenant, right? It's really stupid to fault Jews for their participation in something that was divinely ordained. According to the Gospels, when Peter suggested to Jesus that he try to avoid being crucified, Jesus called him "Satan." WTF, people! If a Jew participates in the crucifixion he's called a "Christ killer" and if he tries to stop it, he's "Satan." Damned if you do, damned if you don't...
