Historian explains why Jesus ''mythers'' aren't taken seriously by most Historians

[Minimalist]

It had absolutely nothing to do with getting people to hate the Jews.

You're missing the point.  They didn't have to get anyone to hate the Jews.  The Jews had already accomplished that all by themselves. 

"You are fond of saying that in the old days this same most high god made these and greater promises to those who gave heed to his commandments and worshipped him. But at the risk of appearing unkind, I ask how much good has been done by those promises have done either the Jews before you or you in your present circumstances. And would you have us put out faith in such a god? Instead of being masters of the whole world, the jews today have no home of any kind."
Celsus c 180

But the point of the gospel accounts is to a) absolve the Roman officials and b) blame the jews for killing their "god" and for demanding that it be done in what was the most shameful and dishonorable way imaginable.

I'm sorry if you can't see that but it is plain as day.
