It has a feel of AI...

Islam will stoop to ANY depth to smear its ancient enemy.

During the Roman occupation of Judea, Jews fought gurrilla warfare, they, wanted a WAR leader to drive the Roman's out of their land.

Jesus preached 'turn the other cheek', as opposed to 'an eye for an eye'

Jesus also recognized that Rome brought benefits to the region - roads, reliable water supplies, sanitation, public amenities - public security... The ruling Jews did not want to acknowledge those benefits, for giving up their power, so, they arranged to have Jesus turned in as a problem to the Roman's - his popularity being used as the reason he should be seen as a 'threat' to Rome.

Pontius Pilate tried to adjust the optics by having the MOB chose who they wanted freed... they picked what THEY saw as a war leader (Barabas - called a robber - but he robbed the Roman's not the Jews.)

Politics, and optics, lies and smears, just as we have today... but now Islam is running the media show.

You can't let the Jews off the hook so easily, Both Jews and Muslims hate Christians. Muslims may have the oil but the Jews have the banks, Hollywood, music, media, CIA, MOSSAD, MI6, and own Washington.
