Just wanted to step in here. Realistically, if anyone is responsible for Jesus' death, it is God Himself. If you truly believe in the bible, God gave us His only son, whose blood was to be shed for mankind. It was preordained that He would die in the manner He did, and then rise to take His place at the right hand of The Father. If you believe this to be true, then whoever sentenced Jesus to death and carried out His execution was only fulfilling the role that God had in mind for them.
The point (at least mine) wasn't who was to blame
per se, rather, that by portraying something as historically accurate, the
Passion was accused of anti-semitism.
