The jews turned him in but when pontius pilate asked the crowd whether he should kill Jesus the crowd said yes and the crowd had quite a lot of Jews in it.

No, humanity in general because the meaning is lost by 'laying blame' on a particular race or sect. Besides... if it was "just the Jews" who killed Jesus, wouldn't it stand to reason that Jesus would then be the savior for "Jews only"??
Last time I checked, Jews don't believe that.

answer: You don't know much about Jews, either. Nothing about the "trial" in the Christian gospels is factual.
Who killed Jesus? Romans executed a rebel, that was fairly common at the time.
1. A night trial was illegal in both Judea and the Roman Empire
2. The basis for the charge of blasphemy against Jesus was unclear. This was necessary in order to prosecute according to Judean law.
3. The witnesses against Jesus did not agree and accordingly a mistrial must be declared.
4. A trial in a private residence was illegal in both Judea and the Roman Empire.
5. The Sanhedrin did not have the right to condemn anyone to death at this time.
6. A crucifixion would never have taken place at Passover.
7. Jesus’ anticipation of his death as a covenant sacrifice is out of Greek mythology, not the Jewish religion.
8. Pilate did not have a good reason to execute Jesus as “King of the Judeans.”
9. Again, there was only one high priest. There were no high priests.
10. There was no such thing as the high priest(s) joining in on the mocking of a prisoner while the prisoner is being punished.
11. There was no such custom in Judea as releasing a prisoner at Passover.
12. Prisoners condemned to crucifixion would carry the cross-bar, not the whole cross.
13. There was no such place as Golgotha at that time.
14. Jesus, or anyone else, would not be known as “Christ, the King of Israel.” The Messiah concept was a completely different idea.
15. Crucifixion was used only for seditionists, murderers and insurrectionists, not for religious reasons or “blasphemy”. Rome would never have approved of using crucifixion for punishment for local lawbreakers, only for those who were out to overthrow the Empire. Judean religious law as very specific as far as punishment for blasphemy. The punishment for blasphemy was stoning to death and the hanging of the body by the neck from a tree or impaling it on a stake.
16. Roman law denied burial to a crucified man consequently, Pilate would never have given Joseph of Aramathia permission to take Jesus’ body for it would have violated Roman laws.
17. When Jesus entered Jerusalem prior to the Passover, it was during the Feast of the Booths and that is the reason that the people were waving palm branches and yelling “Hosannah.”

Did you know that Jesus of the New Testament was a Jew? So were Mary, Joseph, and most of the rest of the all-star cast. That is assuming they were historical figures at all, and not fiction based on stories written years after their supposed lives were over.

The Jews turned him in. Then the Romans (Pontius Pilate) said to the Jews: "We shall either let a person convicted for triple homicide go free, or we shall let Jesus go free. You may decide."
And the Jews chose to set the triple homicide guy free. And the Romans crucified Jesus. And Jesus died from getting his lungs full of fluid.
That's what the bible says. Or at least how I, an atheist from birth, know the bible says it happened.
Seriously, know your own religion.
You decide who's guilty.

Pontius Pilot gave the Jews an option, kill Jesus and send Barabbas (a mass murderer) into freedom, or send Jesus free and keep Barabbas in jail. The jews chose to free Barabbas and kill Jesus.

Don't ever say "dang jews." That's offensive and racist. The Romans had many cultures to consider for voting. The multitude of all cultures under Roman rule had the choice to elect one culture to speak for all. The multitude of cultures voted the Jews to speak for all cultures under Roman oppression. They chose to free Barabbas over Jesus.

It was the Jews who feared him. Pontius Pilate, governor of Palestine,
was forced to carry out the crucifixion by the Sanhedrin or High Jewish
religious leaders to keep them quiet and obedient.
