Are there Christians who are mad at Jews for killing Jesus?
I am a Christian and I view Jews as brethren of the Christian faith. I was wondering if there are Christians out there who are mad at Jews for killing Jesus. Technically, it was the Romans who killed Jesus not Jews. Plus, Jews are called "God's chosen people". Most Christians have a favor view of Jews and Judaism.

Not real ones.
Those who know their Bible know that the Jewish People are God's Chosen people. To "mess with" them - you are really messing with God. "Whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye. ..." Zechariah 2.8
Tons more scriptures that I could quote on this...
1) Genesis 12:3 "And I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all nations of the earth be blessed." Point: God has promised to bless the man or nation that blesses the Chosen People. History has proven beyond reasonable doubt that the nations that have blessed the Jewish people have had the blessing of God; the nations that have cursed the Jewish people have experienced the curse of God.
2) Look at the Apostle Paul’s LOVE for his unbelieving people!!
“For I could wish that myself were accursed from [Messiah] for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: Who are Israelites” (Romans 9.2)
3) “Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious.” (Romans 11.11)
4) Believers in Jesus owe the Jewish people a debt of gratitude for the blessings we have received from them. As Yeshua (Jesus) clearly said, "Salvation is from the Jews" (John 4:22).
5) It is not possible to say, "I am a Christian" and not love the Jewish people. The Bible teaches that love is not what you say, but what you do. (1 John 3:18) "A bell is not a bell until you ring it, a song is not a song until you sing it, love is not love until you share it."
6) Jesus considered the Jewish people His family. Jesus said (Matthew 25:40) "Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren (the Jewish people… Gentiles were never called His brethren), ye have done it unto me.
7) Now - this does not mean that believers in Jesus accept the Jewish religion. (For both logically cannot be true at the same time. Either Jesus was the Messiah or He was not.) It is more like a child who has run away from home. Even though they might not be living in a right relationship with their father - you had better NOT touch them or the Father will still say, "Don't mess with my child." And you have His wrath to contend with.

It isn t the Jews fault Blaming Jews for killing Jesus reflects a lack of knowledge of the time period. A minority of Jewish radicals had assassinated the High Priest - this is essentially like killing the pope because he supported peace with Rome.
Until radicals overtook Jerusalem, Jews would pay taxes to Romans and submit to their governance, but the Temple would remain autonomous. Most Jews supported this.
Radicals killed the High Priest, most of the High Court and instituted their own people. They also killed any Jew who would not fight the Romans with them. By the time Jesus was born, the overwhelming majority of Jews had left, and remember most Jews never returned for the Second Temple. By 0 AD country was in a state of chaos.
Shortly after Jesus died, the radicals went so far as to wipe out Jerusalem s entire food supply, thinking that if God sees women and children dying, he would intervene. Many times more Jews died from starvation than from the Roman siege, and very few people alive at the time of Jesus death survived the Roman siege. Essentially it s extremely unlikely that many, if any Jews today are descendants of those who killed Jesus.

I'm not mad at the Jewish race for something some people that happened to be Jews did a long time ago.
I think killing God is a sin though, and those specific people I don't particularly like. (though it had to be done)
The Romans killed Jesus, but they did it because the Jews chanted for it so persistently.

That is very recent. It only started changing in the last half of the 20th century. Before that most Christians reviled, mistrusted, oppressed, marginalized, and at times killed Jews.
UPDATE: A lot them were like Jackass Covie here. He is still holding on to the hate along with some others.

God had a Covenant with the Jews, which Jesus fulfilled.
Since the Jews rejected Jesus and God's covenant with them was fulfilled, Jews today have to come to God exactly the same way everyone else has to.
Jesus said: "No one comes to the Father except through ME".... John 14:6 ... God does not hear the prayers of anyone who denies his Son, Jew or otherwise. .

Well, hindsight is just fine and dandy, but seriously - it might have looked like a good idea to them at the time, but most people would say that maybe it was the wrong thing to do.

First, it was the Romans who killed Jesus. Secondly, there is no-one alive today who was in any way responsible for His death.

The Jewish leaders of the time DID>
And the race is no longer chosen.
(Acts 10:35) but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.
