Did the Jews put Jesus to death?
Before the Romans crucified him, there was a trial for Jesus to be tried upon.
Was it the Jews? (Matthew 27:24–25, John 5:16–18)
They even stoned the first martyred saint and Jesus's brother apparently. Maybe a Jewish sect but still Jews no less, a group anyway.
The more I read about this the more I think it was religious conflict and desert hallucinations that lead to the creation Jesus as some ethereal symbol for religion altogether. Since the Quran mentions Jesus as well, I wonder if Jews, Muslims (Egyptians/Syrians?), Christians all lived amongst each other during Roman reign and saw similar events as one would in a diverse part of the Middle East.
