Jews got a bum deal
if jesus knowingly came down to earth to die for humanity's sins, and someone had to help him do it (unless of course you condone suicide), why aren't christians praising the jews for having helped him out?
can you imagine what a creek jesus would have been up if the mob hadn't chosen barabbas.

Your post reminds me of the Gospel of Judas. In it, God used Judas Iscariot as an instrument to save mankind from its sins by betraying Jesus.
The Jews were called Christ Killers The Jews never killed the Christ. They voted, if that story is true, killed a man...And because they wouldn't take the blame for the fable of this Christ, as they still know it to be a fable today, the Church which had all the power a few centuries later placed that label on them.
If Jesus needed to die, like all the other fables attached, then the Jews should be praised. But then Jesus came to die, so he committed suicide, but then again he was sent to die, so his dad committed murder, or then again, it was because of you that he came, so You are the murderer..But if God was god, and knowing all things, he would of never put that tree there.......Unless god likes to play chess and we are only pawns anyway.
Was Jesus crucified for breaking the law of the Hebrews, by healing the sick and comforting the poor on the Sabbath. Is this the source of anti-Semitism?
Actually, that's not true at all. It is true that Christians typically make the these claims as reasons why Jesus was crucified, but are not the actual credible claims made `"in scripture."
Assuming that he really was crucified at all, the gospels show that he was crucified (not a Jewish, but a Roman punishment reserved exclusively for those guilty of crimes against the empire), in accordance with Roman (not Jewish) laws, by Romans (not Jews), for breaking a Roman (not Jewish) law forbidding sedition against the Roman Empire.
The actual reason for the crucification is clearly stated in John 19:12 as: "every one who makes himself a king sets himself against Caesar."
In other words, sedition. Also in Luke 23:2, "And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.";

Good post, btw.
...charming.
As for the OP, it's a rather over-simplistic argument, isn't it? Debbijo's as well. In Tiananmen Square, a protestor stood in front of a Chinese tank, knowing that he would die as a result. He did. Do we say that he committed suicide? Do we say that we should give accolades to China, because this protestor had apparently decided to die for his beliefs, and they were merely helping him along? Do we whine that the protestor is "sadistic," because if he had just submitted to authority, he wouldn't have died, and does he want the tank driver to feel guilty, and is he screwing with his head?
What utter malarky.
