First, Jesus was a Jew, so there's that. Second, were Jesus not put to death, wouldn't that interfere with the entire creation of the Christian religion?
When I was in 5th grade, I had a classmate who threatened to blow my face off with a shotgun because I was a "Christ killer." I had no idea what that even met and it had to be explained to me by my parents. Of course, the year before I wasn't allowed to attend the class Christmas party (I sat in the hallway) because it might hurt my feelings to be at an event celebrating the birth of someone we were responsible for killing. The "official" version given to my parent's is that they (the school) didn't want me to feel ostracized because I wasn't Christian. 
It is alarming, IMO, that 26% of the American public still harbor such stupidity. Then again, some of the other shit they believe about Jews is just as bad. See: http://www.democraticunderground.com/101677595
