Uh, OK. Obviously I was far too oblique here.

What I was hinting at was the Streisand Effect.

Streisand effect: phenomenon in which an attempt to censor, hide, or otherwise draw attention away from something only serves to attract more attention to it. The name derives from American singer and actress Barbra Streisand’s lawsuit against a photographer in 2003, which drew attention to the photo (of her house) that she was suing to have taken off the Internet.

By they do you mean the Romans? Here's Peter preaching to his fellow "Jews" on the Day of Pentecost: Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. (Acts 2:23-24 KJV).

Roman soldiers carried out the execution but it was at the request of the Jewish religious leaders. As you might recall Pilate could not find any fault with Jesus and wanted to release him. But the Jewish crowd cried out "crucify him, crucify him".
