In the Gospel of Matthew, a mixed group of elite Jews and street Jews (similar to Kenosha cannon fodder) screamed to Pilate that the blood guilt of murdering the Son of God would be on their own heads and those of their descendants forever. However, since those particular Jews were corrupt and murderous already, they had no legal authority to commit God's future judgment in such a manner. Gibson, under pressure, took that particular phrase out of the final cut.

In John's Gospel, he called those people "The Jews." I suspect he was being a bit sarcastic, as they controlled the temple, sometimes controlled the holy city with riots, and essentially thought they were the only real Jews. There were lots of other Jews in Jerusalem, Judea, Galilee, Damascus, Cyprus, Egypt, and even in Rome. They never got a say in all this.
