So you think he’s talking about the Romans or something? Makes zero sense.
And your argument is, what, that the News turned Jesus in but didn’t directly kill him?
It’s not a question of potential. The words are outright offensive, in fact, in reality. And they’re pure discrimination, too. Even if some group of people did something shady 2000 years ago, why does that have anything to do with people today? It doesn’t, unless…

Saying “they” vs “we” would make me think he means a group he isn’t a part of. Now what that group is could be debated, could even be as broad as white people or foreigners or friends/people close to you. Hard to know without context, but the fake friends hashtag does somewhat allude to being back stabbed by people close to you (though one could apply the term friends to any group too).
I think his excuse makes sense, but I also understand how people could easily jump to assuming Jews (I’ll admit that would be my first gut reaction)
Read the article. Not every casual tweet has to have monumental importance.
He wasn’t talking about Jewish people at all. His only fault here is failing to see how easily his poor choice of words would be misinterpreted by the internet outrage machine.
