A curious state of affairs……

“Many American Christians, particularly evangelicals, strongly support Israel due to a combination of religious beliefs, perceived fulfillment of biblical prophecy, and strategic geopolitical considerations. This support is often rooted in Christian Zionism, which links the existence of the modern state of Israel with the second coming of Jesus Christ. “
“Judaism does not accept Jesus Christ as a representative of God, the Messiah, or the Son of God. Jews believe in the absolute unity and singularity of God, and consider the Christian concept of the Trinity and Jesus’ divinity to be a form of idolatry, which is forbidden in Judaism. Additionally, Jewish eschatology, which outlines the characteristics of the Messiah and the Messianic Age, has not been fulfilled by Jesus according to Jewish interpretation. “

“Yet , according to the Gospels, it was Jewish religious leaders, specifically the chief priests and elders, who initially brought Jesus to the Roman authorities, specifically Pontius Pilate, and requested his crucifixion. They did this because they viewed Jesus as a threat to their religious authority and social order.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
Jewish Leaders’ Concerns:
The Jewish leaders, particularly the high priest Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin, believed Jesus was blaspheming by claiming to be the Son of God and challenging their authority. They also feared that his popularity could lead to unrest and potentially provoke a Roman crackdown.
Denunciation to Pilate:
The Jewish leaders, including the chief priests and elders, handed Jesus over to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, and accused him of claiming to be “King of the Jews,” which was a direct challenge to Roman authority.
Roman Involvement:
While the Jewish leaders initiated the process, it was Pilate who ultimately had the authority to order Jesus’s crucifixion. He initially tried to avoid the decision, but under pressure from the crowd (incited by the Jewish leaders), he ultimately condemned Jesus to death.”
“The Rabbis did not use specific Old Testament passages to put Jesus to death. Instead, they are believed to have used passages from the Hebrew Bible to justify their condemnation of Jesus, primarily focusing on accusations of blasphemy and false prophecy.”

It was Jesus Christ who was handed over to the Roman governor by the religious establishment at the time , those who could not understand the truths he was speaking, “old establishment ” is a problem throughout history , those priest desperately looked through their scriptures and gave fake and twisted interpretations to their followers and the Roman governments , and demanded the death of Jesus .

Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja also established Gaudia Vaisnavism and within Vrndavana itself , and many of the establishment, either in their methods and interpretaion of how to conduct Bhajan , particuarly one’s personal life standards , were challenged by Srila Bhaktisiddanta . He also pointed out their incorrectly interpreting how Varna Ashram should be applied , it in reality should be based on someone’s quality, not birth , thus, social and spiritual mobility is key to understanding Varna Ashram.
Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja had rocks thrown at him and his followers, and in different parts of India, his life was threatened.
Truth is hard to bear for old establishments or those who have demonic tendencies , but who Mahaprabhu has come to give benedictions to
