God didn't choose the Jews to kill Jesus. God gives everyone a free will, we all choose our own ways. The Jews chose to kill Jesus, the Romans wanted to let Him go.
It was the religious leaders that did it, they were jealous of Him. They would lose all of their monies, and all the people would follow Him, if they allowed Him to continue in His ministry.

Because they were around to do the job.
But seriously, consider the words, "Let his blood be upon us and our children." If it's the blood that saves, then that's very interesting.
And the High Priest of that time, "it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish."
But your question implies that you doubt that it was the will of God. Do you only believe the scriptures that say he was killed? Or do you also believe the scriptures where he expresses knowledge of what was to come? Yet he goes through it, willingly. And he prays that the "cup" which he is about to "drink" from may be taken away from him and given to another. Yet he finishes this thought with, "may your will be done." So, if he was a righteous man and a prophet, even the son of God who even knew that this was to come, why would God not give him a way out, unless it was God's will?

Ok, here are the facts...
the pharases, (Jewish hypocritical religious leaders) sent Jesus to death because they thought He was a blasfemer... the Romans toutured and killed Jesus...
God sent His Son to take the punishment for mans sins... a perfect sinless man died, Jesus, so that everyone may be forgiven IF they accept Jesus as Lord....
Of course God raised Jesus from the dead.... He is alive and well... in heaven... and His comming is very soon, sooner than ever...
All of this happened to fufill Bible prophesy...
God bless

God cursed the Jews before Jesus was ever born. Maybe by putting this terrible thing on them to endure is a way of forgiving them. Making them his chosen people above all others for it.

Jesus was a Jew, and even though the Jews persecuted Jesus they are still God's chosen people.

This comes up over and over. Jesus was executed by the Romans for crimes against the state. He went around shooting off his mouth that he was greater than Caesar. At that time and place it called for the death penalty.
The Jews didn't like him because he claimed that he was God. But it was the Romans who executed him.

God didn't make or choose them to kill Jesus. They exercised their free will and made the wrong choice.

He didn't. The Romans killed him. "The Jews" didn't kill him, the Jewish leaders persuaded the Romans to kill him. The Jewish people were not to blame for their actions any more than the North Korean civilians are to blame for Kim Jong Il's tyranny.

The Roman soldiers killed Jesus, but that's not the important thing. Jesus came to earth to die for our sins so we could go to heaven.

You mean Hitler was trying to defend Jesus? He is trying to get revenge for what the Jews did?
