That moment when you realize millions of jews became Christians in His time, and only the thousands were the persecutors. The visible crowds before the pharisees and romans were calling for His execution, not the vast majority.
Matthew 27:22-25 reports on the topic: "'What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called Christ?' Pilate asked. They all answered, 'Crucify him!' 'Why? What crime has he committed?' asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, 'Crucify him!' When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. 'I am innocent of this man's blood,' he said. 'It is your responsibility!' All the people answered, 'Let his blood be on us and on our children!'"
In Acts 2 Peter delivers a sermon on the day of Pentecost, addressing the people of Israel. And Peter says to them, “Men of Israel…Hear these words…this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men” In other words, Peter is telling the Jews that they were responsible for the crucifixion and death of Jesus.
You are responsible too. You have sinned. I have sinned. We ALL are responsible for the crucifixion of Christ. We make His sacrifice necessary every time we sin.
The same passage notes that the hardening is partial, God has not abandoned the Jews forever, and the ones living at the second coming will adopt Jesus and be saved.
Romans 11.

Even Christ himself asked God's forgiveness for them all as he hung on the cross.

Because every jew was was in attendance, right? All of them in one place, to witness and call for the crucifixion? All of them?

So are you saying the KJV Bible is lying to us?
I am stating you are misinterpreting it and are falling into satan's trap of division.
He's saying that Christ died for the sins of all mankind. None are righteous, not one, remember?
Hebrews notes that those who sin after conversion crucify Christ again.
I see them as imperfect beings worthy of forgiveness. And you? Would you put yourself in God's place in the seat if judgement?
No forgiveness after you traffic and/or fuck a kid. Mercy is a fast death after a day and fair trial
Mans justice is a separate issue. Mercy is a last chance before execution from this mortal realm into God's hands to judge the second death.
