There were 4 gospels, if something only happens to appear in one of them, especially in one that is considered to have an anti-Jewish slant, it does not seem historically accurate.

Of course he can do what he pleases, did anyone say he couldn't? People are allowed to criticise a piece of work if they feel it is inflammatory or racist, also. Would you use the same excuse if a KKK member made a film consisting of racist propaganda dressed as historical fact? The fact is, he included a line that has been used for centuries as a crutch to beat the Jewish people with, when he said he wouldn't.

Also, the lines weren't spoken in Hebrew. They were uttered in Aramaic, from what I hear, which is still spoken in parts of the Middle East, including Syria which is none too fond of Israel.
