"who killed the prophets"

By accusing the jews of admitting that they were the children, or descendants, of those who killed the prophets, Jesus separated Himself from them racially by implying that He was NOT a descendant of those same people.  Either that, or Jesus was incredibly disingenuous, criticizing them as descendants of those who killed the prophets even though He Himself was also.  So who was it who killed the prophets who the jews were descendants of and Jesus was not?  If you believe Jesus was of the House of Judah, which some claim are called "jews", then the jews or Pharisees were NOT of the House of Judah.   Were they of the House of Israel?  Would the Edomite jew King Herod have appointed someone of the House of Israel as chief priest?  Of course not.

If you believe Jesus was of the House of Israel and not the House of Judah, then you could claim that these jews were of the House of Judah, and that this was the difference in ancestry Jesus was referring to.  This would imply that, when Jesus said they were "not of my sheep", that Jesus didn't consider Israelites of the House of Judah to be "of my sheep":

Mat 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous,

Mat 23:30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

Mat 23:31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.

The enmity between the House of Israel and the House of Judah caused them to kill each other by the hundreds of thousands, even half a million in ONE battle, for centuries.   But to say Israelites are "not of my sheep" implies that they are not even of His same race.  Even though both Houses fought and hated each other for millennia, they never became, nor ever considered themselves to be, separate races or "sheep".  As descendants of Jacob, all Israelites of both Houses, ARE "of my sheep" and Jesus would never have accused a fellow Israelite, not even of the House of Judah, of being "not of my sheep":

John 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

John 10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

So exactly who:

1. Were not descendants of Jacob?
2. Were the ancestors of the jews/Pharisees?
3. Were not Israelites?
4. Were close enough to the temple to be able to kill the prophets?
5. Followed the traditions of the elders which Jesus roundly and righteously condemned?
6. Disobeyed the command or word of God?
7. Adopted the name "jew" at the time of the Babylonian captivity?
8. Had enough political influence to prevent the Israelites from rebuilding the temple after the captivity?
9. MAY have been descendants of the "nikro" wives and such as are born of them who were put away by the Israelites?
10. HATES all Israelites of both houses?
11. Includes, or ARE, the race which was brought from Babylon when the Israelites were taken captive?
12. Collaborated to kill Jesus just as their ancestors collaborated to kill the prophets?
13. Were never righteously punished for all the Israelites they killed?
14. Continue to enjoy special rights and privileges in many Israelite nations, using their crying rag as a weapon?
15. Follows the despicable TalMUD, which is derived from the despicable "traditions of the elders"?

Who are those who killed the prophets?  JEWS!  Not Israelites of the House of Israel, and not Israelites f the House of Juda.  JEWS, "they who say they are jews and are not but are of the synagogue of SATAN"!
