Radical Islamic militancy and fundamentalist Jewish settlers aren't really ironic extensions of their original religions. They're insane without irony.
Televangelists preaching Jesus' Gospel while asking their followers for millions of dollars is insane and ironic.

Remember that throughout the Old Testament, the prophets proclaimed Jesus' coming, that he would not be accepted by his people, that he would suffer and be crucified. It was God's plan that this would happen. You cannot blame the Jews for what God had planned to happen.

prophets
I wonder where u got the idea that Jewish prophets were angels? The only prophet even remotely resembling an angel might be Elijah, who, as legend has it, ascended alive to heaven(every religion has someone who did this, btw). All the others(and there were many) were clearly mere mortals. In fact, many of Israel's prophets were killed(never to return) by the kings who saw them as athreat to their sovereignty or political agenda(for instance Ahab and Jezebel killed hundreds of them).
I always find discussions on religion kind of funny, because inevitably, the overwhelming majority of opinions offered are by people who don't really know anything about the subject. But then again, I suppose that is true about any topic.
