I honestly don't think this is a concern. Certain activists have planted this idea in the minds of the public as a way of protesting the film. But there's nothing to indicate that it's a real possibility
Passion plays go on every year at Easter time. (Kiddie Easter pageants at churches, parades and processions in ethnic neighborhods, etc.) You mentioned Zefferelli's "Jesus of Nazareth". Then there are old time classics like "King of Kings", "The Robe", and "Barrabas", each taking a different degree and direction of poetic license.
Has any of these ever caused increased violence against any American Jewish community? No. Thus, I dont' think it will be the case this time either.
