There is an old, ingrained tradition (not found in the Bible) of equating the Palm Sunday crowd with the crowd that cried 'crucify him'
It crops up every year though a few have begun to expose it.
Here is a clear exposition of what is in Scripture vs. this common error.

That's a good point, especially because that sort of "Passion Play" narrative can feed anti-Semitic tropes that are unfortunately associated with Holy Week.
