Many other Jewish leaders were preaching violent resistance to the Romans (later to culminate in the Revolt of 66-70 CE and the Bar Kochba Revolt at a later date); those were the ones the Romans "wanted out of their hair". Why would they want to get rid of someone who encouraged the Jews to pay their taxes and be peaceful and obedient? Sure, he's promising a "Kingdom of Heaven", but so far as the Romans were concerned that was all false anyway.
Besides, they control the banks. The Romans, that is.
