Napoleon was actually quite famous for not killing Jews. There were actually numerous debates in Rabbinic Circles as to who was the greater curse to Jews: Emperor Napoleon or Czar Alexander II of Russia. Czar Alexander II was hated by some because he created numerous pogroms and instituted Anti-Semitic policies. Napoleon was hated by some because he made it perfectly acceptable to be Jewish and therefore created conditions under which Jews would naturally assimilate and lose their unique religion and tradition.
However, most Jews, especially Liberal or Secular Jews, hold Napoleon in high esteem for his emancipation of the Jewish community and his belief that Judaism was "just a religion" and that Jews were just as human as anyone else (as opposed to demonic, which was the common view).
