: Palpatine could claim that the Jedi were killed by the Separatist forces, and use that to further enrage the populace. Or, he could make it look like the Jedi somehow attacked Republic ships, and use this to turn the galaxy against the Jedi Order.
He already has a good reason to turn the galaxy's wrath against the Jedi: it was them who actually started the Clone Wars!
