Sejarah penindasan sunting

Umat Kristen membenci Yahudi karena mereka tak percaya Yesus Kristus. Kebijakan gereja resmi melindungi Yahudi karena Yesus lahir dari ras Yahudi. Namun pada kenyataannya, Yahudi menjadi target penekanan Kristen. Saat wabah menerjang belahan Eropa pada pertengahan abad ke-14, melenyapkan nyaris setengah populasi, Yahudi dicap sebagai kambing hitam, karena mereka tampak kurang berdampak ketimbang suku bangsa lainnya. Tuduhan menyebar bahwa Yahudi menyebabkan penyakit tersebut dengan meracuni sumur.
