To be fair, the "problem" with Jews in Europe was predominantly an issue created by the larger Christian population. The Jewish people generally wanted to be left alone. Before the modern era some unscrupulous monarchs did use the Jewish population to their own ends which didn't help engender any good will with the general population. Non-Christians were allowed to do some things Christians weren't (such as working on Sundays and loaning money for interest) and monarchs would take advantage of that.
It's easy to heap blame on one side or the other in this because both sides have had bad actors that have perpetuated the conflict. It's easy to isolate the actions of one side and say they are to blame. IMO it's been a constant ratcheting up and down for years. One side's bad actors does something, the other side reacts, the first side reacts to that, etc. Eventually things cool off for a while until the cycle starts again.
In reality the majority of the population on both sides would prefer peace. Most people prefer to be left alone to live their lives. But because a minority has to keep doing things that get a reaction from the other peace is impossible. The bad actors on both sides have no interest in a two state solution and do everything they can to sabotage any movement towards a two state solution.
The situation reminds me of the Star Trek TOS episode "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield"
Let That Be Your Last Battlefield - Wikipedia
The fight is deadly serious to those in the middle of it, but incomprehensible to those on the outside looking in.
