Did you guys know when the followers of Jacob Frank got pushed out traditional judaism by the conservative rabbis, they ran to the Polish authorities, ingratiated themselves with them, and told them all the mischief the other jews had been doing, as revenge? That's the same source of early christian anti-judaic writing. Go to the Romans, tell them they're based and Yahweh loves them, and the other jews are the bad guys, now give thoughts and prayers to feed our spiritual vampire Yahweh. Look up the two pharasaic schools, Hillel and Shammai. Hillel pharisees wanted to convert the gentiles to a form of judaism that would follow the Noahide laws and still worship Yahweh, being active. The Shammai wanted to just sit tight and wait for their messiah to come and kill all the gentiles instead of mindfucking them to serve them. It's the same as the conflict between the zionist jews and anti-zionist jews, who aren't anti-zionist because they give a shit about Arabs, but because they think the whole world should be zion and the other guys are betraying yahweh by playing into the political thought of the gentiles wanting a nation-state.
It was always the catholic church that stepped in, the bishops and the popes, to stop pogroms, like during the crusades they passed a bull telling the crusders to leave the jews in Europe alone. If I recall, the Spanish inquisition was set up by the Spanish crown, without the pope's approval, and in fact Rome bitched about it quite a bit.
