Best Answer

Jews in Europe were fearful of the Crusades, mostly because the Crusaders had been driven to the point of fanaticism and often took that out on Jewish communities in Europe or the Middle East. The number of attacks on Jewish ghettos skyrocketed during the years of the Crusades and Jews, unable to legally defend themselves or procure arms, were often slaughtered.
