The cause for anti-Semitism that existed during the middle ages was the result of the anti-Semitism that existed for centuries before, by and large. Anti-Semitism was not new to the middle ages, it had existed since well into the early history of Judaism. Some credit its birth to the conflict between Jacob and Esau, some to the rivalry between Ishmael and Isaac. It could be argued that its momentum rose after the death of Christ, and the mistaken notion that the Jews killed him. Fact is, the Roman government crucified Christ, elements of the Jewish community simply sold him out.
