In early Roman imperial times, conquered races were required to worship the Graeco-Roman gods. However, the Jews were treated as an exception in respect for the perceived antiquity of Judaism, and their decision not to pay homage to the Roman gods was tolerated. As a Jewish sect, the early Christians seem to have been provided the same tolerance. At this stage, the Romans did not distinguish between mainstream Jews and Christians. The Jewish uprisings of the late 60s and 130 CE resulted in punitive Roman responses, but these was not based on religious issues. They did, however, sour relations between the Jews and the Roman authorities. In the mid-first century, Nero is said to have blamed either the Jews or the Christians for the Great Fire of Rome, but there is no direct evidence of this. There is clearer evidence of a period of significant persecution of Christians by the Romans around the end of the first century. Mistreatment or persecution continued sporadically during the second and third centuries, usually depending on the person of the Emperor. In the third century, some Church property was transferred to the pagan temples. Some fundamentalist Christians seem to have sought to encourage their own martyrdom to gain entry into heaven. The Church had to discourage this practice. Once the Christians became dominant in the Roman Empire at the end of the fourth century, the position became reversed. All pagan temples and pagan property was transferred to the Christian Church. The Christian Church began a long period of persecution of pagans and Jews. Perhaps coincidently, this was the beginning of the period known as the Dark Ages. The Muslim conquerors generally tolerated Jews and Christians and did not demand conversion to Islam, as long as they paid a poll tax, which was based on the older Roman poll tax on non-Roman citizens. Followers of most other religions were forcibly converted. While life for Jews in the Muslim domains was far from perfect, a comparison with the mistreatment they faced in Christian Europe during the Middle Ages can be gauged by the mass migration of Jews from Christian Rome to then-Islamic Spain.
Adolf Hitler and his followers, the Nazis.
The same as American Jews and American Christians. It's about the faith.
At various times, Romans embraced, ignored or slaughtered Jews and Christians. Nero was notorious for persecuting Christians. Under Hadrian, at least half a million Jews died and many more were enslaved.
No single Event stabilized relations between Christians and Jew. When Christians stopped persecuting Jews in different regions of the world and spreading libelous information about Jews, relations improved.
Hitler belived that Germans were the superior to any other person. He hated any other person diffrent then them.
No, Christians do not reject Jews. However, Jews reject Christians.

The 1919 progroms against the Jews in Odessa, the Ukraine.
Christians believe that the Messiah Has Come. Jews believe that He Has not.
Christians believe Jesus is the messiah, Jews don't.
Jews are not Christians. Christians believe that Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah. Jews (and remember- Jesus was a Jew himself) believe that the Messiah has not yet come.
They had the power to persecute Jews and Christians if they had wanted to
No. It was OK for Christians like Antonio to spit on and mistreat Jews like Shylock, but it was not at all OK for the Jews to try to harm the Christians. Shylock had never tried to get back at Antonio (and through him all of the Christians who had mistreated him) because he had never before figured out a way to do it which would not backfire on Shylock. He thought he had figured out such a method with the pound-of-flesh bond, but he was wrong. It backfired, big time.
