Christians in Europe had been habitually persecuting Jews for some centuries before Shakespeare's time. In England, all of the Jews had been expelled from the country some years before, so there were very few Jews, all of whom nominally belonged to the Church of England (as everyone did in England at that time). They were not generally mistreated for their Jewish background, unless you count being forced to adopt someone else's religion.
Forced conversions were fairly standard in Christendom at that time.
Many Christian people had vague recollections of anti-Jewish slanders, such as the accusation that they had "killed Jesus" or that Jews poisoned wells and used the blood of Christian babies to make matzohs, all of which was, of course, untrue. However, the ignorant and credulous are always with us.

It was not a routine activity. It became very marked for the first (?) time during the First Crusade (1095-96), but was later condemned by the Church. However, I'm not sure that the motive was avenging the death of Christ. The Jews were seen as 'infidels' rather like the Muslims.

How did Jesus create a division from Judaism?
AnswerThere was no division of Christians from Judaism during the time attributed to Jesus, or for some decades afterwards. The final split seems to have come in the 90s of the first century CE, when Christians were barred from attending the synagogues. The principal reason appears to be that the Christians had begun to blame the Jews for the death of Jesus - even Jews who were not present in Jerusalem or who were not even alive at the time.
What tensions arose between the early Christians who were nearly all Jewish and Jews?
Most Jews at the time, and for centuries afterward, never heard of Jesus. But for those who did, the Christian narratives quote him as saying things that are not in keeping with Jewish tradition and beliefs. The primary tension between early Christians and Jews was whether or nor Jesus was the Messiah.
