Like how Christians blamed and killed Jews in Europe during the plague.

No, most of the false accusations pertained to blasphemy and similar offenses. Although many Christians were killed directly by the Jews (for example, the Christians who refused to renounce Jesus and fight during the Bar Kohkba rebellion), most were killed by Romans as a direct result of Jewish influence. "The Martyrdom of Polycarp" (an early Church father) is but one of many examples.
EDIT: From the thumbs down, I deduce at least two people have never read about the Bar Kohkba rebellion or Polycarp's martyrdom. Here's an excerpt from the latter:
12:3 Then it seemed good unto them to shout with one voice that Polycarp should be burnt alive; for it was necessary that the vision that appeared unto him on his pillow should be fulfilled, when seeing it burning, he prayed, and said prophetically, turning to the faithful who were with him, I must be burnt alive.
CHAPTER 13
13:1 These things, therefore, happened with so great rapidity, that they took less time than the narration, the multitude quickly collecting logs and brushwood from the workshops and baths, the Jews especially lending their services zealously for this purpose, as is their custom.

Yes the Pope did make a decree that the Germanic Jews tainted their water supply thus causing the Black plague, and in turn causing the slaughter of millions of Jews by Christians. Im not certain if it ever was the other way around

You are a riot. Thanks for the inadvertent entertainment Niki.
Again, the questions you pose demonstrate an inordinate amount of misinformation and purposeful misdirection.
I really hope you can find the time to do a little more research and determine whether these "Christians" who you say did these things were in fact true to Christ. If not then perhaps you have been taking stabs at the wrong people and maybe your anger is really at people who make the claim of being Christian but are in truth anything but.
And then you've wasted all this time being angry at the wrong group.

they might have, but they whine about so much it was likely dismissed.
