Nothing can be so simple historically fellow. You cannot speak about the Christians of Europe as if they were one people, with one sweeping spirit of hate, and one all-encompassing purpose to ban Jews from "entering their countries for Yrs."
Just as life for you right now is a nuanced, mixed bag of truth, fiction, love, hate, rebellion and repentance, life for the people of that age -- Christian or not, was the same. Some hated the Jews, some loved them. Some persecute them, some fought for them as God's Chosen people. Some Christians converted to Judaism -- some Jews converted to Christianity.
If we are to examine history with intellectual honesty and humility, we have to realize that
a) we were not there
b) we can not judge peoples' hearts, only God can
c) "events" that happened were not these black and white things that we can make categorical statements about
d) we can only gauge slices of the truth and make humble observations about the past.
So, think about yourself and your own life, and how your emotions, opinions, and beliefs are fluid and how your life changes dramatically at different points. That is how it was for every person in the past, whether Christian or Jew, muslim or pagan. In that realization, you will be able to take a more lucid look at what exactly happened, and why people really were moved to what you call "HATE."

The same hate that caused Jews from Egypt, Iraq, Yemen, Syria, and Libya to be expelled in the last century.

It is said that Jews killed Jesus Christ, hence why those of christianity hate Jews. It's also why no country was willing to take them in during WWII, which is why Hitler started to send them to death camps and to kill them because there was no place for them to go and he hated them.

Why are the Jews so full of HATE that they'll terrorize people of the same colour who are so poor they can't fight back? For CENTURIES?
Jews hate. Just like everyone else. People hate. Jews aren't special, they're just like every other human. Ignorant and afraid.
