The churches had a lot to do with it, especially as they were sevrrely anti-semitic in their propganda. But the civil authorities were heavily involved too as the Jews, being relatively few in number and politically weak, were a good source of shakedown money when finances were strained from the king's excesses and a good scapegoat when the king's idiocy lead to disaster.
The Jews were in a similar boat to other marginalised groups throughout Europe, hence why groups like the Romany got it just as bad in nazi Germany.
