I remember going to the holocausts museum in Berlin about 20 years ago and maybe some of it was my German not being 100%, but they had this interactive exhibit detailing the history of the Jews and Europe and the reasons why people disliked them and thinking "Damn I can see why they weren't liked."

You see with there being two architypes of prophets in the Bible. The ones that are warning the elders & leaders, "Hey we keep treating those around us like shit they're going to get tired of it eventually and bad things will happen to us if we don't change our ways". Shortly followed by Jerusalem being sacked and the Temple burned to the ground again. Then you get the "Woe is we who are lost, but keep the faith for we shall see the promised land again" types for the next half millennium. Then they retake Jerusalem and the cycle repeats.
