>Muslims were invading Europe over 1000 years before the state of Israel was born
Jews were gifted a Banking Monopoly. They repaid Christians by holding the door open for Muslim invaders.
The Golden Age of Spain didn't start with Columbus in 1492. No gold showed up from New World until after 1521 and old King Ferd had been dead for 7yrs.
The Golden Age started when Spain expelled Jews, and suddenly "peace broke out" between Spain and Moors, and Spain became middleman between North Africa and rest of Europe.
The degree of complicity that the Jews had in the Islamic invasion in 711 is uncertain, but since they were openly treated as enemies in the country in which they had resided for generations, it would be no surprise for them to have appealed to the Moors to the south, who were quite tolerant in comparison to the Visigoths, for aid. In any case, the Jews in 694 were accused of conspiring with Muslims across the Mediterranean.
