What cultural developments led to his hatred of Jews?
He had no real principles, and wrote whatever would be most beneficial for his secular patrons and through them himself personally, the protestant princelings of the HRE.That's why he condemned the peasant's rebellion too. With language that makes him in particular an enormous glowing hypocrite.Basically after glazing them early on when he still needed them, he turned on them and perpetuated the scapegoating and appeal to common Jew hate.You shouldn't take anything he released publicly at face value, he was a two faced snake in the grass and his personal writings reveal he was actively lying to his superiors while admiring to other correspondents his real intent.
"peasants have taken upon themselves the burden of three terrible sins against God and man; by this they have merited death in body and soul ... they have sworn to be true and faithful, submissive and obedient, to their rulers ... now deliberately and violently breaking this oath ... they are starting a rebellion, and are violently robbing and plundering monasteries ... which are not theirs ... they cloak this terrible and horrible sin with the gospel ... thus they become the worst blasphemers of God and slanderers of his holy name"It's highly ironic he didn't have enough self reflection to see how this applies directly to him.Replace "peasants" with Luther himself and all becomes clear.
