The Israelite mixing with Europeans (assuming Europeans werent Israelite/Abrahamic to begin with) probably began well before Christ was even alive, considering the destruction and exile of the original Israel happened around the Babylonian captivity. I need to find the verse, but I think its somewhere in one of the wisdom or prophetic books that it says the Israelites ended up degenerating into paganism and mixing with the other nations after Israel was destroyed, the only remnants of the Israelite kingdom were the Samaritans, who were at odds with the Judeans of Judea.
The Samaritan thing -- Jesus revealed himself publicly to the woman at the well, in Samaria. He never said anything cross about the Samaritans, and even answered the question "Who is my neighbor?" by talking about a Samaritan.
The jews hated the Samaritans because in their eyes they were pagans. The Samaritans identified that the Romans and Greeks were really worshiping YHWH and identified that the jews had perverted the laws of Moses, just as Jesus said. This made the jews angry, because they believed that they were the "chosen ones", when in reality, Judah was promised nothing. Only Joseph had any promise of any significance, and Samaria used to be the homeland of the descendants of Joseph.
