Spain did not want to repay Jews for the war.

Good point, this was the pattern in many countries, times and places. Since Christianity did not allow interest payments, nobody wanted to lend money, so they the borrowed from the Jews (who by the way were not allowed to own land which they could use for economic activity) and then found ways to not pay them back. Talk about beating a dog, and then complaining that he is viscious!!

Familiar in light of Palestine, i.e. biting the hand that feeds you (i.e. collects your taxes).
