The Jews were traditionally targeted because they were Jews by religion first. Second they were more educated than the other populations. Third, they were despised based on the professions they WERE allowed to practice and fourth, some were financially well off. It was jealously combined with Church-inspred crusades and hared of the Jews for their supposed “betrayal” of Christ (the Jew).
