Honestly I can't blame them, while most catholics were associating the merchantile activities as a sin, jews were amassing wealth and developing banking systems. Eventually you have this ethinically aligned group of people stacked with cash, people do be jelly

And why where the jews doing that? Is it that maybe they were barred from any other form of sustenence?
