Don't even get me started on them...
What's your point by the way?

The romans distrust of the Hebrews begins with their refusal to accept other gods. The Emporer was a god. Therefore hebrews could not be trusted to remain loyal. When the empire converted to christianity, the stigma of condemming Christ to death was added. They became a conveinant scapegoat for everything that went wrong. Particuarly those that could not be explained by the science of the time. Today it is ingrained in us to believe so.

Do of you know why there are so many jews who are bankers?
This starts around the 7th century and it continuous on until about the 14th century. The jews migrated to Europe - now they were not allowed to own farms, they couldn't grow anything because they coldn't own land - you cant own land you can't obviously be a farmer. So they tried to be merchants but the Chistian merchants crowded them out and of course when you live in a christian theocracy of course the Christians are going to get favoritism.
So what the jews did is they became money lenders, now in a mercantile society money lenders are a necessity but the church didn't allow money lending for its parishiners, which encompassed the entire population except for the jews. So money lending was basically the only job they could do and they got good at it.
But you know of course debtors hate their creditors so any time there was some social upheaval everyone blamed the jews because everyone owed the jews money. When you owe someone money they make a convenient enemy. So what you have there is the beginning of your bs conspiracy theory that the jews are out to get you. And the beginning of the jews being tied to finance related fields. You have a jewish banker because his farther was a banker and his farther was a banker and his farther was a banker and so on and so on until you get down to the money lenders of the 7th through 14th centruies.
So there's a perfectly logical explanation why the jews are so powerful in the financial sector.
Hmm, I think that The Jews endeavour into finance started long before that, it would have been when Jews were the only group to practice usury. You see it was forbid by Muslims and Christians alike.
