Yes, I definitely should have mentioned the segregation by profession, too— so Jews also had fewer professional ties, even, as well.

And Jewish magic as well as the ‘they killed Jesus’ thing was often used as an excuse for Jewish persecution, but I do think that the majority of anti-Jewish pogroms and purges and slaughters in history have been driven by the leaders, not from the common people. The leaders exploited the fear and hatred.
