The extent in which Jews were money lenders is often exaggerated and not to mention, people forget that many Jews were at various times excluded from many professions. Many Jews were also physicians, lawyers, school teachers, dentists, etc.

Not Ashkenazi Jews in the Middle Ages or even up to the late 18th or early 19th century. You're speaking of the last two centuries when there was a lack of restrictions for Ashkenazi Jews.

They were quite renowned to fill in career gaps. You cannot compare the Jews in Europe and the Middle East to unemployed immigrants seeking welfare cheques. Did I? Or perhaps you didn't read what I said correctly. Middle men minorities are seen as parasites by host populations. That doesn't mean I'm comparing them to "unemployed immigrants seeking welfare cheques." Did you actually read what I wrote?

I believe part of the disliking was partially at a smaller scale envy related, but probably more so with regards to their exclusivity, which may have appeared as anti-social to many Europeans. I think its a shame people forget how Jews frequently fought wars with their host people and readily adopted many local customs. They did nothing of the sort until recently because they weren't allowed. By the way, it's very rare to find a Jew in the US armed forces.

Compare the Ashkenazim from Germany today and the Sephardim from Bulgaria or Turkey and tell me they are not behaviourally any different to a Samaritan? IMO they are soo obviously Europeanised. Yiddish, Ladino and Yevanic are most certainly European languages linguistically. What is the point of this?

It has not occured to me that Slavs are anti-Jewish either. The Slavs i have met appear the opposite. I have known Poles whose ancestors have suffered at the hands of Nazism. Personal experience means little. Slavic nations have a very long detailed history of rabid anti-Semitism. Every Euroepan nation that has had Jews living amongst them in large numbers has disliked Jews intensely. I'd say Germany in the 19th and early 20th century, with it's significant Jewish population, was somewhat different.
