Quotation:
The Jews were a Semitic people who originated in the Middle East. Their mass exodus from that region was provoked by a series of religious wars between the empires of Islam and the Christian crusaders. Between the sixth and the seventh centuries the minority Jewish population was targeted as heathen by all sides.
Analysis:
The Jews were a product of a diaspora, which means that they were forced from their homeland and made to live in foreign countries amid alien cultures. The people of these foreign countries saw the Jewish immigrants as strange, resented their presence, seeing them as intruders.
