The short version is the Catholic Church didn't allow Christians to charge interest on loans, but Jews could. So Jews were looked at as money grubbing bankers.

At least that's what my fuzzy, possibly wrong recollection of the explanation is.

In part, but also that Jews were often forbidden from a) owning land and becoming farmers and b) joining most guilds, so some of them turned to finance as a niche.

Lmao well played by the Jews

This was only part of it, of course, the farmer Jews living on shtetls in Eastern Europe, and the working-class Jews of England were also part of the story.

The trick of the trade is lateral movement, so if you get into a device and are able to work your way out onto for example an on-base wifi-network... and the Iranians are pretty good at it. Cyber stuff is prime assymetrical warfare. Imagine being able to listen in on the mic in the breast pocket of some dipshit at a briefing.
