The best part is it probably was a genuine question
While this sure as shit sounds like the original post was retarded Storm-Fag bait, it really is okay to actually answer questions honestly.
Ethnic and religious differences bred resentment when you govern those different ethnic and religious groups differently. The jews can't own land or cattle so they can't have asset wealth (so no intergenerational social mobility), but the gentiles can't issue loans past 3% (so no fast wealth building at all). Then the rulers take jewish loans to fund their building projects, vanity projects, and military expeditions; but can't pay them back at the interest rates they took (you can't print money when you're currency is a gold/silver coin). Now some rulers are protecting jews, and others are targeting jews. Some rulers realize they don't want to pay back the jews and expel them (selling their property to their clientele class). But for other rulers, the jews are a clientele class, and invite them back in, or make what amounts to Red Line districts that they can live.
Honestly, I think this quote from "The Jews of Kolin" website I found is pretty funny, and apt as a summary:
"No! They're my jews! Go away!" really shows how jews were kind of just being used as paws by elites to get money; and then either they would privilege jews different from the rest of the population, or jews would be targeted by those elites rivals.
The eternal victim. Never at fault for anything. Curious how the Jews despite being constantly exploited were able to amass such massive amounts of wealth.
The way you put it they sound a bit like organized crime. Poor cartels. They're just being exploited by the elites.
you don't understand, they were forced to become filthy bankers despite how much they wanted to be common laborers and farmers
You're right, no government would ever exploit their clientele group to their advantage.
Idiot.
If you choose despicable behavior to enrich yourself you can't exactly play the victim just because you had to pay off parts of the 'government' so you can continue doing what you do. This isn't a victim/oppressor relationship.
"despicable behavior"
"cattle walked across some ground, fine paid in salt"
Willfully causing property damage is despicable, yes, especially if the damage endangers food supply. If you wanna mock me at least make sure it doesn't make you look like an idiot.
But you and I both know that I wasn't talking about that specific event.
Calm your hysterics.
That's not the well-related story I read when I tried to research the banning from Kuttenburg. Still haven't found a definitive answer, but um... interesting that you ALSO chose something well related.

Did you know that Chad_Savan has been banned from now 110 reddit subs? True!
That poor guy!
clearly not his fault. He did nothing wrong, its purely the anti-Chad_Savanism that has infested so much.
The only solution is mass migration from low-iq places, that will smarten them up...
...if only he could build underground digital tunnels back to those communities.
...Why WEREN'T they allowed in Kuttenberg?
Usury.
For those unaware, usury is the charging of interest, at any rate. Many false and fooled Christians think usury is only interest at high rates. That is false, and the idea was twisted to excuse away ignoring one of God's rules for us, to excuse away the increasingly satanic pursuit of mammon (money) over God, in Christian nations, when we are explicitly forbidden from charging interest in the Bible. Jesus let us know what God thinks of money lenders, money changers, and mammon worshippers, when he fashioned a whip in the temple.
No matter how much benefit it provides, no matter the arguments in favor for it, usury always inevitably results in evil, and is a tool used by evil.
This is also why all jewish-run banks quietly offer interest-free loans to other jews, because they believe that prohibition only applies to loans to one's own people. Muzzie banks, on the other hand, try to avoid the usury prohibition by charging borrowers a flat fee instead of compounding interest.
This is why jews always have businesses and own hotels all over NYC. Nobody else can get loans to open things like that.
taps Apex's sign
That's not even true for the time period. Usury was charging unreasonable interest. Not banning it entirely. To medieval Christians, typically that meant around 3%, but depending on the regime and time period it was somewhere between 1%-5%. So yeah, you could still charge interest, at several rates. It also depended on who you were loaning money to and why.
and here we see the usual hair-splitting legalism on display from the usual group. a classic. take note newcomers.

i’m sure he’ll claim he isn’t jewish as well
He always denies being jewish. He might not be, but his writing style when it comes to the topic of the jews is at least jew-ish.
"tHiS iS hAiR sPlItTiNg!"
What game was it that had a synagogue that disabled your gun when you were looking at it so it couldn't be shot at? If jews are in KCD2, they'd categorically be essential characters immune to damage.
The Last of Us Part II.
Of course it was that one. That was some really petty bullshit. It's not like that game had Red Faction-esque destructible environments, the worst that could happen is bullethole.png is added on top the textures.
My experience of old school online play is there are a couple of shapes that are very easy to draw with bulletholes. That's probably what one of the devs wet themselves over the concept of.
Meanwhile, in Asscreed Shittows. Black invader going into temple and destroying the place of worship. Interesting how one is fine, the other is not.
"Yes, Neo. Now you are beginning to see the truth."
The jewade game...Last of Us 2
Will there be playable missions where you can poison the wells and murder gentile children?
Perhaps open city gates to invading armies, or open a bank, or clip coins?
Even if they weren't allowed in, it would be perfectly possible to shoehorn in such a character acting as a spy/covert agent/hostile element/hidden element. Good ol' Jesus Suit Mickstone, with his giant crosses and gold crucifixes, is actually Jesuit Michstein with stars of david hidden in the basement chapel of his mansion. Done. Can even just be environmental storytelling and never actually brought up, an easter egg for people who explore the game.
