By being a wandering tribe without a homeland, generally refusing to assimilate, keeping their own religion, retaining their culture, and choosing to mate amongst their own kind, they were seen as outsiders. Furthermore, by practicing usury and despoiling entire villages of their land and money, they attracted quite a bit of antagonism.
More recently, some have grown tired of the Jewish double-speak: on one hand, they support ethnic nationalism for themselves (Israel); on the other hand, they try to oppose ethnic nationalism for people of European descent.
