Biblical Period

They were enslaved with backbreaking labor (Exodus ch.1).

Modern Egypt

Jews in Modern Egypt received similar treatment to that which the Copts now receive for much of the 19th and early 20th century. They were maligned as second class citizens. With the rise of Zionism, the situation in Egypt became untenable and there were small scale riots against the Jewish community. In 1950, most Egyptian Jews fled to Israel and there only remains a small community (few hundred) in Cairo today.
