Middleman minorities, often involved in trade and commerce, can become targets of mob violence due to economic envy and scapegoating during times of social or economic turmoil. Their perceived success and distinct cultural practices may incite resentment among majority groups, leading to violence as a means of expressing frustration or asserting dominance. Additionally, these minorities are often seen as outsiders, making them vulnerable to collective aggression when societal tensions rise. Historical contexts, such as economic downturns or political instability, further exacerbate these dynamics, leading to increased victimization.

What religious groups have been victimized because of their faith?

Just about any religious groups has been victimized, especially when they were a minority. For example, Christianity was victimized when they just started; later, once they became more powerful it was often the other way round (i.e., Christians killing people because they weren't Christians). For example, during the Middle Ages, when the Catholic Church was very powerful. However, today there are still cases of countries where Christians are in a minority, and get persecuted for being Christians. Other groups that have been victimized include Bahá'ís (in several countries, but especially in Iran), Muslims, Jews. There are probably others as well.

What year were the Jews victimized?

It depends on the country. Jews are victimized nearly constantly in one part of the world or another. Some times (such as the Holocaust) are significantly more brutal than other times (Venetian ghetto-ization), but Jews have only been equal citizens in any country since the US Constitution guaranteed American Jews equal paper rights. If this is a question specifically on World War II, Nazi Germany, and the Holocaust, Jews were victimized from 1935-1945.
