Yes, they were. It is known that people really would cross the Jordan to the east bank and bypass Samaria on the way to and from Galilee and Judea.
During Jesus' time, the oppressed were often seen as the poor, sick, marginalized groups such as lepers, Samaritans, and women. Jesus preached love, compassion, and justice for all people, especially those who were considered outcasts by society.

There was considerable enmity between the people of Samaria and the Jews, because the Jews had conquered Samaria during the Maccabean period in the second century BCE and enslaved the Samaritans (or Samarians). The Maccabeasns had continued north and conquered Galilee, converting the people they found to Judaism. In the first century, the Samaritans were no longer subject to the Jews, but would attack any Jews attempting to cross Samaria to travel between Galilee and Judea. The story of the Good Samaritan was meant to show that even an implacable enemy of Judaism could be a good person and even help a Jew in need.

A:Samaria was the nation or province between Judea to the south and Galilee to the north. It was the successor state to Israel, which had ceased to exist over seven hundred years before the time of Jesus. Samarians or Samaritans were residents of Samaria and may have been descended partly from the remnant Israelites allowed by the Assyrians to remain in Samaria and partly from the various peoples who were brought in to replace the Israelites taken into exile. They were implacable enemies of the Jews since they overran Samaria during the second century BCE. Samaritans had become monotheistic, worshipping one God but with many differences compared to the religion of their southern Jewish neighbours. Almost all the Samaritans eventually adopted the Jewish religion but a small community of Samaritans remains in modern Israel.

In the bible there is a story of Jesus sitting at a well in midday , and as the disciples had gone out. A Samaritan women came to draw water at noon, as it was a custom in those days the Jews collected water in the morning or in the evenings, but the afternoon was given to the Samaritans. As the samaritans worshiped idols the Jews considered then outcasts.
The Gospel of Luke portrays Jesus as a compassionate and inclusive figure who reaches out to the marginalized and emphasizes the importance of love, forgiveness, and social justice.
The Kingdom of Israel was finally destroyed by the Assyrians in 722 BCE and many of the people who did not flee to Judah or Egypt deported, never to return. So, in the time of Jesus, there was no Kingdom of Israel and there had not been for over seven centuries. The land of the Israelites had become Samaria, the land of the Samarians, or Samaritans. Judea and Samaria were under Roman rule.
