I'd also say that the Judeans had a big sodding problem in that they were a nation without a homeland and had been so for two thousand years straight (breaking the peace of Rome had dreadful consequences). No real place of safety to flee to if things went badly wrong, or a government with armed force to look out for them.
Further, this made them even more "separate" as they had no choice but to be incredibly insular or else their culture would have completely died out. From this evolves the famed nepotism. Couple that with cornering the financial market due to centuries of forced familiarity with it (the Christians really did blow their foot off with those usury laws), and the Jewish messiah complex getting some of them mixed up in very weird things politically speaking, the poor bastards might as well have had a bulls eye painted on them.
