Farmers overextended themselves, could not pay and ended up in bankruptcies. I am sure I am not more detailed now. Anyway, the farmers blamed the “Easr Coast Bankers” which really was a code word for Jews. Many, who have never met a Jewish person in their lives developed hatred to Jews.

And, by the way, most Jews are not “filthy rich.” Until the 70’s I think, many Jews could not get many jobs, so they had to rely on their own and, yes, on the community -hence the “cabal” conspiracy.
