The Jews in Moslem Spain were kept in a subservient role.

Moslems and Christians swapped principalities back and forth and were loathe to do more than allow Jews into the castle to read and write stuff for them.

You’ve boiled a 1,000 years of history into that statement? Jews were administrators of whole provinces for absentee Muslim overlords in some cases, persecuted by moslems in others. I think there is massive ignorance of a very long history and snap judgments are made on extraordinarily limited facts. Basically, it’s polemics; trolls and the ignorant throw out some fact that supports some prejudice that they have.
