The state didn't like Mormons, for the same reason. They were reproducing like rabbits, and they had a lot of solidarity, to the point where they could affect the outcome of elections. So, Joseph Smith had to be killed.
With Jews, people have feared also their ability and tendency to manipulate, which could undermine a high-trust society.
Come to think of it, there are some parallels between that, and how people perceive pedophiles -- they worry they'll be able to manipulate kids. Except a lot of these pedos are just sitting at a computer downloading images, or are the ones getting preyed upon by cops posing as minors.
