Common theme? Paranoid loons who need to believe that everything going wrong in their particular corner of the world is being orchestrated by some nefarious group. Jews were almost always more successful, on average, in their adoptive countries than the average of "native" citizen. They were always a convenient scapegoat. Hell there are people who say they were instrumental in driving a war in which they suffered more as a single identified group than any other involved (WWII).

Yes, paranoid loons.

Residents have filed complaints with the municipality that the community of ultra-religious Jews have used a public body of water as a mikveh (ritual bath), practiced unhygienic rituals like kaparot (where a chicken is swung around a rabbi’s head before being slaughtered), and made disparaging comments about immodesty to tourists.

According to the mayor, the indigenous population has also been suspicious since a Canadian couple accused of child abuse reportedly moved to San Juan La Laguna with their six children.

“There is almost every other religion here, and there have never been any problems. When they came, there started to be ill will,” the mayor said of the Jewish families.

Somehow they managed to get kicked out of a small Guatamalan village in the middle of no where with no past connections to Judaism.
