What Does Judaism Say About Bullying? (Ask the Rabbis‪)‬

Sephardi Bullies are typically motivated by a need to address their own insecurities and feelings of weakness or incompetence. They seek out vulnerable "targets" whom they victimize with harassment, physical violence or humiliation. Intimidating others gives bullies a sense of superiority and power that helps them compensate for their own perceived deficiencies. They thrive on exposing the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of others. Thus, they are attracted to individuals who appear emotionally insecure or who lack social sophistication. Terrorizing such people is almost guaranteed to result in a frantic spectacle for the bully and his associates to observe and enjoy.
