I don't understand why the Church were so afraid of witches and were killing them. They were just illiterate women, maybe with mental problems. Were they hunted because jewesses?

Alright, prepare for a lefitist meme tier wall of text:
You misunderstand what a Witch actually is, and also how the Church and Inquisition dealt with the vast majority of cases that were false. First of all, a Witch is actually someone who consorts with devils (or attempts to cajole any spiritual force, since many will not admit what they are dealing with is a devil, but they will all admit its some form of spirit) to produce effects attributed to their "spells" but are in fact the result of whatever natural power the devil they are working with possesses. So the primary crime of Witchcraft is diabolism, consorting with the very enemies of the Human species, and the secondary crime is that of fraud, by attempting to claim the the natural action of the devilish assistant is some supernatural power of the Witch. Demons are not supernatural beings, even if they operate on a level of existence far too high for humans to comprehend, so Witches are traffickers in false miracles and peddlers of superstition as well as consorters with the Enemy. A Witch isn't some hippie who thinks her magic crystals will give her good luck (though there are some instances where those types of people can unwittingly draw demons to themselves, as they are still attempts to dabble in the occult), a Witch is someone who *knowingly* consorts with demons, which is why even non-Christian cultures have a deep seated hatred for Witches, and not even the most savage tolerate them. Witchcraft is a very serious and heinous crime, which is why it needs to be identified carefully.
Modern (((History))) books would have you believe that Christendom was in a constant state of Witch Hunts with no factual basis for the persecutions, and this is of course an odious lie on both accounts. Witch panics were relatively rare, and during the prominence of the Catholic Church, most of the accused were dealt with fairly, because the Inquisition was well aware that most of the time it was a false alarm. In fact, the Inquisition had a reputation for being far more fair to those accused of Witchcraft than secular authorities because they were the most well trained to identify actual witches. So under Catholic rule, outside of rare instances where local rulers acted without the Inquisition's oversight, there werent all that many witch burnings, which is probably why they are so well recorded, being a novelty.
Witch Hunts became a lot more frenzied and unjust *after* the Reformation, when the Inquisition lost their ability to operate in many areas and thus properly identify actual witches. Accusations of Witchcraft basically skyrocketed after the reformation as local authorities who had a very minimal theological background and were quite superstitious had no way to tell the difference between the local town schizo and an actual Sorcerer. This insanity culminated in the Salem Witch Trials, where a bunch of unattended and affluent women decided it would be a good idea to get rid of anyone they didn't like by falsely accusing them of Witchcraft, and relying on the rampant superstition and ignorance of the Puritans to basically ensure that the accused party was always found "guilty". Of course, modern (((Revisionists))) pin the blame of this atrocity on Superstition (which was only an enabling factor, and a decidedly Un-Christian one at that( as opposed to women being utter savages to one another.
As for jews being witches, they quite literally are, at least those involved in (((Kabbala))), which is nothing more than a form of witchcraft, though they pretend to be commanding angelic spirits instead of diabolic ones.
