Some have taken this to refer to the polytheists of Makkah, who suffered a humiliating defeat in the Battle of Badr shortly before the expedition against Banu Nadir, meaning that these too are, in their defeat and disgrace, just like the polytheists whose time was very recent. Some have taken it to refer to the other Jewish tribe, Banu Qaynuqa, who had been exiled before Banu Nadir and who were close to them in both time and place. Ibn Kathir.
