History 101.
In Europe, the Jews were seen by the Catholic Church as "Christ-killers" and subjected to group punishment, accusations of supreme evil, witchcraft, and control.
As Christ killers, they were seen as inherently evil. Subsequently they were restricted in where they could live, and were systematically blamed for anything and everything the science of the day, or the church could not explain.
Cattle sick?? The JOOS did it.
People ill in town?? The JOOS did it.
Bad harvest?? The JOOS did it.
This was demonstrated very well in the mid fourteenth century, at the onset of the Black Death in about 1347- 50. Town after town, city after city rose up and murdered the Jewish population in the belief they were responsible.
The Church consistently campaigned against the Jews, and government increasingly restricted them. They had to live in the Pale, (ghetto is the word the Jews used to describe their living areas) They had to pay extra taxes. They were restricted in the professions they could practise. That is why they became so prevalent in gold and silver smithing, in the jewel trade, and in banking. Usury was forbidden to Christians, so money-lending became a profession of Jews.
There is no way to inspire hate more than being a banker.
This went on for SO long it became a part of the culture, a part of the European subconscious, to the point where in the early 20th Century there were still pogroms in Russia, the Jews were still restricted as to where they could live in places.
And then the Germans lost WW One. Who was at fault?
The JOOS!!!!! And the subsequent Holocaust was simply the culmination, the climax if you will, of over 1,000 years of Church-inspired Jew hatred.
The Jews are not at fault.
Jew hatred seems to be in the genes of the ignorant and the vicious.....witness Mhz and Bondar, et al
Oh....and Zionism is only good sense.
That Church was largely invented by Jews, you left off the first four thousand years of Jewish persecution a phenomena older than the word Jew, and you also didn't mention the earlier Holocausts. Holocaust derived power dwindles with age, always there must be fresh blood always there must be fresh victims.
