and so only Jews were committing usury, and so they got a ton of money
They also made themselves very distinct from the cultures they were around, because that is how Jews are
so they dressed differently and behaved differently
that coupled with them charging interest (which no one likes)
sparked a lot of animosity towards the Jews
and the Jews were blamed for a lot of things, because they were easy scapegoats
they began being kicked out of countries left and right, which sometimes caused the economy to crash (which is pretty funny) lol
they were also notorious bankers
and clearly have not stopped
fast forward to the 1800s, there's still antisemitism, but now Jews are like "bruh, we should go to the Holy Land"
aka where Zionism comes from
so Jews began moving back to the land of Canaan and buying property there
The problem though is the old testament tells Jews to be distinct and to act different.
yeah
that's their whole thing
@Amadeus Anti-semitism was also strong in byzantine because of Theodosian
Jews are a rowdy bunch, what can I say lol
he would limit the power of jews aka to not be able to attend to some country power + making them unable to have weapons
As we would hate them for betraying the son of god
ottomans did actually treat the Jews fairly nicely though, which is pretty ironic when you see how Muslims view Jews today
there are a lot of documents to read about that
lol
it was one of the reason the got exiled from spain
they*
pretty sure they were exiled after Reconquista iended
because the Christians came in and were like "bruh, there's jews here"
Not exactly
They learned that jews were getting slaves from muslims + funding them in most cases
🤔
Jews and Muslims were best friends back in that days as Islam was one of their instruments
that they use even today
i'm not denying they used anybody lol
interesting info though
👀
lol
The Jews did have rights to the Holy Land at one time. But when they rejected Christ (the new covenant) they lost those rights
They became the same as any other dude
Unfortunately too many people especially here are willing to throw the baby out with the bath water: to see Israel disappear entirely without any regard for what comes next
Yet you all probably think a power vacuum should not have existed in Iraq
