*"Fellow soldiers," he said, "this is our last struggle. If we win this battle, Justinian's power is crushed, and our freedom is secure. Show yourselves men this day, for to-morrow it will be too late; spare neither your horses nor your arms, for whether victors or vanquished you will never need them more. Remember that there is no safety for you but in victory; to flee is to seek destruction. Let not the multitude of the enemy dismay you; we are a nation fighting for our freedom, for our country, for all that makes life precious; they are a hireling band of Huns and Herules, and people of all races and tongues, divided by ancient hatreds and bound together by no common interest but their pay."*

Holy shit, this is based. There was a Jewish plot in the 690s to overthrow Gothic leadership and take control
@galesteppes lol did you know that the Jews were expelled from Gothic Europe to Spain, whereby they assisted the Muslim invaders in overthrowing the kingdoms there, and held onto the cities for the Muslims as they rampaged north?
Oh, and the Colossus of Rhodes was bought and melted down by some Arab Jew
Wait what
Yes
@Fitzydog did you know that the Irish deserved the famine ?
Fuck off. Don't let the J00 pit us against each other
It wasn't just the Jews that assisted the North African invasion of Visigoth Spain, but rather a coalition of forces. During the early 700s the Visigoth kingdom of Spain was in civil war with a second claimant to the throne against king Roderic. King Roderic was not loved by most of his subjects, and most importantly by part of his nobility which defected to his rival
During the battle of Guadalete he was defeated by the scout task force of the Arabs due to the lack of loyalty from his nobles who refused to fight and even disobeyed orders to charge. These then turned to the North African invaders as an ally to claim land and cities.
The jewish population who had seen a diminishing of their rights and abilities to trade and conduct business also welcomed the mulsim invaders who re instated several of their rights, and were given more extensive privileges as Dhimmis
Those nobles that revolted against King Roderic and supported the Muslims were allowed to keep their land and positions of power, so long as they swore loyalty to their new overlords, which they did
So I guess the Spanish did succeed in destroying themselves
Well, no... we're good at failing to succeed in destroying ourselves
LOL

`During the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), a Ming emperor conferred seven surnames upon the Jews, by which they are identifiable today: Ai (艾), Shi (石), Gao (高), Gan (甘), Jin (金), Li (李), Zhang (張), and Zhao (趙).[30][31] Two of these, Jin and Shi, are the equivalent of common Jewish names in the west: Gold and Stone.[32][33]`
Why is so much history surrounding international Judaism hidden from the public? What are they afraid of?
Seems to be a common trend among many ancient societies
And yet the nobility was ok
They were expected to be noble, else face societal repurcussions.
Probably had more of the people's interests at heart than today's politicians
Nice!
