Stretching to
85 pages is a list of the expulsion of the Jewish peoples - practisers of the faith - since the first century AD although given some of what's been imputed them would suggest the more radical elements (Zealots?) were the agitators here, not the regular devotees of the faith who are amongst the loveliest people one could meet.
The Complete List of the 1030 Jewish Expulsions in Human History
https://ia902804.us.archive.org/24/i...%20History.pdf
Hang on...it starts with Exodus:
This first entry may in fact need to be omitted
due to the fact that it is largely mythological...
This book does not mention King John!
But that is my mistake from mixing up the names:
1290 A.D. – England
Jews Expelled by King Edward I
It is such a large list because almost every action is on a municipal level. That one was national. There was no such thing as Italy or Germany.
It may be a mixture of codswallop and actual fact.
Not really a "book", but a defunct blog, apparently named for Lord Molyneaux (Northern Irish Conservative, IRA type).
It applies the word "pogrom" which was not really known until the 1600s, and in the relevant area, there are a tiny few references to Kiev and Ukraine--something is missing.
It does not mention Oliver Cromwell, and you have to read between the lines to watch England disappear off the list of expellers.
Otherwise the whole thing is almost entirely western European locations. They are expelled, and come back to the same places. Fourteen instances of Venice from *only* 1394-1851. Aside from Rome, they have a distinctly European problem beginning with the Merovingians--except that is an anachronistic mistake:
251-252 A.D. – Gaul
Jews self-deport after being given choice of Baptism or Death by Merovingian kings
because:
Merovech (French: Mérovée, Merowig; Latin: Meroveus; c. 411 – 458)
was not in Gaul (effectively "Belgian").
Such an incident appears to be absent because they were present:
Quote:
...in the year 39 at Lugdunum (i.e. Lyon)".
An early account praised Hilary of Poitiers (died 366) for having fled from the Jewish society. The emperors Theodosius II and Valentinian III sent a decree to Amatius, prefect of Gaul (9 July 425), that prohibited Jews and pagans from practising law or holding public offices (militandi). This was to prevent Christians from being subject to them and possibly incited to change their faith. At the funeral of Hilary, Bishop of Arles, in 449, Jews and Christians mingled in crowds and wept; the former were said to have sung psalms in Hebrew.
It cites the references, but explains almost nothing. That one was from Solomon Katz, ‘The Jews In The Visigothic And Frankish Kingdoms Of Spain And Gaul’, p. 22.
There are a few Messiahs around the time of Jesus.
Of course it does not mention Jewish "acceptance", such as by the Caesars. And so in cases of revolt, one should always ask, why? Perhaps they were legitimate complaints in some cases. When you receive a new autocrat who is not like the old one, things might not go smoothly. I, personally, reserve judgment about anyone accused of "revolting", except for the cases where it is an Antifa-type rented mob committing mindless violence.
No finger lifted towards any question about how much of it is straight religious persecution.
Roman policy is difficult to figure out, although in part it says:
Quote:
Suetonius, in a famous phrase, writes that Jews were expelled because “they constantly made disturbances impulsore Chresto [at the instigation of Chrestus].”
Because the interpretation of Suetonius’s phrase impulsore Chresto is difficult, opinions differ as to what caused these disturbances. Some see in Chrestus an otherwise unknown individual by that name, while others consider Chrestus to be a synonym for Christianity and, consequently, believe that it was the preaching of Christianity that led to all this commotion. Most recently, Slingerland has argued forcefully that a Christian interpretation of the evidence provided by Suetonius is wrong because it is based exclusively on arguments ex silentio.
Where, again, there is no attestation of "Christos" anywhere in the world until the year 96, which is in the Roman tax rolls. In fact, it only appears in the oldest known New Testament (Codex Sinaiticus) because someone scratched out the "E" to make it look like an "I". If anyone can figure out the honesty and integrity in that one, let me know.
In the old entries you see unrealistic figures such as 50,000 at Alexandria, and, according to Josephus, over a million in another incident...the list somewhat mixes "pogroms" with "expulsions".
For example, this is from the link for Poland 1968:
Quote:
The anti-Zionist campaign began in 1967, and was carried out in conjunction with the USSR's withdrawal of all diplomatic relations with Israel after the Six-Day War, but also involved a power struggle within the PZPR itself. The subsequent purges within the ruling party, led by Moczar and his faction, failed to topple Gomułka's government but resulted in an exile from Poland of thousands of communist individuals of Jewish ancestry, including professionals, party officials and secret police functionaries appointed by Joseph Stalin following the Second World War. In carefully staged public displays of support, factory workers across Poland were assembled to publicly denounce Zionism. At least 13,000 Poles of Jewish origin emigrated in 1968–72 as a result of being fired from their positions and various other forms of harassment.
Poland was on the side of U. S. S. R.? Oh, yeah, it was.
That nevertheless sounds like a purge of Stalinists, some of whom were Jewish.
You can see the significant part at a glance:

The first reliable document attesting the presence of Jews in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania is the charter of 1388 granting privileges to the Jews in Trakai.
What is that about, well, Poland is Catholic.
There was no significant Jewish population in eastern Europe until the 1300s, thanks to the previous expulsions, and at the time, Lithuania had no cities and no rights.
Lithuania "expelled" them for about eight years:
The causes of the unexpected expulsion were probably many, including religious reasons, the need to fill a depleted treasury by confiscating the Jews' money, personal animosity, and other causes.
Today they number less than 3,000.
So, yes, fairly reliably starting in the non-Slavic countries, the "expulsions" continue for some 1,500 years into relatively modern times:
1939 A.D. – Albania
1939 A.D. – Poland
1939 A.D. – Hungary
1940 A.D. – France
1940 A.D. – Genoa, Italy
Jewish bankers expelled for British support (similar to every other Italian city)
1941 A.D. – Austria
1941 A.D. – Czechoslovakia
1943 A.D. – The Balkans
What are all those Zionist countries doing in this list??
As you can tell, Ukraine and Russia have almost nothing to do with this, except for the relatively brief period they did, somewhat involuntarily, in consequence of all the other deportations.
Unsurprisingly:
1948 A.D. – West Bank
Jews Expelled.
1948 A.D. – Jerusalem
Jews Expelled.
Moving forward:
Quote:
Israel’s economy will contract 5% in the fourth quarter of this year amid rising geopolitical and security risks due to the conflict with Palestinian group Hamas, credit rating agency S&P said in a report.
The rating agency cited lower business activity, falling consumer demand, and a “very uncertain” investment environment, RT reported.
S&P projects an Israeli fiscal deficit of 5.3% of GDP in 2023 and 2024, compared with the agency’s pre-war estimate of 2.3%.
The Israeli government has significantly increased expenses to fund the military and to compensate businesses near the border with Gaza, as well as the families of victims and hostages taken by Hamas. This has led to a record budget deficit, which last month ballooned to $6 billion, a more than sevenfold increase compared to one year ago.
The S&P report comes after the agency downgraded Israel’s credit outlook from ‘stable’ to ‘negative’ last month, just two weeks after the conflict began on October 7. Ratings agencies Moody’s and Fitch have both put Israel on review for a downgrade.
S&P, however, indicated it could restore Israel’s credit outlook to ‘stable’ if the conflict is resolved, as that would mean a reduction in regional security and internal risks.
Which, in Iranian logic:
Quote:
The chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the Israeli regime is moving towards its “inevitable collapse” in a “war of attrition” with Palestinians resistance movements.
“Palestine stands on the path of a war of attrition…’Israel’ will face a definitive defeat,” he declared. “Operation Al-Aqsa Storm showed that the US help cannot save ‘Israel’ from the danger of collapse.”
Salami said hatred of the US has spread all over the world and it is more isolated than ever. He said Muslim and non-Muslim nations would inflict a heavy blow upon the US economy by boycotting its products.
The IRGC chief expressed confidence that Muslim nations would avenge the Israeli regime’s atrocities, saying, “Muslims’ revenge on oppressors has no expiration date.”
The top Iranian commander hailed the great capacities of the Palestinian resistance movements, especially Islamic Jihad and Hamas, saying, “Hamas and Islamic Jihad cannot be collapsed. Neither Palestine nor its young fighters can be destroyed.”
He expressed confidence that Israel’s “definite defeat” would trap it in a quagmire, adding that there is no indication of victory of the US and ‘Israel’ in their ongoing battle against the resistance fighters in Gaza while “everything is ready for Palestine’s liberation.”
Does not match the Israeli:
Quote:
Deputy speaker of the Knesset and member of the legislature’s foreign affairs and security committee, Nissim Vaturi, has called for the complete destruction of Gaza. Vaturi emphasized that ‘Israel’ should not allow any aid into Gaza Strip until all captives are released.
Expressing his belief that ‘Israel’ has been “too humane,” Vaturi criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war cabinet for succumbing to international pressure and allowing the entry of only two trucks of fuel per day into Gaza. This decision came after a month-long ban on fuel, which resulted in a collapse of the health sector and other essential services for the 2.2 million Palestinians living in Gaza.
While the first truck carrying fuel from Egypt entered the Strip on Wednesday, it was confirmed that the delivery to hospitals was prohibited. This move further exacerbates the dire situation faced by the people of Gaza.
Vaturi’s alarming statement, which called for the burning of Gaza, has since been removed from his post on social media. However, the call to block aid from entering Gaza remains.
Britain and U. S. being dragged down:
Quote:
Retail sales volumes in October were at their lowest level since February 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, when there were “widespread and extensive restrictions to non-essential retail in England, Scotland and Wales”, the ONS said.
The retail analyst Nick Bubb said there was plenty of evidence of retailers struggling to attract customers for much of the year, adding that the evidence from the US, where interest rates have also climbed steeply, was similar.
Food retailers reported a 7.7% increase in spending on a year ago and online retail sales were up by 6.1%, but volumes were down in both cases as inflation resulted in consumers paying more for less.
Danni Hewson, the head of financial analysis at AJ Bell, said this is because middle-income households are being squeezed by rising mortgage costs.
“What is particularly interesting is the food sector. Even here spending is down but it’s where that spend has fallen which alludes to the impact rising mortgage costs are having on middle-income families," Hewson added.
Helen Dickinson, the chief executive of the BRC, said consumer confidence was weakening because of higher mortgage and rental costs.
Martin Beck, the chief economic adviser to the EY Item Club, said, “The retail sector is unlikely to experience a significant uptick in fortunes in the near term. The impact of higher interest rates is building, with an extra 1.5 million households with mortgages set to see fixed-rate deals expire and roll on to higher rates before the end of 2024.”
Of course, that comes with a sales pitch for the future, when cheap gas will allow you to eat again. So they say.
Private militias cannot directly harass a national economy, and 90% of Palestinians see no peaceful co-existence with Israel, so, this does not end well, because it probably doesn't end.
