Exaggerated Suffering of Jews
The self-proclaimed suffering of Jews over the centuries appears to know no bounds nor to have the least interest in the facts of history. Take for example the Diaspora itself. The traditional Passover toast is, "Next Year in Jerusalem." That is as close to the truth as one can get from the jewish view of their diaspora. The event which is what they expound upon to no end without reference to the actual original event is as follows. As a penalty for their last rebellion against Rome, the Emperor Hadrian prohibited them from living inside the city walls of Jerusalem. That is the sum and substance of their diaspora. They were not expelled from Judea. They were permitted to live outside the walls of Jerusalem. They were permitted to enter inside the walls of Jerusalem. Thus the truth of the Passover toast, inside the walls of Jerusalem instead of outside the walls. It never had anything to do with either Judea proper or Israel. Could you tell that from the fuss they make over it? But if you take the Bible seriously you might first look towards the story of the exodus from Egypt from a skeptical perspective. Given all the countries that have thrown out jewish communities over the centuries do you think Pharho might not have his story to tell? After all, Hadrian has his story and quite mild in comparison to the usual penalty for rebellion, decimation. And unless you really believe in miracles those plagues were most likely greatly exaggerated hebrew sabotage of some kind. What is interesting to note is that Pagans, Christians, Muslims, Zoroastrians and Bhuddists, from 2500 years ago to the present day, if you read the oldest and farthest away to the closest and most recent they always describe the Jews in the same way. A two thousand year old Persian description reads like it was written yesterday in New York City by a Jew. Professor MacDonald has identified this unvarying behavior as a group survival strategy. It is as much a group characteristic as is Passover. If suffering were not a cultural survival characteristic, their holocaust would be a primary reason to abandon being jewish rather than to draw closer together. The horrors of the Spanish Inquistion were largely created by the Protestant printing presses of Germany. Today's research finds barely 100 executions in its first century of existance in both the Old and New World. That severely limits the jewish suffering even if they were all of the executions. But even if all of the horrors are true, consider the facts. Jews came to Spain as the servants of the muslim Moors. The Moors were thrown out. It would appear in justice that their servants should go with them. Rather the Jews were offered an opportunity to stay if they converted to christianity. The closest modern example of that today is Israel. And the charge against Jews was almost exclusively false conversion. There are several ways to look at that as lying to God, lying to man, violation of oath, treachery. No matter how viewed it is clear the fundamental nature of those charged was lack of personal integrity. But marking the day the Spanish Inquisition started is a semi-holyday to contemplate jewish suffering. Their self-proclaimed WWII suffering is simply one more part of it with no basis in fact, based only in victor's history and their own storytellers. A discussion of the ridiculous basis for their WWII suffering would not be complete without a discussion of their irrationally blaming everyone alive at the time for not doing enough for them. Who do they think they are really? Estimates of those who might have been saved are inflated beyond belief. The claims are made without regard to political, techical, engineering and even wartime constraints of the time. They all ignore completely the sufferings of others from the war of which of 40 million died compared to their puny claimed 6 million. And then they only get to such an inflated total (which is so inflated that serious estimates put it as only 100,000 at most) by adding up jewish Germans and jewish Czechs and jewish Poles and all the other nationalities and counting them as non-nationalist Jews. If they truly were non-nationalist, then again the Nazis were correct regarding them. It can fairly be said that Jews who condemn the actions of others in not "saving" them as either truly ignorant, willfully ignorant or malicious and vicious.
