What is the history of Jewish suffering?

Jews, a national group that has been wandering, oppressed, spurned and even slaughtered for thousands of years. A nation that was almost wiped out by Nazi Germany in World War II! What makes this nation so troubled that it has almost become an abandoned child of God?

This history can be traced back to before the birth of Jesus, starting with the appearance of "God's chosen people".

Although the word "anti-Semitism" was put forward from 1879, the phenomenon it refers to has existed for a long time. Some historians have replaced the word anti-Semitism with other words, such as hatred of Jews or simple and universal hatred of Jews. Historians also trace the manifestations of anti-Semitism back to ancient Egypt. In the 3rd century BC, after Moses led the Jews out of Egypt 1000 years ago, an Egyptian archbishop named Monasso left a new report in Alexandria, which was different from the exciting Hebrew legend. According to this report, unlike Exodus in the Old Testament, Jews were saved under the guidance of God. He claimed that Jews were actually expelled from Egypt because they suffered from various infectious diseases, including leprosy, like other ragged immigrants wandering around. In Monasso's view, this is not the "darling of God" (God's elect? Self-esteem is the root of Jews avoiding others, and because of this, the Egyptians once deported them as untouchables!

John Quezodomo, Archbishop of Constantinople in the 4th century A.D., was one of the most vicious early accusers. He claimed that Jews had given up their faith since the time of Moses. He described synagogues as brothels and Jews as drunkards and gluttons. He believes that these treacherous, lewd, greedy and cruel Jews have defiled all their chastity, and they have sacrificed their children to the devil. By the 5th century, the idea of regarding Jews and Satan as a whole had been included in Christian teachings throughout Europe. This provided a background for the moral slander and physical persecution of Jews in the Middle Ages, and regarded them as exiles and blasphemers.

In the Middle Ages, the sensational crimes attributed to Jews extended to: in religious etiquette, killing children for the purpose of magic and treatment; It is a terrible crime to desecrate the Eucharist when people still literally understand that the bread and wine of the Eucharist will become the body and blood of Jesus. Spread the black death by poisoning. The early Holocaust of Jews in Europe took place in 1096. Christians gathered in Spaya, a small town in the Rhine region of Germany, and formed the first crusade. Jews in Vorms got the news and took refuge in the Archbishop's residence. Armed attackers rushed in, stripped the Jews naked and dragged them out. It is said that someone killed the child himself in order not to let the child be baptized. In more than two days, * * * 800 Jews were massacred, and in the next few days, another 700 Jews died in Mainz. There is a rumor that Jews kill each other to escape their torturers. Although the Crusaders ostensibly aimed at liberating the holy land from pagans, they always incited attacks on Jews living in Europe. 1 146, the news of the second crusade caused another attack on the Jewish community in many towns in Germany and France. /kloc-At the end of 0/2 century, after the Third Crusade, there was the Holocaust in England-London, Yorkshire, Stanford and Lynn. The pattern of anti-Semitic robbery, the desperate cry of frightened victims, and the outbreak of collective suicide run through 13 and 14 centuries. As long as the slogan of returning to Jerusalem comes up at once, the above situation will recur.

/kloc-at the end of 0/9, the hysterical accusation of killing Jews during religious ceremonies intensified. No matter how the Catholic Church used the taboo of not killing people or touching corpses in the Bible to alleviate the violent tendency, centralized burning of Jews has become a new way for people to vent their anger. When this fear and hatred reached its peak, Jews were asked to wear special clothes so that they would be recognized immediately: in Germany, they wore red and yellow hats, and in Poland, they wore green pointed hats. Many years later, it is interesting that although the new generation of authorities no longer require Jews to be different, some Jews insist on keeping their external symbols that make them different.

After the October Revolution in Russia, the dominant position of Jews under Bolshevik rule helped the Jewish-hating forces to launch a series of new conspiracy theories. It should be pointed out that people have suspected that Jewish international financiers played a key role in overthrowing the czar's rule through subtle manipulation. The victory of the October Revolution and the existing doubts about Jews made them universally condemned. Famous western capitalists, such as Henry Ford of the United States (1863- 1947), once questioned the economic strength of Jews all over the world.

In Germany, the anti-Semitic political trend of thought, which prevailed from the late19th century, became active again during the Great Depression, claiming that Jews were responsible for Germany's predicament. Anti-Semitic parties were also active in Habsburg Austria. They portrayed Jews as economic enemies, saying that Jews accelerated the disappearance of rural life. Hitler rose by tyranny and dictatorship. For Jews, this is a sinister history of development. The Nazi's intention is clear, that is, as early as the 1920s, they made it clear that Jews were not allowed to join German nationality, but they did not pay enough attention to it at that time. They hesitated whether to go or stay. It was through this psychological tactic that Hitler gradually realized his goal. By the time the Jews realized the seriousness of the problem, it was already too late. April 1933, refusing to buy goods from Jewish shops became the fuse. Commandos encouraged people to put up slogans on windows, insult customers and destroy property. Non-Aryans are not allowed to work in government or universities, and the revised inheritance law deprives Jews of their inheritance rights. Then in the Nuremberg Law promulgated in 1936, the meaning of German citizen was redefined. Two years later, after the Polish Jewish youth was expelled from Germany because of their father, they murdered an official of the German Embassy in France in a rage, and Germany took action. After a long period of planning, they launched a nationwide anti-Semitic violence. About 90 Jews were killed, a large number of synagogues were defiled, buildings were destroyed, books and sacred objects were burned, and thousands of Jews were arrested. This is "Crystal Night". But this is just the beginning. Since then, a large number of Jews have been exiled to reform-through-labour camps in eastern Germany. 1942+0 The Wansai Conference in June adopted the final solution to the genocide of Jews. From the statistics alone, we can see the tragic degree of the massacre. In World War II, about 3 million Jews, together with a large number of Poles, Gypsies, homosexuals and capitalists, were killed by Nazis in concentration camps in Poland. More than 65,438+0,000 people died in Auschwitz, 974,000 in Brinca, 600,000 in Belzek, 250,000 in Sobibo, 225,000 in Usaim and 60,000 in Maidanik. Most of them were poisoned by poison gas and then burned to death. Although the appalling genocide in these hellish places was proved in detail by later documents, and similar massacres occurred in other places since then, people still feel psychologically difficult and unbelievable.

1948, the birth of the Jewish state is full of difficulties, and for Jews and Arabs, the ensuing bloody conflict is inevitable.
