    Jews invented usury (loaning money at an interest rate) In Christian and Muslim kingdoms it was a considered a sin to charge someone interest. Catholic Church still considers it a sin to this day. So in other words if you lent someone one hundred dollars you could only collect 100 dollars back. In Christian Europe when it was a theocracy you could actually go to jail for charging interest. In the Middle Ages some Jews started the usury, they preyed on small farmers and the became rich that way. Again I'm not saying it was all Jews, but there was a reason people distrusted Jews. This went on for decades and since Jews got rich with usury a lot of them got into powerful businesses, etc. Again any discrimination against the jewish people is wrong, but you can look up usury, it is traced back to the Jews. The whole usury thing caused a lot of anger that went on for several centuries.

    Similar cases to Simon of Trent case; Shakhina love thingie where they go back and forth while praying; charging interest when Old Testament forbids interest; what their books say about nonJews; Jews making sure that nonJews receive mark of the beast; Jews sending their agents to infiltrate churches from within; Jews started freemasonry in order to bring in New World Оrder under the evil flying antichrist; etc.; forgive me.

    The natural reaction to centuries of lies and thievery.

    (((They))) have been kicked out of over 100 societies. That can't be a coincidence.

    If a child is expelled from 100 schools, is it the school's fault or their child's.

    Have you ever read the Old Testament? The ancient tribe of Israel was a bunch of genocidal bastards, so I guess it goes back as far as that.
