Reasons for the 1,030+ expulsions of Jews

Jews have been expelled from host societies on over 1,030 occasions. To illustrate these practical consequences of Jews’ holiest book, the Talmud, following are examples of the reasons for Jews being kicked out of civilized society.¹

Ritual murder of gentiles

There are numerous occasions on which Jews were expelled specifically for ritual murder of gentiles, typically children:

1189-1190 (Burry St. Edmunds, England), 1287 (Bacharach, Germany), 1290-1292 (Apulia and other towns, Italy), 1293-1294, (Berne, Switzerland), 1298 (Rindfleisch, Germany), 1321 (small town in France), 1336-1338 (Armleder, Germany), 1337 (Deggendorf, Germany), 1338 (Pulkau, Germany), 1347 (Messina, Italy), 1470 (Baden, Germany), 1475 (Trent, Italy), 1475 (Bamberg, Austria), 1478 (Mantua, Italy), 1478 (Reggio, Italy), 1479 (Milan, Italy), 1479 (Arena, Italy), 1479 (Portobuffole, Treviso, Italy), 1485 (Verona, Italy), 1492 (Aragon, Spain), 1492-1493 (Sicily, Italy), 1509 (Novi, Italy), 1529 (Posen, Germany), 1530 (Modena, Italy), 1533 (Silesia, Germany), 1541 (Tittingen, Germany), 1544 (Wurzburg, Germany), 1547 (Poland), 1553 (Asti, Italy), 1583 (Trieste, Italy), 1590 (Petrokov, Poland), 1712 (Poland), 1829 (Hamah, Syria), 1948-1949 (Yemen).

In addition to the above-mentioned cases, there are numerous other incidents in which Jews were accused of ritual murder and suffered host retaliation, ranging from criminal prosecution to mass violence against Jews.

Other murder of gentiles

There are also many documented cases of Jew expulsion for other actual or planned murder, e.g. Jews killed gentile farmers (116 Oxyrhynchus, Egypt), a Jew doctor plotted the deaths of Christian patients (1430 Palermo, Italy), Jews were accused of murdering the Constable of Castile (1473 Jaen, Spain), plotting a great massacre of Christians (602-610 Mesopotamia), cruelly putting Christians to death (614 Palestine), killing Christians (629 Jerusalem) and numerous cases of poisoning their hosts’ drinking water (e.g. 1349 Salzburg, 1475 province of Tyrol).

Financial and business crime

Financial and business crimes are often given as reasons for Jew expulsion. Money lending, usury and other criminal banking practices seem to be the most common offence in this category. Other reasons for expulsion include cheating people out of money (139 BC Rome), money fraud (139 AD Rome, Italy), Jewish merchant activity (1130-1135 Genoa, Italy), coin-clipping (1278 – small towns in England), medical/financial malpractice (1327 Iglasias, Italy), manipulating the price of corn (1349 Strasbourg, Germany), forging coins and smuggling good coins out of the region (an attempted expulsion, 1522 Nuremberg, Germany), Jew silk-weavers expelled for illegality (1619 Kiev, Russia), criminality/racketeering (1777 Venice, Italy), Jew silk-weavers expelled for criminality/organized crime (1780 Padua, Italy), for Jewing the economy (1836 Bologna, Italy).

Siding with the enemy

This too has often triggered expulsion, e.g. local Jews caught “double-dealing” (66 Scythopolis, Greece), allying with Sicari from Palestine in revolt against Alexandrian prefect Tiberius Julius Lupus (72 Alexandria, Egypt), conspiring with Rome against Persia (255 Cappadocia), digging a tunnel from inside their synagogue under the city walls which the Persians used to breach the city of Telia, near Edessa (400-410 Telia, Byzantine Empire), plotting with an enemy to overthrow the King (558 or 561 Uzzes, Gaul), aiding influential Goths who had revolted (642 Visigoth Empire), siding with Jews of Septimania in revolt (673 Narbonne, France), allowing the invading Ottoman Turks to enter the city directly through the Jewish quarter with the assistance of the Jews (1453 Constantinople, Byzantine Empire), colluding with Turks in Hungary (attempted expulsion, 1530 Augsburg, Germany), aiding invading Turks (1541-1542 Bohemia, Germany), aiding the Turks at Lepanto (1571 Venice, Italy), siding with enemy after city is sacked during civil war (1639 Turin, Italy), treason (1683 Guadeloupe — French colony), helping Turks seige the city (1684 Buda, Hungary), “summoning the foreigner” (1799 Ancona, Italy), aiding Muslims during Italo-Turkish War (1911 Tuscany, Italy).

Subversion and revolution

This is another common reason for Jew expulsion, e.g. trying to physically take over a city screaming “Jews take precedence over Greeks” and “the city is ours” (66, Caesarea), revolting against Rome (67 Ascalon, Syria; 67 Bethhoron, Syria; 67 Antioch, Egypt), revolting against the Byzantine Empire (527-565), initiating revolt in Septimania (672 Spain), leading an uprising (567-578 Caesarea, Byzantine Empire), organizing a conspiracy against the republic (1442 San Marino, Italy), influencing the Marannos to act against Spain’s interests (1486 Saragossa, Spain), subversive activity (1799 Bologna and Milan, Italy), subversive activity (1799 Modena, Italy), subversive activity (1799 Mantua, Italy), subversive activity (1822 Rubiera, Italy), revolutionary sympathies (1831 Leghorn, Italy), financing/aiding Mazzini’s Young Italy (1833 Leghorn, Italy), Jewish rabbis expelled for revolutionary sympathies (1840 Piedmont, Italy), subversive activity (1842 Milan, Italy), aiding/financing revolution (e.g. 1848 Paris, France; Milan, Italy; Acqui, Italy; Venice, Italy; Berlin, Germany; Austria), subversive activity (1934 Piedmont, Italy), subversive activity (1937 Rome, Italy), spreading anti-Fascist propaganda (1940 Fiume, Italy),

Other crime

Other criminal offences that triggered Jew expulsion range from trying to destroy property of their host society (e.g. trying to set fire to the Greek amphitheatre, 66 Alexandria, Egypt; trying to set fire to a city, 71 Antioch, Egypt), extortion (1454 Genoa, Italy), bribery (e.g. after Jews tried to bribe the Pope, 1455 Rome, and a Cardinal, 1527 Rome) and a kidnapping ring (1783 Ancona, Italy).

In addition to offences such as the above-mentioned that triggered expulsion, there are numerous other occasions where the offended host society massacred the Jews in reaction to their crimes.

Summary of the Jew problem

Roman Historian Tacitus (AD 124, Histories, 5.15):

“. . . the other customs of the Jews are base and abominable, and owe their persistence to their depravity. . . . the Jews are extremely loyal toward one another, and always ready to show compassion, but toward every other people they feel only hate and enmity. . . . as a race [the Jews are not a race, because they have mingled with the other races to the point that they are only a people, not a race], they are prone to lust . . . among themselves nothing is unlawful.”

Gilad Atzmon (2011, Israel Economy for Beginners):²

Soon, Russians, Americans, Africans, Europeans, all of humanity, will realize that we are all Palestinians and we all share one enemy.
