Yeah, I love how they’re so flippant about Christian treatment of Jews back then versus Muslim treatment of Jews back then, as though such things are unheard of today. Might be because, between now and then, outright hostility and murderous intent was replaced with depraved indifference and secret loathing. I’ve lost track of the number of stories I’ve read over the years from such bastions of “tolerance” as France, where people turned a blind eye to the beating, rape, and murder of Jewish citizens because it “wasn’t their problem.” Or that figure of high-minded journalism, Helen Thomas, telling Jews to “go back to Germany and Poland.”
