This day in jew history

2021-07-16 19:20:47 1863: The New Draft Riots ended.
White men, mostly Irish, gathered
in front of the home (on West 34th Street and Eighth Avenue), of anti-Christ Republican leader and abolitionist Abram Dittenhoefer, shouting “Down with the abolitionists” and “Death to Dittenhoefer!” A messenger was dispatched to the police, whose “active club work,” Dittenhoefer later wrote, “dispersed the crowd.” They were working-class men who did not like the Union draft laws, which permitted some to pay to hire a substitute rather than going to war themselves.
Raging through the city, mobs killed 30 blacks, burned down the Colored Orphan Asylum at 44th Street and Fifth Avenue, killed or wounded 400 others, and destroyed about $5 million in property. President Lincoln ultimately had to divert several regiments following the Battle of Gettysburg to put down the riots.
The riots remain the largest civil and racially charged urban disturbance in American history.

Abram Dittenhoefer, a young South Carolinian, had moved to New York and helped to direct both of Lincoln’s presidential campaigns. He was the author of How We Elected Lincoln, and was later magistrate of the City Court of New York.

2021-07-16 17:23:44 1216: Pope Innocent III, a prelate who had an inimical effect on the Jewish people died.
In 1215 the Fourth Lateran Council, called by Pope Innocent III, decreed that, on the basis of Numbers 15:37-41, Jews should wear distinctive dress (a restriction also applied to Saracens and later to heretics, prostitutes and lepers). Open / Comment

2021-07-15 19:09:28 1887: “The English Jews in Politics,” published today reprinted the views of Goldwin Smith that originally appeared in the Fort-nightly Review. According to Smith, the anti-Christs supported the Liberal Party until they gained full rights (including the change in oath that made it possible for them to sit in Parliament) and then they “gravitated toward the party of wealth” – the Conservative Party.
Smith had also written that anti-Christs were responsible for a form of "repulsion" they provoked in others, due to their "peculiar character and habits", including a "preoccupation with money-making", which made them enemies of civilization. He also denigrated brit milah, as a "barbarous rite", and proposed assimilating anti-Christs or deporting them to Palestine as a solution to the Jewish problem.
He wrote that the Jewish objective has always been the same, since Roman times. 'We regard our race as superior to all humanity, and we do not seek our ultimate union with other races, but our final triumph over them.'

2021-07-15 18:16:16 1555: Paul IV issued Cum Nims Absurdum, the bull that ordered the creation of a Jewish ghetto in Rome.

Since it is completely senseless and inappropriate to be in a situation where Christian piety allows the anti-Christs (whose guilt-all of their own doing-has condemned them to eternal slavery) access to our society and even to live among us; indeed, they are without gratitude to Christians, as, instead of thanks for gracious treatment, they return invective, and among themselves, instead of the slavery, which they deserve, they manage to claim superiority: we, who recently learned that these very anti-Christs have insolently invaded Rome from a number of the Papal States, territories and domains, to the extent that not only have they mingled with Christians (even when close to their churches) and wearing no identifying garments, but to dwell in homes, indeed, even in the more noble [dwellings] of the states, territories and domains in which they lingered, conducting business from their houses and in the streets and dealing in real estate; they even have nurses and housemaids and other Christians as hired servants. And they would dare to perpetrate a wide variety of other dishonorable things, contemptuous of the name Christian...

2021-07-15 18:04:06 1099: Godfrey de Bouillon entered Jerusalem, drove all the Jews into the synagogue, and set them afire while he marched around the synagogue singing, "Christ, we adore thee".

According to historian and Associate Professor of History and Department Chair at Saint Louis University Thomas Madden, on television show “Uncommon Knowledge” (which aired April 22, 2002)
And they speak of three thousand, approximately, people being killed. But not, as you get the western sources, where they speak of rivers of blood, that people are wading through rivers of blood, show up all the time in the Middle Ages, but they're not real. But nevertheless, there was a massacre. As for the Jewish synagogue, what appears to be the case there, it probably happened, people have argued about it, but this was not a situation in which the Crusaders would have rounded up all the Jews and put them in the synagogue and said now we're burning it down because you are Jews in a synagogue. Rather, the Jews who were the Jewish defenders, and there weren't that many, but those Jewish defenders of the city in 1099, knew the rules of the game. They knew that their lives were forfeit now, and so they wanted to go to their synagogue and were allowed to go to their synagogue..." Open / Comment

2021-06-25 23:21:43 1899: “The Jews of Germany” published today attempted to garner sympathy for anti-Christs because of Count Walter Puckler-Muskau's somewhat successful attempt to follow in the steps of Adolf Stoeker, attempting to make his countrymen aware of jewish machinations. During his lectures in Berlin he encouraged his audience to wage a merciless war on ‘godless, lying, thievish Jews'.
In his addresses, mostly delivered in Berlin, he advised breaking into their stores, plundering, whipping, driving them from their homes, and killing them. From his constant repetition of "beat the Jews," "crack their skulls," "kick them out," and "thrash them," he has received the nickname "Dreschgraf" (the thrashing Count). The anti-jew journals, especially the Berlin "Staatsbürgerzeitung," which published his addresses, have greeted him as a worthy ally; yet some have repudiated his appeals to violence.
He was jailed in 1905, in which he appealed that one of the judges, Simonson, was jewish. Open / Comment

2021-06-25 20:30:29 1656: anti-Christ Rabbi Menashe Ben Yisrael applied for permission to practice talmudic Judaism in England to Cromwell's government.
Anti-Christs had been expelled in 1290 and only because of Cromwell were tolerated now. The Council of State granted permission. Cromwell and his followers were Puritans. They acceded to the readmission of anti-Christs to England at the behest of some very rich anti-Christs, like Luis Carvajal, who believed that the jewish messiah could not take come until anti-Christs populated all parts of the world.
Cromwell unfortunately died 2 short years later at the age of 59.

Attached is the letter the rabbi had delivered to Cromwell

2021-06-24 18:04:45 1843: “In in spite of the fact that the anti-Christs of the city had attempted to bribe officials by contributing 12,900 scudi to honor to the pope during his visit in 1841, an old decree was revived by Fra Vincenzo Soliva, Inquisitor of Ancona and other districts, forbidding anti-Christs to reside or do business in any place where there was no ghetto, to employ Christian journeymen, to hire Christian servants, wet-nurses, or apprentices, to deal in books of any sort or in ecclesiastical robes, etc.” Open / Comment

2021-06-24 17:10:13 1322: Charles IV of France (1322-28) expelled all anti-Christs. This was the second expulsion of anti-Christs from France.

Finally, Charles just ordered their expulsion. Open / Comment
