Antisemitism set limits on Jewish success and also the boundaries against which Jews pushed relentlessly - and often successfully. Although the lecture will focus on Jews, moments of acceptance and animosity...

    So what? Traditionals are not the only culprits in this. I have heard recently a young priest say at Mass that Christ had not come for the Jews whereas hundreds and thousands followed Christ in his time and that the furst disciples were ALL JEWS. The Chirch has created a si.ful confusion and nurished hate amongst peoples. Speaking about is good and necessary. However your présentation is unclear about présent day church. Difficult to save the Church whose fou.dations were distortion from the onset. The early fathers also accusé Jews of crucifying Jesus. What about the thousands in fear for their own lives? What about ROMANS who deed the dirty work of some politics of the day? Nicodemus and Joseph of Aimathea believed in JESHUHA and yet were part of the Sanhédrin but not political. Yes the Councils were all called by Emperors and politicised, distorted and emputated the Truth .

    one thing missing from this talk is the change in dynamics during Vichy France; Jews were no longer full citizens but rather subject to the same laws as in Germany, that of resident aliens with limited rights. that would have ( I think) put them on more-or-less equal footing with the Muslims. but I'd like to know.

    15:33 This has almost been erased from History . The Vichy Republic under Philip Petain , Darlan and Pierre Laval were collaborating with the Nazi's . They rounded up and exported Jewish People who were then murdered . . So Philip Petain was the National Hero after the Battle Verdun in WW I , but then was a war criminal who collaborated with the Nazi's during WW II . After the war , he was brought to trial and convicted , but his death sentence was reduced because of his age . .

    10:48 Daniel - suggest studying the Enlightenment a bit more. The Enlightenment began in the late 17th Century in England and Scotland . Numerous philosophies began to be ACCEPTED during the Enlightenment , and 2 of them were 1 ) Issac Newton presented his methodology as a set of four rules for scientific reasoning . Science began to be ACCEPTED over Religion . 2 ) Classical Liberalism - the promotion of equal rights of all citizens . John's Locke's ideas of religious toleration and separation of Church and State . Individuals took Darwin's Scientific Theory of Evolution and used it to come up with a quack theory called Social Darwinism . Social Darwinism allowed various groups to claim racial superiority . Social Darwin is not based on science , is NOT part of the Enlightenment and this quackery came to an end after WW II . The Enlightenment should be viewed as its theories spread throughout the West over a 300 year period . Various groups led revolutions and protests to obtain the same rights as the King . For example , during the Glorious Revolution , the Monarchy agreed to recognize the Sovereignty of ELECTED Parliamentarians and Parliament . During the 19th Century , as a result of the Chartest Movement , and 3 Parliamentary Reform Acts , the Labour class obtained voted Rights and Democratic ideals were improved . As a result of the Suffragette Movement and WW I , women obtained voting rights . The use of Child Labour and Slavery in the West was phased out because of the gradual ACCEPTANCE of Enlightenment philosophies. .

    Great lecture and insights. Thanks. I’d say Islam did expand by the sword for the first couple centuries, as was commanded in Surah 9:29. The prior Caliph in Baghdad tried to kick out non-Muslims and got overthrown. Abbasid then learned from their mistake and now did allow non-Muslims. I‘ve heard so often over the years that in 700-900 CE Baghdad was the golden era of Islamic enlightenment with algebra, astronomy, medicine, etc. As you say “they ingratiated themselves” into Judaism. They certainly did, hence trying to make themselves an Abrahamic religion in medieval times 😂 Muslims claim to be connected to Abraham by Ishmael, yet the truth comes through Isaac and Jacob, which Muslims are commanded to believe but don’t. Surah 2:136 “We believe in Allah, and in what has been revealed to us and to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the descendants (of Jacob) and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and in what the other Prophets received from their Lord.” So their whole attempt to borrow from Jewish patriarchs and make them their own, yet also be a “final revelation” of them, is contradictory and confusing because the truth came through Isaac and Jacob, not Ishmael. Nevertheless, what is called the Islamic Golden age, I call “the time Muslims caught up because they were in a location which enabled them to”. 1. that area was predominantly Christian, along with many Jews living there. It wasn't a full on Muslim country yet. 2. It was the biggest trade hub connecting 3 continents. They had access to everything. 3. They didn't invent algebra, but improved it. And it was improved upon later even more by Europeans and others. 4. They allowed all the Ancient Greek philosophy and other writings to be translated into Arabic so they could all finally catch up with what others had taught before. It's like North Korea moving to a place of trade and allowing themselves to finally gleam from others. Or it's like how Dubai is so successful today because of how un-Islamic it is and puts a huge limit on Sharia law and brings in Europeans, Australians, and others to design and build their infrastructure and buildings.

    Does anybody know about the Berbers of Morocco? Where do they fit in history. I know that they were fighters in the Umayyad Caliphate that conquered the Iberian Peninsula in the year 711 AD. This particular peoples are very light skin and some have blue eyes. I know that in the Diaspora Jews were scattered to the four winds. And some scholars believe that some Jews were scattered before the Diaspora. Is it possible that the Berbers were Jewish, and became Moslems in order to survive? I know that they were ferocious warriors, until some were stopped by Charles Martell in the battle of Tours in October 10, 732 AD. Maybe somebody knows more about this people? Any thing is possible. There’s so much, that history has hidden from us, or things that the victors have hidden from us.

    Wolfgang Birkner and his SS Einsatzkommando was responsible for the organised action in Jedwabne. There are German(!) documents confirming this. Part of the plan, (one of the many like this in the region), was to design a covert operation which would indict the local population. Local population wasn't even 100% Polish in the region at that time. It's possible for example, there were some volksdeutsche among the cooperants. Gross' thesis doesn't hold water at all. I'd encourage the readers not to take anything they read at the face value. What I wrote can be verified-do your own research as with anything else.
