GUEST POST by Mr. Cohen
Before I begin, please let me make one thing clear:
DO NOT argue or debate with Jew-haters.
STAY AWAY from them, both in the real world and the
internet world.
There are many reasons for this:
First, our obligation as Jews is to serve G_d, not
argue with Jew-hating lunatics.
Second, they can be dangerous, and even if you think
you are anonymous on the internet, you are not as anonymous as you think you
are, and they may find you, G_d forbid.
Third, many Jew haters are fanatics and/or lunatics,
who will never listen to anything you say, or even use your words against Jews
in ways you did not anticipate.
__________________________________________________________________
Still, there are rare situations when it helps to know how
to refute their accusations against Jews; for example, when a sincere Gentile
co-worker or neighbor is influenced by the accusations of the Jew haters.
__________________________________________________________________
One favorite accusation of the Jew-haters is that Jews have
been expelled from many countries and cities. Jew haters use this to imply that
Jews are bad people.
This accusation can be countered, like this.
When a Medieval king expelled Jews from his country, Jews
were usually not able to take their possessions with them, so all the
possessions of the Jews became the property of the king, including: land,
houses, furniture, gold, silver, jewels, farm animals, etc.
Even if the Jews had some way to take their money with them (which
was far from guaranteed) they could not take their larger possessions with
them. This permitted the kings to
increase their wealth quickly with little risk.
Additionally, when Jews were expelled, all debts owed to expelled
Jewish creditors became as if they never existed, or were made payable to the
king.
“Although King Philip IV had allowed Jews back into Paris,
in [year] 1306 [CE] he had cash flow problems. He therefore devised a secret
plot to solve the problem. On July 22, the day after Tisha B’Av, some
100,000 Jews were arrested and thrown into prison.
They were informed that they were going to be expelled and
could leave with only the clothes on their backs and a small sum of money. The
king had confiscated the rest of their possessions. In addition, any money owed
to them by Christians would be payable to the king.”

CONCLUSION:
Kings had big financial incentives to expel their Jews, and
also lords and dukes.
This explains why Jews were expelled dozens of times in the medieval
era.
__________________________________________________________________
Another reason why Jews were expelled many times from
Christian countries was that Medieval Christians did not tolerate people whose
beliefs disagreed with their own.
Medieval European Christians also persecuted other
Christians whose beliefs differed from their own.
Three very short examples:
EXAMPLE 1:
In October 1536 CE, William Tyndale was publicly executed
because he translated the Bible into English, even though he was Christian.
EXAMPLE 2:
The Thirty Years' War was a series of wars in Central Europe
between 1618 CE and 1648 CE.
It was one of the longest and most destructive
conflicts in European history, resulting in millions of casualties. It started
as a war between various Protestants and Catholics.
EXAMPLE 3:
“For the rest of his life, [Professor J.R.R.] Tolkien blamed
his mother’s death on the financial and emotional stress she suffered as a
result of her conversion to Catholicism and her consequent rejection by her
family.”
