szkotja2007: And the only country that has never discriminated against Jews in Europe is ?
Scots didn`t discriminate Jews. They preferred to discriminate the Irish.
In fact, it has been claimed that bigotry was diverted away from Jews by anti-Catholicism, particularly in Glasgow, where the main racist and religious prejudice was against Irish people.
Polonius3: We consatntly hear of real or alleged Polish anti-Semitism,
Hmm, aren`t you the one who lets us hear about it very often here in the forum??? :):):)
Polonius3: Have Jews over the ages displayed love and support for and solidarity and empathy with the only country that took them in?
Polonius3: Only the Poland of Casimir theGreat gave them a safe haven for their religion, culture and fortunes to thrive.
Hey, have you got any idea that Casimir the Great ruled in 14 century? That was 700 years ago! Why does everyone always refer to this king as if he was the only one in Poland and no one after him? :):):)
What about other kings? E.g., Jan Olbracht in 15 century. Do you know how Kazimierz, today one of Krakow`s districts, became a Jewish community? It is simple, Catholic citizens organized so many pogroms in Krakow proper that Jews were resettled by the king`s order into a seperate town next to Krakow, called Kazimierz after the previous king.
Why don`t you read more history? :):):)
The Jewish community in Kraków had lived undisturbed alongside their Christian neighbours under the protective King Kazimierz III. By the reign of King Jogaila (reigned in Poland 1386-1434), however, relations had deteriorated and pogroms began to occur with increasing frequency. As part of the re-founding of the Cracow Academy, starting in 1400, the Academy began to buy out buildings in the old Jewish district. The Jewish community moved to the area around modern Plac Szczepański. During the last decade of the fifteenth century anti-Semitism led many Jews to move out of Kraków to nearby Kazimierz
