On Pogroms

[HansHill]

- 100% of the blame on Jews for ethnic conflict.

No, actually. To re-iterate one final time: This thread is intended to explain the "Jewish Problem" to you, and more importantly, to others reading. We know ethnic violence erupted between Jews and Non-Jews, and in my effort post I summarised for you and others reading, some of the most documented reasons for these tensions and flare-ups. I assume you believe & agree with me, because you haven't attempted to refute any of them, but consider that post as a tiny slice of Solzhenitsyn's 200 Years Together. Regarding "blame" you'll note i mentioned words like "perceived" and "alien" and "incompatible" which are subjective and relative to a standard. Practicing Kapparot for example wouldn't be "alien" if everyone else was doing it too, but they weren't, hence it was only alien relative to majority of Russians / Eastern Europeans who in turn pogrommed your people. You'll also note i didn't say it was justified or a good thing, thats on you. I've merely stated that it happened (which it did) and why (which is why it did)

- Explain how this post is anything but a further provocation.

It addresses the central theme of this thread, which is you asking a question about a historical event about your people, becoming agitated when it's explained to you in black and white why specifically it happened, lashing out at your perceived ethnic outgroup (Huwite people), and doubling down when called out on it. In future, this thread, and your behaviour would be extremely puzzling to anybody who assumed naively you were ethnically neutral in these topics

- Wishing harm upon those who wish you harm isn’t “blood libel.” It’s normal human behavior.

No comment.

Given that it’s been two weeks since you made any argument other than the most recent one and given the sheer number of ppl participating in this thread, if you want me to answer, you’re going to have to rephrase.

If you want me to engage your position, state it plainly and succinctly.

Ok, let's lock this to cool things off a little bit.

In the future, we can start new discussions on the pogroms, the history of "the Jewish question," and the causes of anti-Semitism.
