11 Facts About the Crusades and the Jews
1. The Crusades Were “Holy” Wars
The Crusades were a series of “holy” wars carried out by European Christians primarily in the 11th-13th centuries. Their stated goal was to free Jerusalem from the Muslims, whom they viewed as infidels, and establish a Christian kingdom there. On their way to the Holy Land, the zealous mobs pounced on the opportunity to rid themselves of the “infidels” in their midst—the Jews, viciously decimating many Jewish communities.
2. They Were Initiated by Popes
Far from being a grassroots movement, the Crusades were called for and directed by the Popes themselves. Although they did not openly advocate for the murder of Jews, many church leaders were quick to turn a blind eye when these atrocities did occur.
3. The Crusaders’ Motives Were Far From Sacred
Politics played a large role in the papal decision to launch a crusade. For centuries, the Church had been at odds with the monarchs of Western Europe, each side jockeying for power. What greater strategy to undermine royal authority than to call for a religious war, uniting the masses under the Pope’s banner? As for the soldiers, they joined the Crusades as an easy way to get rich off plunder—and to obtain the Church’s promise of eternal salvation and automatic forgiveness for all their sins.
4. Soldiers Were Joined by Mobs of Peasants
Initially, the plan was for the Crusades to consist of armies of professional soldiers on an organized expedition to the Holy Land. But as religious hysteria spread throughout Europe, more and more peasants and commonfolk joined the Crusaders’ ranks. With tens of thousands of people joining the cause, any sense of order and discipline had now disappeared, and the masses, spurred by religious zeal and natural greed, felt free to act as they wished. In many cases, these mobs overwhelmed the forces of local rulers who attempted to protect their Jewish subjects.
Beit Shemesh "Bet" Chareidim Continue to Terrorize Beit Shemesh "Dalet" and Hire a Al Jazeera Photographer
"Hamas'nik get out of here"
Residents detained an Arab reporter who refused to identify himself after they suspected him of being an Al Jazeera journalist
This was filmed at the start of Yom Hatzmaot.
A resident of "Dalet", businessman Baruch Ashkenazi is seen preventing a foreign Arab photographer from documenting the Palestinian flag parade of the Chareidim of "Bet"
The photographer, who refused to identify himself or deny that he works for *Al Jazeera,* was invited to the parade by the "Bet'nickes" , following the custom of far-left organizations that post provocations against IDF soldiers in Israel.
Ashkenazi managed to prevent the photographer from documenting the Palestinian flag parade, and for many minutes he confronted the photographer, when, surprisingly, the one who tried to help the foreign photographer was *the ultra-Orthodox photographer, Yaakov Lederman*, who also during the year pastes the Pashkevils and the 'Kol Kora' letters of the fanatics, and is in close cooperation with them.
After a few minutes, dozens of other residents joined Ashkenazi and began to expel the Arab photographer.
The person who rescued the Al-Jazeera Photographer as mentioned, is Laderman, who was also invited by the extremists to document the parade.

Israeli Yated a bunch of Litvishe Savages! The Government Needs to Shut Them Down NOW!!!
As I keep telling you guys, the Chareidie world is a bunch of narcissistic uncaring disconnected people!
They have no empathy for those dying to protect their families! They don't care about anyone who doesn't conform to their parasitic way of life! Shut them down now! Boycott those who advertise with them!
And how did they get this info? From a smartphone, they didn't get it on a Kosher Phone! They keep writing in their vile rag against those with smartphones yet these hypocrites themselves get ALL their news from smartphones!
I also had this information from a chat, yet I didn't post it, not that I am a "tzaddik" I'm far from it, but I am not a RASHA!
They need to be drafted into the army! ASAP!
The Charedi daily Yated Ne'eman on Thursday morning roused a storm after its front page headline reported a "multi-casualty" incident in Gaza - before the matter was cleared for publication by the IDF.
The front page of the Lithuanian-haredi newspaper boasted a red background with the words, "Not cleared for publication: A multi-casualty incident." The newspaper was distributed before the incident, which killed five haredi 'Chetz' soldiers and injured several others, was cleared for publication.
Galatz journalist Doron Kadosh responded; "Whoever does not know the stomachaches, the stress, and the pressure of the families at home, when rumors start to come in; the hours of sleepless nights, of worry and fear' the phone calls to anyone who might have a drop of information - will not understand.
"He will not understand - and he will not be ashamed. His senses are dulled to the pain of bereavement."
Journalist Kobi Dahan responded: "Yated Ne'eman jumped off the diving board. They violated the censor. When there is no part or understanding, there is also no feeling or compassion."
Former journalist Omer Carmon responded: "The families of the soldiers are superheroes. The Yated Ne'eman this morning showed a horrific and terrifying display of insensitivity. If it is not cleared for publication in order not to hurt the families of the fallen, you do not publish it!!!!!"
