Oh, watch the little ignorant beggar lash out. This doesn't change the topic, if you want prejudice & hatred, ethnic cleansing & murdering of Jews, look no further than the Jews themselves. Once again we find you wanting to ignore history but who was the Hebrew high priest that killed 6,000 Pharisees in one day & had 800 more crucified & families throat's slit in front of their eyes? All while this Jewish priest dined & feasted while they died? Sadducees and Pharisees , Jewish King Alexander Jannaeus & 800 Crucifixions jewishhistory.org The Situation Comes to a HeadThere were a number of matters that brought the situation to a head. The most horrific example took place on Sukkot, one of the pilgrimage festivals when hundreds of thousands of Jews from all over the land flocked to Jerusalem and fill the Temple courtyard. During the height of the most joyous part of the festival, Alexander Jannaeus — as the High Priest — performed a key part of the ceremony in an openly Sadducee way. It was an intentionally provocative public declaration on behalf of the Sadducees. He well knew that his audience was overwhelmingly made up of Pharisees. They responded by pelting him with the citron fruits used as part of the observance of the festival. In his wrath, he ordered his non-Jewish mercenary soldiers into the Temple to slaughter at will and they butchered 6,000 Jews that day. Josephus, in recounting it more than a century and a half later, recounts how the troughs in the Temple ran red with blood. Alexander Jannaeus attempted to arrest the last of the Pharisee leaders. Most escaped. However, those he caught were often executed via crucifixion, which he learned from the Romans. In one incident, he nailed 800 people to crucifixes in one day along the road outside Jerusalem and slew their wives and children in front of them as they slowly died on the crucifix.
