{{Anti-Semitism}} This is a partial chronology of hostilities towards or discrimination against the [[Jew]]s as a religious or ethnic group. See '''main article [[Anti-Semitism]]''' for etymology, roots, traits and disputes on what is sometimes called "the longest hatred."[http://www.richardwebster.net/antisemitismthelongesthatred.html] Here we note significant events in the history of anti-Semitism: as well as important anti-Semitic actions, we also give events in the history of anti-Semitic thought, actions taken to combat or relieve the effects of anti-Semitism, and events that affected the prevalence of anti-Semitism in later years. ==Ancient animosity towards Jews== ;[[3rd century BCE]]: According to the 1st century Jewish historian [[Flavius Josephus]] ([http://www.ccel.org/ccel/josephus/works/files/apion-1.htm ''Against Apion''] Bk 1.14, 1.26), [[Manetho]], a [[Hellenistic]] [[Ancient Egypt|Egyptian]] chronicler and priest, in his books on Egyptian history, alleges that [[Moses]] was not a Jew, but an Egyptian renegade priest called [[Osarseph]], and portrays the [[Exodus]] as the expulsion of a [[leper]] colony. Josephus argues that Manetho's claims are inconsistent. ;[[175 BCE]]-[[165 BCE]]: [[Antiochus Epiphanes]] sacks [[Jerusalem]], calls [[Judaism]] "inimical to humanity", prohibits ''[[brit milah]]'', confiscates copies of [[Torah]] and erects an altar to [[Zeus]] in the [[Second Temple]] after plundering it. (See also [[Maccabees]], [[Hanukkah]]) ;[[2nd century BCE]]: [[Mnaseas of Patros]], a [[Greek literature|Greek]] author, reports that the Jews worship a donkey's head in the [[Holy of Holies]]. This legend was repeated by [[Apollonius Molon]], [[Democritus]], [[Apion]] (cited by Josephus in [http://www.ccel.org/ccel/josephus/works/files/apion-2.htm "Against Apion"] Bk 2.7), and [[Plutarch]], the latter indicating that Jews venerated donkeys ([http://etext.library.adelaide.edu.au/p/plutarch/symposiacs/chapter4.html#section39 ''Symposiacs''] Bk 4.5). ;[[19]]: Roman Emperor [[Tiberius]] expels Jews from Rome. [[Lives of the Twelve Caesars|Suetonius]] Tranquillus, in ''Lives of the Twelve Caesars'', Vol 3, Tiberius, Section 36, says that Tiberius "suppressed all foreign religions... . He distributed the Jewish youths, under the pretence of military service, among the provinces noted for an unhealthy climate; and dismissed from the city all the rest of that nation as well as those who were proselytes to that religion [335], under pain of slavery for life, unless they complied." [[Josephus]], in his ''Jewish Antiquities'' (18.3.5), likewise says that Tiberius "ordered all the Jews to be banished out of Rome," taking "four thousand men out of them, and sent them to the island Sardinia; but punished a greater number of them, who were unwilling to become soldiers, on account of keeping the laws of their forefathers. Thus were these Jews banished out of the city ..." [[Cassius Dio]] writes about Tiberius, "As the Jews flocked to Rome in great numbers and were converting many of the natives to their ways, he banished most of them." (Roman History, 57.18.5a) ;[[37]]-[[41]]: Thousands of Jews killed by mobs in Alexandria (Egypt), as recounted by [[Philo of Alexandria]] in ''Flaccus''. ;[[50]]: Jews ordered by Roman Emperor [[Claudius]] "not to hold meetings", in the words of Cassius Dio (Roman History, 60.6.6). Claudius later expelled Jews from Rome, according to both Suetonius ("Lives of the Twelve Caesars", Claudius, Section 25.4) and Acts 18:2. ;[[66]]-[[73]]: [[Great Jewish Revolt]] against the Romans is crushed by [[Vespasian]] and [[Titus Flavius]]. Titus refuses to accept a wreath of victory, as there is "no merit in vanquishing people forsaken by their own God." ([[Philostratus]], ''Vita Apollonii''). The events of this period were recorded in detail by the Jewish-Roman historian [[Josephus]]. His record is largely sympathetic to the Roman view, and hence is considered a controversial source. Josephus describes the Jewish revolt as being led by "tyrants," to the detriment of the city, and of Titus as having "moderation" in his escalation of the [[Siege of Jerusalem (70)]]. ;[[1st century]]: Fabrications of [[Apion]] in [[Alexandria, Egypt]], including the first recorded [[blood libel]]. [[Satires of Juvenal|Juvenal]] writes anti-Jewish poetry. [[Josephus]] picks apart contemporary and old anti-Semitic myths in his work ''Against Apion''. ([http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/gutbook/author?name=Josephus,%20Flavius e-text at Project Gutenberg]) ;Late 1st–early 2nd century: [[Tacitus]] writes anti-Jewish polemic in his ''[[Histories (Tacitus)|Histories]]'' ([http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?lookup=Tac.+Hist.+5.1 book 5]). He reports on several old myths of ancient anti-Semitism (including that of the donkey's head in the Holy of Holies), but the key to his view that Jews "regard the rest of mankind with all the hatred of enemies" is his analysis of the extreme differences between [[monotheistic]] Judaism and the [[polytheism]] common throughout the Roman world. ;[[115]]-[[117]]: Thousands of Jews are killed during civil unrest in Egypt, Cyprus, and Cyrenaica, as recounted by [[Dio Cassius]]' ''History of Rome'' (68.31), and [[Eusebius]]' ''Historia Ecclesiastica'' (4.2), and papyrii. ;c. [[119]]: [[Roman emperor]] [[Hadrian]] bans [[circumcision]], making Judaism ''de facto'' illegal. ;c. [[132]]-[[135]]: Hadrian constructs a [[Paganism|pagan]] temple to Jupiter at the site of the [[Temple in Jerusalem]], builds Aelia Capitolina among ruins of Jerusalem and crushes the [[Bar Kokhba's revolt]]. [[Judea]] is wiped off the map and renamed into [[Palestine]]; Jews are left [[Jewish diaspora|dispersed]] and stateless. ;[[167]]: Claimed to be the first recorded accusation of [[deicide]]. A sermon, attributed to [[Melito of Sardis]], titled ''[http://www.kerux.com/documents/KeruxV4N1A1.asp On the Passover]'' (''Peri Pascha''), blames the Jews for following King Herod and Caiaphas to execute [[Jesus]], despite their calling as God's people (57, 93). Melito says, "you did not know, O Israel, that this one was the firstborn of God." (82) Melito does not attribute particular blame to [[Pontius Pilate]], but only mentions that Pilate washed his hands of guilt (92). Melito wrote this sermon in Greek, so does not use the Latin word for deicide, ''deicida''. (According to the ''[http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/resolveform?lang=Latin Latin Dictionary]'' of Charleton Lewis and Charles Short, the latin word ''deicidas'' is used by the 4th century, by Peter Chrystologus in his sermon #172.) At a time when Christians were widely persecuted, Melitos speech was an appeal to Rome to spare Christians. == [[4th century]] == {{jew}} ;[[306]]: The [[Synod of Elvira]] bans intermarriage between [[Christianity|Christians]] and [[Jew]]s. Other social intercourses, such as eating together, are also forbidden. ;[[315]]-[[337]]: [[Constantine I (emperor)|Constantine I]] enacts various laws regarding the Jews: Jews are not allowed to own Christian slaves or to circumcise their slaves. Conversion of Christians to Judaism is outlawed. Congregations for religious services are restricted, but Jews are also allowed to enter the restituted Jerusalem on the anniversary of the Temple's destruction. ;[[325]]: [[First Council of Nicaea|First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea]]. The [[Christian Church]] separates the calculation of the date of [[Easter]] from the Jewish [[Passover]]: "We desire, dearest brethren, to separate ourselves from the detestable company of the Jews... How, then, could we follow these Jews, who are almost certainly blinded." ;[[361]]-[[363]]: Roman Emperor [[Julian the Apostate|Julian]], a pagan, allows the Jews to return to "holy Jerusalem which you have for many years longed to see rebuilt" and to rebuild the Temple. ;[[386]]: [[John Chrysostom]] of [[Antioch]] writes eight [[homilies]] ''Adversus Judaeos'' (lit: Against the Judaizers). See also: [[Christianity and anti-Semitism#The Church Fathers]]. ;[[388]]: A Christian mob incited by the local bishop plunders and burns down a synagogue in [[Callinicum]]. [[Theodosius I]] orders punishment for those responsible, and rebuilding the synagogue at the Christian expense. [[Ambrose|Ambrose of Milan]] insists in his letter that the whole case be dropped He interrupts the liturgy in the emperor's presence with an ultimatum that he would not continue until the case was dropped. Theodosius complies. ;[[399]]: The Western [[Roman Emperor]] [[Flavius Augustus Honorius|Honorius]] calls Judaism ''superstitio indigna'' and confiscates gold and silver collected by the synagogues for Jerusalem. == [[5th century]] == ;[[415]]: Jews are accused of [[ritual murder]] during [[Purim]].Socrates Scholasticus, ''Ecclesiastical History'' VI,16 Christians in [[Antioch]], and [[Magona]] confiscate or burn synagogues.

After the local synagogues were burned down by the local mob, [[Ostrogoth]]ic king [[Theodoric the Great]] orders the town to rebuild them at its own expense. ;[[529]]-[[559]]: [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] Emperor [[Justinian the Great]] publishes ''[[Corpus Juris Civilis]]''. New laws restrict citizenship to Christians. These regulations determined the status of Jews throughout the Empire for hundreds of years: Jewish civil rights restricted: "they shall enjoy no honors". The principle of ''Servitus Judaeorum'' (Servitude of the Jews) is established: the Jews cannot testify against Christians. The emperor becomes an arbiter in internal Jewish matters. The use of the [[Hebrew language]] in worship is forbidden. [[Shema Yisrael]] ("Hear, O Israel, the Lord is one"), sometimes considered the most important prayer in Judaism, is banned as a denial of the [[Trinity]]. Some Jewish communities are converted by force, their synagogues turned into churches. ;[[535]]: The First Council of [[Clermont]], Gaul prohibits Jews from holding public office. ;[[538]]: The Third Council of [[Orléans]], Gaul forbids Jews to employ Christian servants or possess Christian slaves. Jews are prohibited from appearing in the streets during [[Easter]]: "their appearance is an insult to Christianity". A Merovingian king [[Childebert I|Childebert]] approves the measure. ;[[576]]: Clermont, Gaul. Bishop Avitus offers Jews a choice: accept Christianity or leave Clermont. Most emigrate to [[Marseille]]. ;[[589]]: The Council of [[Narbonne]], Septimania, forbids Jews from chanting [[psalms]] while burying their dead. Anyone violating this law is fined 6 ounces of gold. The third [[Councils of Toledo|Council of Toledo]], held under [[Visigoth]]ic King [[Reccared]], bans Jews from slave ownership and holding positions of authority, and reiterates the mutual ban on intermarriage. "Toledo", ''Catholic Encyclopedia'' [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14755a.htm] Reccared also rules children out of such marriages to be raised as Christians. ;[[590]]: [[Pope Gregory I]] defends the Jews against forced conversion. == [[7th century]] == ;[[610]]-[[620]]: [[Visigoth]]ic [[Hispania]] After many of his anti-Jewish edicts were ignored, king [[Sisebur]] prohibits [[Judaism]].

King [[Ergica]] believes rumors that the Jews had conspired to ally themselves with the [[Muslim]] invaders and forces Jews to give all land, slaves and buildings bought from Christians, to his treasury. He declares that all Jewish children over the age of seven should be taken from their homes and raised as Christians. == [[8th century]] == ;[[717]]: Possible date for the Pact of Umar, a document that specified restrictions on Jews and Christians (''[[dhimmi]]'') living under Muslim rule. However, academic historians believe that this document was actually compiled at a much later date. ;[[722]]: [[Byzantine emperor]] [[Leo III the Isaurian|Leo III]] forcibly converts all [[Jew]]s and [[Montanist]]s in the empire into mainstream Byzantine Christianity. == [[9th century]] == ;[[807]]: [[Abbassid]] [[Caliph]] [[Harun al-Rashid]] orders all Jews in the Caliphate to wear a [[Yellow badge|yellow belt]], with Christians to wear a blue one. ;[[820]]: [[Agobard]], Archbishop of [[Lyon]], declares in his essays that Jews are accursed and demands a complete segregation of Christians and Jews.

The third, unofficial host, led by [[Emicho|Count Emicho]], decides to attack the Jewish communities, most notably in the [[Rhineland]], under the slogan: "Why fight Christ's enemies abroad when they are living among us?" Eimicho's host attacks the synagogue at Speyers and kills all the defenders. Another 1,200 Jews commit suicide in Mayence to escape his attempt to forcibly convert them; see [[German Crusade, 1096]]. Attempts by the local bishops remained fruitless. All in all, 5,000 Jews were murdered. [[St. Bernard]] attempts to stop further atrocities: "Whoever makes an attempt on a life of a Jew, sins as if he had attacked Jesus himself." == [[12th century]] == ;[[1107]]: Moroccan [[Almoravid]] ruler Yoseph Ibn Tashfin orders all Moroccan Jews to convert or leave. ;[[1143]]: 150 Jews were killed in [[Ham, France|Ham]], France. ;[[1144]] March 20 (Passover): The first [[blood libel]] in which the Jews of [[Norwich]], England were accused of [[ritual murder]] after a Christian boy ([[William of Norwich]]) is found dead. It was claimed that the Jews had tortured and crucified their victim. From this time forward, similar charges were levelled against Jews in all quarters of Europe. The believers of these accusations reasoned that the Jews, having crucified Jesus, continued to thirst for pure and innocent blood and satisfied their thirst at the expense of innocent Christian children. In accordance with this logic, the season of such charges was typically in Spring around the time of Passover which approximately coincides with the time of Jesus' death. [Ben-Sasson, H.H., Editor; (1969). ''A History of The Jewish People''. Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts. ISBN 0-674-39731-2 (paper).] The legend of [[William of Norwich]] became a cult, and the child acquired status of martyr saint.

(Canon 68). See [[Judenhut]]. The [[Fourth Lateran Council]] also noted that the Jews' own law required the wearing of identifying symbols. [[Pope Innocent III]] also reiterated papal injunctions against forcible conversions, and added: "No Christian shall do the Jews any personal injury...or deprive them of their possessions...or disturb them during the celebration of their festivals...or extort money from them by threatening to exhume their dead." ;[[1222]]: Council of [[Oxford]]: [[Archbishop of Canterbury]] [[Stephen Langton]] forbids Jews from building new synagogues, owning slaves or mixing with Christians. ;[[1232]]: forced mass conversions in [[Marrakesh]]. ;[[1235]]: The Jews of Fulda, Germany were accused of [[ritual murder]]. To investigate the [[blood libel]], Emperor Frederick II held a special conference of Jewish converts to Christianity at which the converts were questioned about Jewish ritual practice. Letters inviting prominent individuals to the conference still survive. At the conference, the converts stated unequivocally that Jews do not harm Christian children or require blood for any rituals. In 1236 the Emperor published these findings and in 1247 [[Pope Innocent IV]], the Emperor's enemy, also denounced accusations of the [[ritual murder]] of Christian children by Jews. In 1272, the papal repudiation of the [[blood libel]] was repeated by [[Pope Gregory X]], who also ruled that thereafter any such testimony of a Christian against a Jew could not be accepted unless it is confirmed by another Jew. Unfortunately, these proclamations from the highest sources were not effective in altering the beliefs of the Christian majority and the libels continued. [Ben-Sasson, H.H., Editor; (1969).
