Status Updates From La historia de los judíos (...

Interesting to read about Karl Marx, a jew by background, but a virulent anti-Semite, and how his theory of Socialism morphed from anti-Semitic tropes as emblematic of capitalism into demonising an entire "class"

Really interesting to learn about the "court Jews" of Europe, serving princes and regents faithfully during periods of crisis in Europe, only to be betrayed by successive rulers, naked greed leading to seizures and arrests. Also amazing to learn about the Oppenheimer's and the defence of Vienna for the Hapsburgs.
Also enjoying learning about mystic Kabbalah and all the craziness surrounding it and false messiahs

Still really enjoying this. Really interesting to see the development of Christianity and Islam out into context against what was happening to Jews in the middle east and Europe during that time

Thoroughly depressing to see the levels of anti-semitism perpetrated in both Christian and Moslem world (that continues to this day), the bare faced cycnicism with which it was deployed
