Clifford's Tower -- Massacre in York, England (1190): "The site of Clifford's Tower, the keep of York's medieval castle, still bears witness to the most horrifying event in the history of English Jewry. On the night of 16 March 1190, the feast of Shabbat ha-Gadol, the small Jewish community of York was gathered together for protection inside the tower. Rather than perish at the hands of the violent mob that awaited them outside, many of the Jews took their own lives; others died in the flames they had lit, and those who finally surrendered were massacred and murdered." The Encyclopedia notes that the Crusades were a "bitter and prolonged ordeal" for the Jews of Europe; it was in this context that the massacre at York occurred in 1190: . . . The ignorant mobs were incited by the leaders of the Crusades to pillage and massacre whole Jewish communities. The cry was: "Before attempting to revenge ourselves upon the Moslem unbelievers, let us first revenge ourselves upon the 'killers of Christ' living in our midst!" Thousands of Jews perished, and entire Jewish communities were wiped out. To this day, the Jewish liturgy contains prayers commemorating the martyrs of that dreadful period. (p. 101)

And AMERICAN CHRISTIANS never allowed the persecution of JEWS in this wonderful country and AMERICAN CHRISTAINS fought the NAZIS to free the JEWS and AMERICAN CHRISTIANS support Israel and AMERICAN CHRISTIANS are fighting TERRORISM

And American Christians want to see "THE Passion of Christ" without it being labeled Anti-Semetic by FOXMAN
