What a shameless reach this is. He was a Jewish King in Yemen trying to rid the country of Ethiopian rule. Yemenite nationalist forces under Dhu Nuwas included Jews, pagans, and Christians. Ethiopian propaganda painted the the rule of Dhu-Nuwas as a Jewish religious, anti-Christian action and called for a "righteous war" against Yemen.

A reach? Dhu-Nuwas: 1.) burned Churches, 2.) killed priests and bishops, 3.) massacred up to 20,000 people who would not renounce Christianity, and 4.) sent letters boasting of what he did to the courts at Ctesiphon and Hira and encouraged them to do likewise to the Christians in their kingdoms.

Yeah, a real reach.

Catholics have owned up to the atrocities committed in the name of their Faith and apologized where necessary. Would that other groups were as forthcoming and penitent.

I'm sure Jews wouldn't mind owning up to it if it wasn't such an anti-semetic piece of crap history.
