Correct. The “Four Myths” are just that and important to remember. But the murder of Jews in Europe as well as elsewhere is not one of the myths. To Jews, those thousands of lives were a major disaster, and the beginning of hundreds of years of persecution. In the overall bloodbath of Christians and Muslims, hardly noticed.

The Jews were the men in the middle. Unfortunate in that their livelihoods depended on the making of money. Shylock being the stereotype. They were bused and abused by both sides in this long war. However, driven from Europe, they gravitated to the Muslim side, where they had a little more security. But the point to remember is that there was a war from the 7th to the 19th Century between Christianity and Islam, of which few Westerners seem aware. Especially do they seem not to know that during much of this time, Christendom was in mortal peril. Ask the average Ivy League graduate what the name Lepanto” signifies, and observe the blank look. This would include Bill Clinton, I guess, and Barack Obama.
