Were Jews Expelled from 109 Countries?

While it’s true that Jews have been expelled from several countries over the centuries, the exaggerated antisemitic trope of 109 countries serves as an ongoing excuse for neo-Nazi Jewish hatred.
The 109 trope discounts the social, political, and economic contexts for Jewish expulsions throughout the ages, and only enhances the generational trauma faced by Jewish communities worldwide resulting from two millennia of living in various host countries as, often unwelcome, guests.

If you get kicked out of 100 parties maybe its your own fault.

"We're oppressed but I'm not telling you why"

[jameseldridge]

This comment section brings me joy. That people aren't falling for the emotional propaganda, and are rightfully questioning the world we live in.

[TheMan]

“The Jew will tell you what happened to him, but he won’t tell you why.”

- Russian proverb

[erasedfromgenepool.]

They'll call you an antisemite but never a liar!

[crazygermanviper]

I accused my wife of cheating with 58 other men. She claimed she was innocent, and that 58 other men is nonsense - It were only 34 other men.

[PunishedMushu]

Reminds me of when a Jewish community got kicked out of a Maya town in Guatemala, because in their own words: "they tried to take over the town's economy".

[SocialismKills]

So it's true. Jews had been expelled many many times. Jews CAN be criticised, you are NOT the chosen people. People CAN be fed up with you.

[R.Yamasaki]

Sucks that people are waking up doesnt it?

[Narsty_Boy]

Imagine Google searching "how many countries have Jews been expelled from?" and finding this.

[WumblarMcSprungle]

You didn't actually explain why the claim is false, you just admitted that it happened but omitted a lot of the details on why jews were expelled.

[personalelorenzo]

Charging interest is the backbone of an economy he says with a straight face!

[barry_mckockner]

“How many buzz words should we use”

“All of them”

[sb]

I don’t even listen to the guy talking I just read the comments 😂😂😂

[nowheretoofar]

How do you go from nothing to having sufficient wealth to lend to royalty? There’s some essential history missing here.

[imho]

Palestine is enough to tell us why they kicked out from every countries…

[_Shimona]

I'd love to know the dislike count

[Ripshotta]

If i got kicked out of everywhere i go maybe its me that's the problem...

[simoncarrier]

More than that, actually. They get expelled so many times because they never change.

[huelerhuelin]

Anyone who thinks they are god's chosen ones are not your friends and are not good people.
