Behold - The record

=============================================================

"Know ye not history and you are doomed to repeat it."
Know ye your history of malice and repeat it, and the malice
of consequences repeateth also.
No group in the world has such a repeated history in the world as the
Hebrews. They relish in recounting this history as if it is a high
point of achievement, without going through the recognized procedure
of objectively learning from history. It is always the other guy who
is at fault. 

"The Jewish Book of Days"

is a small hard covered calender book starting off with January and
ending in December and no particular year involved. Each page is
divided up into seven horizontal spaces, each one having a numerical
date corresponding to the month and in each space there is a notation
for something the Jews find significant, such as Janurary 1 notes
"Hank Greenberg, professional baseball player, born (1911)" or June 27
notes "The Yiddish newspaper Die Yidishe Velt began publication in New
York (1902)".
The Jewish history also cites among the attaining people and moments
of their history a substantial recollection of their effects on
others, the first appearing under the book date,

So here we have a recurrant theme spanning ten centuries and many
different areas. We might assume that this rejoicing record compiled
by the Jewish community is that which they were able to find but that
the full account, if records were available, might excede this by many
times.
Holocaust books give us a more up to date account about raging
resentments among a variety of countries in this century, especially
in their accounts of Einsatzgruppens, where we might get the idea that
people in Hungary, Romania, Ukraine, White Russia and else where, had
more to do with whatever really happened than the Germans. 
We also have to recognize, aside from any moral judgements, that
whatever really happened during WW II is a continuation of the listed
history above.
Since these bewailings of dates of reactions are always devoid of
discussing any extenuating circumstances we are left to wonder about
the ultimate cause and effect of the reoccurance. Nevertheless, one
example of the above has found it's way into history books as to any
details. This is the Spanish expulsion of Jews in 1492. 
The historical account of Jews in Spain starts off with them
finding their way into the land as tagalongs to the invading Moorish
army, thus making them complicit in the invasion. After a few
centuries the Moors were rightfully ejected from Spain, but the Jews
were allowed to stay, evidentally in consideration of their biblical
connection. Inspite of this initial forgiving accomodation a change of
heart occurred. Evidentally the Jews had saturated much of the trade,
including the agricultural chain, and eventually it got to the point
of intolerance and the Spanish reacted.
About three years ago Spain allowed itself to be badgered into giving
a formal apology for this history.

The one thing that is certain from the overall history of the Jews,
by their own accounting, aside from any discussion of cause and
effect, is that for some reason many generations in many nations
allowed the Jews to establish themselves but for some reason became
irratated to the point of severe reaction, which the Jews call
"persecution".
It is evident that great rage was directed towards the Jews, and we
must recognize that the Jews repeated history suggests that they are
the ultimate responsibility for whatever happened to them. They can
propagandize all they want about how brilliant they are, how
benevolent they are, but their own history does not support it.
The most repeated history in the history of the world.
