.... If we look closely, we can tell who is rewriting this history. Almost without exception, the Jewish protagonists remain in the shadows. You usually don't hear about them, and the few times Jews are mentioned in these stories, it is as helpless victims, being slaughtered for no apparent reason. In these stories of the Crusades, we are told the Crusaders were sent by the Pope to free the holy lands from malicious Arabs, but if that is the case why would we be slaughtering Jews? It never makes any sense. Given what we know about later history, a more likely scenario is that it is the Jews who wanted the holy lands cleansed of these Arabs, and it was they who were inviting and paying the Crusaders to come. [That is the story of that region to this day, although the Crusaders are now from the US.] We have already seen evidence of that above, since it is admitted the Byzantine emperors asked for help from the Pope. That is what started the Crusades. Well, I just showed you the Byzantine emperors at the time were Komnenos, and they were very likely of Jewish descent.

It is therefore very unlikely that Jews were indiscriminately slaughtered. If some were killed, it was likely by Crusaders who didn't know the difference between a Jew and an Arab. But my assumption is the Jewish deaths were vastly inflated, to deflect attention away from them in the overall story. Also to make them appear to be victims of a greater struggle they had little part in. Just the opposite of the truth, as usual.

But let us return to the Sixth Crusade......
