>After the jews destroyed Rome As much as the jews are poison, Rome was imploding long long before they got there, or the Romans got to Judea. Rome died when it stopped being a confederation of citizen-soldiers and started being a gibs program with really impressive circuses (ie. somewhere towards the end of the republic). The empires and their economies strongly resemble modern Venezuela: Hyperinflation, price fixing and the ruling class desperately printing money to pay the army not to overthrow them. >No jew was allowed to hold any post in the empire, nor was he allowed to educate the young. "Known by imperial edict" is awfully vague. Can I have a source? >In fact the jews lives unmolested and prosperously in the empire throughout it's history And here is one of the achilles heels of christianity. At the same time the Byzantines were doing their level best to suppress and eradicate native european religions, they were giving jews special dispensation to continue practicing theirs. Christianity gives jews more rights than europeans. >And the jews were not able to excercise any influence \>Doubt
