They brought in arabs, they brought in gypsies, they brought in lice and ticks, they brought about practices that spread disease, they prevented practices that solved disease, they promoted the spread of harmful lies about the disease, they themselves got infected, spread the infection among themselves, and then gave it to the population, etc.
But the fact that they were responsible and the accusations were 100% true doesn't matter, because it "came from a place of anti semitism" and therefore we can pretend the accusations weren't true.
One of the noted factors about the accusation was that the Jewish ghettos had been left remarkably unscathed, like Poland. Hence why they accused them of poisoning water supplies (they would then know to get their water from somewhere else).
Don't criticize the 'chosen' ones-Hang'em.
if they spread it amongst themselves, then why did poland completely avoid it?
the black plague arrived around 1350, just after a lot of europe had cracked down on the jews, forcing them to flee to poland. it hit hardest in places like venice, which had come to dominate trade. after this period, you start to detect jewish influence or 'tolerance' trend in these merchant districts. almost as if the competition had been killed off.
Because Poland was considered a rural nation. Poland's bigger cities suffered the plague as much as other nations.
No, they didn't. Why lie?...
So they were rural, with some big cities? Guess what dumb fuck, so was every other nation.
