Anti Semitic Wikipedia celebrates French king's antisemitism
« on: June 19, 2013, 06:18:52 AM »
On Wikipedia homepage's On this day...'s section, the first line reads:

"1269 – Louis IX of France imposed a fine of ten livres of silver on Jews found in public without a yellow badge."


This is the first thing I would "like to know" after waking up. >:(

We all know that europe, especially france, have always been antisemitic hellhole. Why not publicizing something else?

I get you here, but I don't see how they are celebrating it...

Wikipedia in general is anti-Semitic. Keep that in mind.

I am not upset they have that. This happened and is in the history books. It doesn't 'celebrate' it but rather it reminds us that they were antisemitic. Chabads 'Today in History' shows many tragedies which have happened to the Jews around the world.

The factoid itself is not anti Jewish. It hadn't been known to me before you before you posted it so thanks for the info I am always glad to learn new facts.
