"The Jews as outcasts: Jews have been a wondering people from
the time of the beginning. History is filled with preemptory
edicts, expelling Jews from where they had made their homes.
At times the edicts were the result of trumped up charges
against the Jews or Judaism, and later proved to be false.
At other times they were the consequence of economic situation,
which the authorities believed would be improved if the Jews
were removed.
Almost always the bands were only temporary as below.
The culminate impact on the psychic on the Jewish people however,
has been traumatic. And may very well be indelible.
The following is a list, far from complete. Hardly a major Jewish
community has not been expelled BY ITS HOST COUNTRY.
Only to be let back in again, later to be expelled once more."
