This week I learned a lot about how the Jewish people were affected by the Crusades. The Christian Romans took over Palestine and destroyed the Jewish temple. The Jews were never aloud in the city except for once a year to mourn the destruction of their temple. Pope Alexander II had to intervene to save the Jews. It did not all go away and Pope Urban II reinstated Pope Alexander II intervention and tried to take all the crime on the Jews and reroute that to fight the Muslims. The Jews never had a say and was never able to fight back and take back their city. As more and more time went on it became normal that the Jews didn't really have a place to call their own.
