Limerick Pogrom ex Wiki
QUOTE
The history of
Limerick
, stretches back to its establishment by the
Vikings as a walled city on
King's Island (an island in the
River Shannon) in 812, and its
charter in 1197.
A great castle was built on the orders of King John in 1200. It was besieged three times in the 17th century, resulting in the famous Treaty of Limerick and the flight of the defeated Catholic leaders abroad. Much of the city was built during the following Georgian prosperity, which ended abruptly with the Act of Union in 1800. The depression was to last nearly two centuries, through the Great Irish Famine (1845-1849), Irish War of Independence, and neutrality emergency of the second world war, until the economic boom from the 1990s until 2008. Today the city has a growing multicultural population.....
Census returns record one Jew in Limerick in 1861. This doubled by 1871 [ to 2 ] and doubled again by 1881. Increases to 35, 90 and 130 are shown for 1888, 1892, and 1896 respectively. A small number of Lithuanian Jewish tradespeople, [ allegedly ] fleeing persecution in their homeland, began arriving in Limerick in 1878. They initially formed an accepted part of the city's retail trade, centred on Collooney St. The community established a synagogue and a cemetery in the 1880s. Easter Sunday of 1884 saw the first of what were to be a series of sporadic violent antisemitic attacks and protests. The wife of Lieb Siev and his child were injured by stones and her house damaged by an angry crowd for which the ringleaders were sentenced to hard labour for a month. In 1892 two families were beaten and a stoning took place on November 24, 1896. Many details about Limerick's Jewish families are recorded in the 1901 census that shows most were peddlers, though a few were described as drapery dealers and grocers.
In 1904 a young Catholic priest, Father
John
Creagh, of the
Redemptorist order, delivered a fiery sermon castigating Jews for their
rejection of Christ, being usurers
and allies of the
Freemasons then persecuting the Church in France, taking over the local
economy, selling shoddy goods at inflated prices, to be paid for in
installments. He urged Catholics "not to deal with the Jews."
Later, after eighty Jews had been driven from their homes, Creagh was disowned
by his superiors saying that: religious persecution had no place in Ireland.
The Limerick Pogrom was the economic boycott waged against the small Jewish
community for over two years.
Keogh
suggests the name derives from their previous Lithuanian experience even though
no one was killed or seriously injured.
Limerick's
Protestant community, many of whom were also traders, supported the Jews
throughout the pogrom, but ultimately Limerick's Jews fled the city.

So Limerick Pogrom is a
misnomer. That is just what the
Wikipedia, an
operation set up by Jews tells us. It was a
Boycott [ an Irish invention, just like
Kneecapping ]. The Irish are currently being screwed by Jews using
Ethnic Fouling In Ireland. The Jew
Shatter is one perpetrator.
PS Note well that the
Boycott worked.
