Persecution by century

1st century

In New Testament, it is revealed that it was Jews who killed Jesus Christ, the prophets sent to them by God, and persecuted the followers of Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 2:14-16, Acts 7:52-53). Jesus Christ tells that Jerusalem killed the prophets and stone those sent by God (Luke 13:34, Matthew 23:37). In terms of killing prophets, Jesus Christ points out that for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem (Luke 13:33). Jesus Christ tells the scribes and the Pharisees how they testify against themselves that they are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets (Matthew 23:31). Jesus Christ tells the scribes and the pharisees that he will send to them prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them they will kill and crucify; others they will flog in their synagogues and pursue from town to town (Matthew 23:34). It must be noted that Stephen was killed by Jews in Acts 7 and James the brother of John was killed by Jewish King Herod with the support of Jews in Acts 12. In Antiquities of Jews 20:9:1, Jewish Priest Josephus mentions about how Jews killed Apostle James (who was the brother of Jesus Christ) and others with him.

It must be noted that Jesus Christ calls his generation in first century Israel as "wicked/sinful and adulterous generation" (Matthew 12:39, Matthew 16:4, Mark 8:38, etc.) on several occasions.

Jewish Priest Josephus agrees with Jesus Christ on the wickedness of that generation. "I shall therefore speak my mind here at once briefly: — that neither did any other city suffer such miseries, nor did any age ever breed a generation more fruitful in wickedness than this was, from the beginning of the world." (Josephus' Jewish Wars V, 10:5).

2nd century

• 132 — Judaea Province, Roman Empire. Rabbi Akiva ben Joseph claims that Simon Bar Kokhba is the "messiah". Christians reject this claim and refuse to join in the Bar Kokhba terror campaign against the Roman Empire. As a result the Jews murdered many Christians. Bar Kochba ordered Christians to be executed if they would not deny and curse Jesus Christ. According to Justin Martyr, "The Jews were behind all the persecutions of the Christians. They wandered through the country everywhere hating and undermining the Christian faith."

4th century

• 345 — Persia. The Jews brought accusations before Shapur II, King of Persia in the Sassanid Empire, that Simeon Barsabae, Bishop of Seleucia-Ctesiphon was an ally of the Roman Emperor. As a result Shapur II went on to persecute Christians. According to contemporary Greek historian Sozomen, around 16,000 Persian Christians were killed during his reign.

6th century

• 524 — Najran and Zafar, Yemen. The Jewish king of Himyar, Dhu Nuwas, took the city of Zafar, burned down churches and massacred all civilians who would not abandon Christianity.

Dhu Nuwas sent letters, detailing the news of his deeds to Al-Mundhir III ibn al-Nu'man and Kavadh I of Persia recommending they do the same.
• 599 — Antioch, Byzantine Empire. The Greek Patriarch of Antioch, Anastasius I of Antioch was slaughtered by a Jewish mob. They are said to have cut off his genitals, threw them in his face, then disembowelled him and dragged his body through the streets of Antioch.

8th century

• 711 — Kingdom of the Visigoths. Jews as well as converted Berbers from North Africa play essential role in the advancement of Arab imperialism into the Iberian Peninsula. After the Mohammedans conquered the cities of Elvira, Seville and Cordoba, they were left under a Jewish-led garrison, while the armies pursued the natives. Malaga could not be garrisoned by invaders because the city was Jew-free.
• 712 — Toledo, Kingdom of the Visigoths. Jewish fifth column opens the gates of Toledo to the invading armies of the Umayyad Caliphate, while Christian defenders of the capital city were occupied in celebrating a procession, on Palm Sunday at San Locadia church.

• 1844 — Philadelphia, United States. The first Jew elected to Congress in the United States, Lewis Charles Levin, incited sectarian communal violence, known as the Philadelphia Nativist Riots. This led to the burning down of churches associated with Irish Catholics, such as St. Augustine's Church. Levin and his collaborator Samuel R Kramer were arrested and fined for "exciting to riot and treason".

The Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the largest Eastern Orthodox church in the world at the time, is dynamited on the direct orders of Lazar Kaganovich, the right-hand man of Joseph Stalin, to make way for a planned Palace of the Soviets.

They especially target traditional Catholics and Reconstructionist Calvinists. The SPLC never attacks Talmudic Judaism, no matter how Orthodox, nor do they criticise Zionist Dispensationalists.
