    You might ask Gondwanaland to desist from referring to spanking people. Although I suspect you won't.

    My emphasis.

    The unusual interest in inflicting corporal punishment was dealt with [alongside other conditions] by Krafff-Ebing in his work Psychopathia Sexualis.


    You seem to want to go down a flowery path. Your distraction tactic is noted.

    You have been asked to provide citations from those "actual historians" whom you allege share your opinion that anti-Semitism. as we now understand that term, was to be found within societies throughout the Graeco-Roman world and you have declined to do so.

    The original argument never said "as we now understand that term."
    However, it seems unlikely that even the "as we now understand that term" is accurate in any case.
    Philip Schafer. Judeophobia (1998), 15
    “ … the Egyptian and Greco-Roman tradition of the Exodus: the Jews were driven out of Egypt by force in a kind of “ethnic cleansing” because they were polluted lepers and/or unwelcome foreigners; it was after this explustion that they founded Jerusalem and became Jews in the full sense of the word.
    This early example of counter-history proved to be one the most powerful anti-Jewish statements, not only in ancient history but until modern times. The legend can be traced back to the early third century BCE and reached its literary climax in the “grand synthesis” of anti-Jewish traditions written by Tacitus.”


    Chapter Title: Tacitus and the Defamation of the Jews
    Book Title: The Construct of Identity in Hellenistic Judaism
    Book Subtitle: Essays on Early Jewish Literature and History
    Book Author(s): Erich S. Gruen
    Published by: De Gruyter
    Stable URL: https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctvbkjxph.17

    Among other remarks, Tacitus brands the Jews
    as a race of men hated by the gods.³ They regard as profane everything that we
    (Romans) hold as sacredand vice versa.Their practices are base and wicked,
    and prevail through their own depravity.They are a people most especially inclined
    to lust. Although they wont sleep with gentiles, among themselves there
    is nothing they wont do (nihil inlicitum). Those who cross over to their ways
    scorn the gods, abandon their own nation, and hold their parents, siblings,
    and children cheap.Jewish rites are sordid and ridiculous.Jews throughout
    their history were the most despised of subject peoples and the basest of
    nations.


    There doesn't seem to a whole lot of support for your contention; "as we now understand that term." Tacitus' comments are however reflected in the church attitudes that you reported.

    Why have you suddenly leapt from the Graeco-Roman world to Nazi Germany? It is your allegations about the Graeco-Roman world that I am refuting [and I have provided comments from other academics who hold the same view as myself].

    Your ridiculously peevish posturing is hilarious.

    You seem to be labouring under the arrogant delusion that because you have claimed [without an iota of evidence] that something is a "fact" everyone else must accept it to be a fact

    You have been asked to provide citations from those "actual historians" whom you allege share your opinion that anti-Semitism. as we now understand that term, was to be found within societies throughout the Graeco-Roman world and you have declined to do so.

    The simple fact is that no such accredited historian would ever make such a claim. However, you cannot bring yourself to acknowledge that you have made foolish remarks.

    Two comments within two pages that refer to spanking a women. Hmmm. You do seem to like making allusions to administering corporal punishment. Is there something you would like to share with us all?
    Oh look. Joking Distraction Tactic.

    Nor was anti-Judaism institutionalised across societies in the Graeco-Roman world as it was by Christian societies.

    So far not one of you has managed to produce an iota of evidence in support of your contentions.

    Indeed when pressed to name the "actual historians" whom he alleged supported his own opinion Gondwanaland declined to respond.

    A less charitable individual than myself might regard his refusal as a desperate attempt to save face because he knew he couldn't produce the names of any such historians.

Which is something a bigot doesn't care about, so that checks out.

    Jealousy rears its ugly head. Everyone wants to be like a rogue but don't want anyone comparing them to a real rogue so they pretend not to know any
