His vengeance was directed specifically against the RABBIS who were present at the party and stood by idly while he was put to shame:<br /><br />"He said, If the rabbis were there and did not object, it must be that they were pleased with what happened... He went and told the emperor, 'The Jews are rebelling against you.'"Arinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-12627277130678366412009-06-23T16:23:27.470-04:002009-06-23T16:23:27.470-04:00>he too curses his host and all the Jews.

It's insensitivity to other fellow Jews that leads to such tremendous destruction.Urinoreply@blogger.com
