               complain about being captives among us! Jerusalem was
               destroyed more than 1,400 years ago during that time we
               Christians have been tortured and persecuted by the Jews in all
               the world. On top of that, we do not know to this day what
               Devil brought them into our country. We did not fetch them
               from Jerusalem!... Yes, we have and hold them captive, as I
               would like to keep my rheumatism, and all other diseases and
               misfortunes, who must wait as a poor servant, with money and
               property and everything I have! I wish they were in hell
               with the other Jews and whomsoever they would like to have
               with them.
