Some more 18th century antisemitism from various British newspapers

After my last article, I continued to randomly look for Jews being mentioned in 18th century English language newspapers.

In the same 1753, one newspaper published arguments given to allow Jews to live in England and then responded to them.  This one argument is relevant to today: (The Caledonian Mercury, Tue, Jul 10, 1753)

God says Jews should forever be a scattered people withou citizenship. Anything else is going against holy prophecies.

The Spanish Inquisition was still in full force, and this article from a British newspaper laconically mentions theexecution by burning of a "witch" and three Jews who had hidden as Christians. Note that  the newspaper is on the Portuguese inquisitors' side. (Newcastle Weekly Courant, Tue, Nov 19, 1748)

In Holland, a new tax was levied on houses with chimneys...and Jews. (The Derby Mercury, Fri, Mar 10, 1775)

In Moravia, a Jew was claimed to have enticed a woman into his house where he butchered her. He ran away but on the following Monday, Easter Monday the community decided to pillage the Jewish quarter instead of going to church. (The Ipswich Journal, Sat, May 07, 1774)

This is the world that antisemites today want to go back to.
