The "109 Countries" Lie: Debunked

Neo-Nazis claim Jews were "expelled from 109 countries." The ADL traces this lie to Bible Believer's Church in Australia—a Holocaust-denying hate group. Their methodology? Count cities as countries, count France 6 times, throw in ancient wars, and you get... 109.

Let's do the honest count:

Medieval/Early Modern Europe: 15-18 actual country-wide expulsions:

- England 1290 (Edward I's Edict)

- Spain 1492 (Alhambra Decree)

- Portugal 1496 (Manuel I)

- France 1182, 1254, 1306, 1322, 1359, 1394

- Hungary 1360

- Austria 1420-1421, 1669-1670

- Bavaria 1442, 1551

- Papal States 1569, 1593

- Naples 1288, 1495, 1510

- Sicily 1493, Navarre 1498

- Visigothic Spain 612

Arab/Muslim World: 10-13 total:

- Early: Medina 7th century, Almohades 12th century (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Muslim Spain), Yemen 1679

- Modern 1947-1972: Iraq (120,000), Egypt (75,000+), Libya (35,000), Yemen again (49,000), Algeria (140,000), Morocco (265,000), Tunisia (100,000), Syria (30,000)

Honest total: 25-30 across 2,700 years. One expulsion every 90-100 years across the entire planet.

Now watch the fraud:

Frankfurt (1614) — They call it a "country." It was a Free Imperial City *inside* the Holy Roman Empire. Not a nation.

Nuremberg (1499) — Same thing. City, not country.

Vienna (1669) — Habsburg capital. Part of Austria, which they *already counted separately*.

France appears SIX TIMES (1182, 1254, 1306, 1322, 1359, 1394). That's ONE country having a cycle of expulsion-readmission-expulsion. They count it as six "countries."

Bavaria appears FOUR TIMES (1276, 1442, 1551, 1701). Same duchy, different centuries. They count each as a separate "expulsion."

Babylonian Captivity (587 BCE)? That was a military conquest—soldiers destroying Jerusalem and taking prisoners of war. Not an expulsion decree.

Roman suppressions (73 CE, 135 CE)? Military defeats after Jewish revolts. Not government policy expelling Jews from lands.

Still think 109 is real? Wikipedia lists EVERY displacement event in Jewish history—ancient wars, medieval expulsions, Crusade massacres, pogroms, the Holocaust, refugee movements, everything—and gets ~90 total entries across 2,700 years.

They can't even reach 109 by counting literally everything that ever happened to Jews.

So what's "109/110"?

Its a lie made to make people hate jews. And its working, A call to ethnic cleansing.

White supremacist code. "109 countries expelled them—let's make America the 110th."

The source? Bible Believer's Church, Sydney, Australia. Run by Anthony Grigor-Scott. Reprints *The Protocols of the Elders of Zion* and Henry Ford's *The International Jew*. In 2007, Australian Federal Court ordered them to remove Holocaust denial content.

Stanford historian Rowan Dorin's *No Return* (Princeton, 2023)—won four academic awards—proves mass expulsion was a rare 13th-century innovation, driven by debt cancellation and property seizure. Not Jewish behavior. Economic scapegoating.

King Edward I in 1290? Expelled England's Jews to cancel his war debts and got Parliament to give him a massive tax in exchange. That's what the "109" really is: 2,700 years of the powerful scapegoating the vulnerable.

When you see "109," you're looking at a lie designed to justify the next genocide.

Real count: 25-30. Not 109.
