He referred to Jews as “poisonous envenomed worms” and even suggested that Christians were at fault for not slaying them.

### Context and Consequences

- Luther’s earlier writings, like *That Jesus Christ Was Born a Jew* (1523), were more sympathetic, urging kindness to encourage conversion.
- His later hostility stemmed from disappointment that Jews did not embrace his reforms.
- The treatise was later used by Nazi propagandists to justify antisemitic policies, including during Kristallnacht.

### Modern Response

Many Lutheran churches today **condemn Luther’s antisemitic writings**, acknowledging their role in perpetuating centuries of prejudice and violence.

It’s a deeply troubling part of Luther’s legacy, and understanding it helps illuminate how religious rhetoric can be weaponized.

shoo, rat kike

Forcing kikes into manual labour would benefit them and show them some humility, but I believe once you have the chance you should get them out of your country as soon as possible.

Luther was pretty based, he really wanted peace on earth but he realized that it cannot happen with the jewish ego.

>jewish ego

This is just typical christian schizophrenia

He never did all those things and probably begged for forgiveness and bowed down to rabbi jesus by the afternoon
