What was said
… This is This is part of the Jewish mind. One of the things that people hear about, and it's why Israel has to have their own homeland, is these pogroms that have happened over the centuries, and the Kamenetzsky uprising. I mean, I think on Wikipedia it says they could they have as much as 35,000. But maybe can you just give some insight into, like, was it because he was thrown in jail and it was a reaction, or was this going to happen anyway? in reference to Kielanitsky? …
The Pete Quiñones Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. The Wikiwand mirror of the Khmelnytsky Uprising article says estimates of its death toll vary and are subject to ongoing revision, and gives no single total for all deaths.[1]
Context. Wikiwand's casualty section gives a 1996 estimate of 15,000–30,000 Jews killed or taken captive and a 2014 estimate of 18,000–20,000 Jewish deaths in 1648–1649. The claimed 35,000 is above both ranges, but the excerpt does not state that the article gives 35,000.[1]
Context. Chronograph cites demographer Shaul Stampfer's estimate that perhaps 20,000 Jews perished, and the Wikiwand excerpt says early chroniclers' high figures were later revised downward. The truncated excerpt may contain the 35,000 figure, but the visible text does not.[1][2]
Context. The claim departs from the passage only slightly: the post says Wikipedia says "they could have as much as 35,000," and the extraction keeps that figure. No source checked here addresses whether the Wikipedia article states 35,000 people killed.
