	Istanbul Pogrom
		The Istanbul Pogrom, also known as the Istanbul Riots, or the Σεπτεμβριανά; in Greek and the 6-7 Eylül Olayları in Turkish (both literally Events of September), was a pogrom directed primarily at Istanbul’s 80,000-strong Greek minority on 6–7 September 1955.
		Although the orchestrators of the pogrom did not explicitly call on Greeks to be killed, between 13 and 16 Greeks and at least one Armenian (including two Orthodox clerics) died during or after the pogrom as a result of beatings and arson attacks.
		The 1955 pogrom was provoked by the demands of the majority Greek population of Cyprus for political union with mainland Greece.

	The pogrom of 1905 in Odessa
		The October pogrom in Odessa also underscores the importance of studying popular and official attitudes toward Jews and assessing the extent to which the pogrom was a spontaneous display of popular antisemitism or the result of a carefully planned and premeditated strategy engineered by government officials.
		The October 1905 pogrom in Odessa resulted from the conjuncture of several long-term and short-term social, economic, and political factors that produced conditions in the autumn of 1905 particularly ripe for an explosion of anti-Jewish violence.
		An examination of circumstances leading up to the pogrom and an analysis of the chain of events that triggered the attack on the Jews of the city underscore how the pogrom grew out of general developments in Odessa in 1905 and was an integral element in the trajectory of the revolution.

	Pogrom - Wikipedia
		In de 20e eeuw zijn er onder andere pogroms gehouden in de voormalige Sovjet-Unie, in Polen en in Nazi-Duitsland voor en tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog.
		Pogrom is dus een specifiek tegen de joden gericht volksgericht en geen synoniem voor elke vorm van achteruitstelling van de joden.
		Tegenwoordig wordt het woord "pogrom" steeds vaker in een ruimere zin gebruikt voor alle bloedige onlusten met een duidelijk etnische dimensie, bij voorbeeld de vervolging van Armeniërs in het Osmaanse Rijk, de etnische zuiveringen in de landen van het voormalige Joegoslavië of vervolgingen van islamieten in India, en dergelijke.

		But the Kishinev pogrom of 1903, which is the theme of this essay, though referred to by the same word cannot be treated in the same way as those which preceded it; what happened in Kishinev 100 years ago is not just a pogrom among many others.
		A pogrom is never a natural state condition (referred most harshly by Hobbes’s dictum homo homini lupus); it is rather a violent outburst either within the existing social order or it is a side effect of the attempt to overthrow the existing order.
		It is, strictly speaking, not a pogrom at all, but an officially planned action, done with the permission of the Russian authorities (or at least, an officially sponsored action carried out against the Jews).

		Consider now the words of KFOR commander, German general Holger Kammerhoff, who warned that "thousands of ethnic Albanians that attacked KFOR, the police, Serb enclaves and churches should be aware of robust reserve forces." (Reuters) Note how clearly he identifies the attackers and their targets.
		Clearly, what is taking place is not "clashes," but a pogrom by the Albanians against the Serb population wherever possible.
		Western media, however, played it for all it was worth, imputing moral equivalence between organized Albanian pogroms and Serb hooliganism, grasping at straws to retain the well-worn stereotype built so painstakingly over the years.
