Maybe it's an Orthodox fatwah

“In the town Gulyai-Polye where there are Jewish businesses, the peasants gathered before the senior nobleman and the village priest and demanded that they be read the religious writ about annihilating the Jews. It took much effort by the priest to quiet the tumult. But after a few days the disturbances were renewed and the Jews were subjected to derision and attack in a terrible manner.” 7 June 1881.

(I would like to know where is this “religious writ” to annihilate the Jews? Is this a written document in the Orthodox doctrine?)
