Jack the Ripper ID revealed and lead to anti-semitic pogroms?

Especially as the word Pogrom implies that it's the Government that's attacking, restricting, expelling or worse the Jewish population of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

Indeed, the Whitechapel/Aldgate London of that era would have been a hive of contamination, with people literally brushing up against hundreds of others just walking down the streets (more like crowded alleys) and often sleeping dozens to a room.
 
Personally, I doubt that Liz Stride was a Ripper victim, her killer got away with it because of the Ripper.
I vaguely recall seeing the theory that there was no Jack the Ripper - just a group of separate murder victims fitting a profile
and awakening someone's imagination. I think it was based on the observation that during the same period there were other
gruesome murders in Whitechapel which were not ascribed to the Ripper.
 
I did research and found that there were two murders/attacks (starting before the 'official first') that would fit. Then, there were the 'official' victims, ending with Mary Kelley. I'm skeptical of Kelley, as someone who has gone that berserk is going to be reflecting it elsewhere, and it was done indoors - Stride was done, not in a hard to immediately be seen place, but almost in front of a club/meeting house, not the m.o. Kelley's seems to be overkill and it suggests it was someone who knew her. The others had a escalation, but were done in public, which made it feel like the perp was daring the police to catch him/her - not something likely to happen in a house.
