JEWRY BY JEWS

Here are just a few quotes I stumbled across in my travels tonight. Some are familiar, but for me most are not. The one that struck me the most is the one by Baruch Levy to Karl Marx. The opening line is enough to give one pause for a goodly period of time. Anyhow, I don't know if this is the right word, but "enjoy" and learn. Every one is just a tad disconcerting, but then almost everything involved with these folks is.

Yet, yesterday, when I was out and about I stopped to sign a petition regarding a local matter here in my little city. The man and I were chatting and within seconds we had taken this small local matter and made it representative of all that we struggle with to survive and open eyes.

I don't know how it came out but he said something like, "Yes I know. I am Jewish, I have managed to escape that mindset." We talked for an easy 45 minutes, recommended books. and I left feeling this had been one of the most delightful encounters I had experienced in months. I will check out the local activist groups we discussed . We also discussed the term anti Semitism and his first comment was, "Yes, I was taught to use it as a weapon. That just was not my style but it is supposed to make other people malleable and guilty feeling."

Why do I mention this? Because I am tired of being called anti Semitic when I am anti Zionist, and that is a political thing that warps all who get involved with it, not a matter of spirit or belief.

I am tired of miserable news etc, so I decided to post depictions of Melusine between quotes. Every time you see the Starbuck logo of the double fish tailed woman, you are looking at Melusine. Poor woman, such an indignity. There are many myths about her that date way back to before the Crusades. Anyhow, on with the quotes.

"Anti-Semitism is nothing but the antagonistic attitude
produced in the non-Jew by the Jewish group.
The Jewish group has thrived on oppression
and on the antagonism it has forever met in the world."
~ ALBERT EINSTEIN, Physicist
(Collier's Magazine, November 26, 1938)

"The love of the Hebrews for their country
was not only patriotism but also piety,
and was cherished and nurtured by daily rites
until, like their hatred of other nations,
it was absolutely perverse ~
as it very well might be,
considering that they were
a peculiar people and entirely apart from the rest.

Such daily reprobation naturally gave rise
to a lasting hatred,
deeply implanted in the heart:
for of all hatred,
none is more deep and tenacious
than that which springs from
extreme devoutness or piety,
and is itself cherished as pious."
~ BARUCH SPINOZA 17th Century Philosopher
(Tractatus theologico-politicus)

"Let us look at the real Jew of our time: not the Jew of the Sabbath, whom Bauer considers, but the Jew of everyday life.

"What is the Jew's foundation in our world? Material necessity, private advantage.

"What is the object of the Jew's worship in this world? Usury. What is his world god? Money.

"Very well, then: emancipation from usury and money, that is, from practical, real Judaism, would constitute the emancipation of our time...

"The Jew has already emancipated himself in the Jewish way: the Jew who is, for example, merely tolerated in Vienna, determines with his money power the fate of the entire German Empire. The Jew who is without rights in the smallest German state, decides the fate of Europe.

"This is no isolated fact. The Jew has emancipated himself in the Jewish fashion not only by acquiring money power but through money's having become ~ with him or without him ~ the world power and the Jewish spirit's having become the practical spirit of the Christian peoples.

The Jews have emancipated themselves to the extent that the Christians have become Jews ~ KARL MARX Founder of Communism (Review by Marx of Bruno Bauer's The Capacity of Today's Jews and Christians to Become Free)

The Bolshevik revolution in Russia
was the work of Jewish brains,
of Jewish dissatisfaction,
of Jewish planning,
whose goal is to create
a new order in the world.

What was performed in
so excellent a way in Russia,
thanks to Jewish brains,
and because of Jewish dissatisfaction
and by Jewish planning,
shall also, through the same
Jewish mental and physical forces,
become a reality all over the world."
~ THE AMERICAN HEBREW, September 10, 1920

"Let us recognize that we Jews are
a distinct nationality of which every Jew,
whatever his country,
his station, or shade of belief,
is necessarily a member.

Organize, organize,
until every Jew must stand up
and be counted with us,
or prove himself wittingly
or unwittingly, of the few
who are against their own people."
~ LOUIS B. BRANDEIS Supreme Court Justice 1916-1939

"The Jewish people as a whole will be its own Messiah.
It will attain world dominion by the dissolution of other races,
by the abolition of frontiers,
the annihilation of monarchy,
and by the establishment of a world republic
in which the Jews will everywhere exercise the privilege of citizenship.
In this new world order the Children of Israel will furnish
all the leaders without encountering opposition.
The Governments of the different peoples
forming the world republic will fall without difficulty
into the hands of the Jews.
It will then be possible for the Jewish rulers
to abolish private property,
and everywhere to make use of the resources of the state.
Thus will the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled,
in which is said that when the Messianic time
is come the Jews will have all the property
of the whole world in their hands."
~ BARUCH LEVY in a letter to Karl Marx,
La Revue de Paris, p. 54, June 1, 1928

"We are not denying and are not afraid to confess.
This war is our war and that
it is waged for the liberation of Jewry...
Stronger than all fronts together is our front,
that of Jewry.
We are not only giving this war
our financial support on which
the entire war production is based,
we are not only providing
our full propaganda power
which is the moral energy
that keeps this war going.

The guarantee of victory is
predominantly based on
weakening the enemy forces,
on destroying them in their own country,
within the resistance.
And we are the Trojan Horses
in the enemy's fortress.
thousands of Jews living in Europe
constitute the principal factor
in the destruction of our enemy.
There, our front is a fact
and the most valuable aid for victory."
~ CHAIM WEIZMANN
President of the World Jewish Congress,
