One
of Them Points Out the Full Depth of Their Guilt
ED Noor: I present this without commentary. In the quotes below on this page, at least one of Rabbi Ravage's has been there from the start. I had not read it in context before; in the following you find it complete. I thank Brian Ruhe (Videos below) for bringing this entire piece to my attention; it is amazing I have never posted this before. Expect more in the near future.
The Words of Rabbi Marcus
Eli Ravage
Of
course, you do resent us.
It
is no good telling me you don't. So let us not waste any time on denials and
alibis. You know you do, and I know it, and we understand each other. To be
sure, some of your best friends are Jews, and all that. I have heard that
before once or twice, I think. And I know, too, that you do not include me personally
~ "me" being any particular individual Jew ~ when you fling out at us
in your wholesale fashion, because I am, well, so different, don't you know,
almost as good as one of yourselves.
That little exemption does not, somehow, move me to gratitude; but never mind that now. It is the aggressive, climbing, pushing, materialistic sort you dislike ~ those, in a word, who remind you so much of your own up-and-coming brethren. We understand each other perfectly. I don't hold it against you.

Bless
my soul; I do not blame anybody for disliking anybody. The thing that intrigues
me about this anti-Jewish business, as you play at it, is your total lack of
grit. You are so indirect and roundabout with it, you make such fantastic and transparent
excuses, and you seem to be suffering from self consciousness so horribly, that
if the performance were not grotesque it would be irritating.
It
is not as if you were amateurs: you have been at it for over fifteen centuries.
Yet watching you and hearing your childish pretexts, one might get the
impression that you did not know yourselves what it is all about. You resent
us, but you cannot clearly say why. You think up a new excuse ~ a
"reason" is what you call it ~ every other day. You have been piling
up justifications for yourselves these many hundreds of years and each new
invention is more laughable than the last and each new excuse contradicts and
annihilates the last.
Not
so many years ago I used to hear that we were money-grubbers and commercial
materialists; now the complaint is being whispered around that no art and no
profession is safe against Jewish invasion.
We
are, if you are to be believed, at once clannish and exclusive and inassimilable
because we won't intermarry with you, and we are also climbers and pushers and
a menace to your racial integrity.
ED Noor: This attitude towards interbreeding with gentiles has obviously
changed greatly over the last century, although Orthodox sects do not tolerate
racial mixing.
Our
standard of living is so low that we create your slums and sweated industries,
and so high that we crowd you out of your best residential sections.
We
shirk our patriotic duty in wartime because we are pacifists by nature and
tradition, and we are the arch-plotters of universal wars and the chief
beneficiaries of those wars (see the late "Dearborn Independent,"
passim, and “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion").
We
are at once the founders and leading adherents of capitalism and the chief
perpetrators of the rebellion against capitalism.
Surely, history has nothing like usfor versatility!
And,
oh! I almost forgot the reason of reasons. We are the stiff- necked people who
never accepted Christianity, and we are the criminal people who crucified its
founder.
But
I tell you, you are self- deceivers. You lack neither the self-knowledge nor
the mettle to face the facts squarely and own up to the truth.
You resent the Jewnot because, as some of you seem to think,he crucified Jesusbut because he gave him birth.Your real quarrel with usis not that we have rejected Christianitybut that we have imposed it upon you!Your loose, contradictory charges against us are not a patch on the blackness of our proved historic offense.You accuse us of stirring up revolution in Moscow.Suppose we admit the charge.What of it?Compared with what Paul the Jew of Tarsus
accomplished in Rome,the Russian upheaval is a mere street brawl.
You
make much noise and fury about the undue Jewish influence in your theaters and
movie palaces. Very good; granted your complaint is well-founded. But what is
that compared to our staggering influence in your churches, your schools, your laws
and your governments, and the very thoughts you think every day?
A
clumsy Russian forges a set of papers and publishes them in a book called
"The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," which shows that we plotted to
bring on the late World War. You believe that book. All right. For the sake of
argument we will underwrite every word of it.
It is genuine and authentic. But what is that beside the unquestionable historical conspiracy which we have carried out, which we have never denied because you never had the courage to charge us with it, and of which the full record is extant for anybody to read?
If
you really are serious when you talk of Jewish plots, may I not direct your
attention to one worth talking about? What use is it wasting words on the
alleged control of your public opinion by Jewish financiers, newspaper owners
and movie magnates, when you might as well justly accuse us of the proved
control of your whole civilization by the Jewish Gospels ?
.
.
You
have not begun to appreciate the real depth of our guilt. We are intruders. We are
disturbers. We are subverters. We have taken your natural world, your ideals,
your destiny, and played havoc with them.
We
have been at the bottom not merely of the latest Great War but of nearly all
your wars, not only of the Russian but of every other major revolution in your
history.
We
have brought discord and confusion and frustration into your personal and public
life. We are still doing it. No one can tell how long we shall go on doing it.
.

Look
back a little and see what has happened. Nineteen hundred years ago you were an
innocent, care-free, pagan race. You worshiped countless gods and goddesses,
the spirits of the air, of the running streams and of the woodland. You took
unblushing pride in the glory of your naked bodies. You carved images of your
gods and of the tantalizing human figure. You delighted in the combats of the
field, the arena and the battle-ground.
Pagan Roman sculpture of a "natural man."
War
and slavery were fixed institutions in your systems. Disporting yourselves on
the hillsides and in the valleys of the great outdoors, you took to speculating
on the wonder and mystery of life and laid the foundations of natural science
and philosophy. Yours was a noble, sensual culture, unirked by the prickings of
a social conscience or by any sentimental questionings about human equality.
Who knows what great and glorious destiny might have been yours if we had left
you alone.
ED Noor: Interesting to note that our esteemed author does not touch upon Jewish mores in regard to slavery!
But we did not leave you alone. We took you in hand and pulled down the beautiful and generous structure you had reared, and changed the whole course of your history.We conquered you as no empire of yours ever subjugated Africa or Asia. And we did it all without armies, without bullets, without blood or turmoil, without force of any kind.We did it solely by the irresistible might of our spirit, with ideas, with propaganda.
We
made you the willing and unconscious bearers of our mission to the whole world,
to the barbarous races of the earth, to the countless unborn generations.
Without fully understanding what we were doing to you, you became the agents at
large of our racial tradition, carrying our gospel to the unexplored ends of the
earth.
Our
tribal customs have become the core of your moral code. Our tribal laws have
furnished the basic groundwork of all your august constitutions and legal
systems.
Our
legends and our folk-tales are the sacred lore which you croon to your infants.
Our poets have filled your hymnals and your prayer-books.
Our
national history has become an indispensable part of the learning of your
pastors and priests and scholars.
Our
kings, our statesmen, our prophets, our warriors are your heroes.
Our
ancient little country is your Holy Land.
Our
national literature is your Holy Bible. What our people thought and taught has
become inextricably woven into your very speech and tradition, until no one among
you can be called educated who is not familiar with our racial heritage.
Jewish
artisans and Jewish fishermen are your teachers and your saints, with countless
statues carved in their image and innumerable cathedrals raised to their
memories.
A
Jewish maiden is your ideal of motherhood and womanhood.
A
Jewish rebel-prophet is the central figure in your religious worship.
We
have pulled down your idols, cast aside your racial inheritance, and substituted
for them our God and our traditions. No conquest in history can even remotely
compare with this clean sweep of our conquest over you.
How
did we do it? Almost by accident. Two thousand years ago nearly, in far-off
Palestine, our religion had fallen into decay and materialism. Money-changers
were in possession of the temple. Degenerate, selfish priests mulcted our people
and grew fat. Then a young patriot-idealist arose and went about the land
calling for a revival of faith. He had no thought of setting up a new church.
Like all the prophets before him, his only aim was to purify and revitalize the
old creed. He attacked the priests and drove the money-changers from the
temple.
This
brought him into conflict with the established order and its supporting
pillars. The Roman authorities, who were in occupation of the country, fearing
his revolutionary agitation as a political effort to oust them, arrested him,
tried him and condemned him to death by crucifixion, a common form of execution
at that time.
The
followers of Jesus of Nazareth, mainly slaves and poor workmen, in their
bereavement and disappointment, turned away from the world and formed
themselves into a brotherhood of pacifist non-resisters, sharing the memory of
their crucified leader and living together communistically. They were merely a
new sect in Judea, without power or consequence, neither the first nor the last.
ED Noor: Re Paul:Paul's influence on Christian thinking is recognized as more significant than any other New Testament writer. Saul was a Pharisee Jew, a descendant of the tribe of Benjamin.Initially, in the name of the
authorities of official Judaism, he was dedicated to persecute the
members of the new Jewish sect (Christians), however, at a time of his
life realizes that this doctrine who had such schismatic and conflicting
effect among the Jews themselves, would cause also a terrible
devastation in Rome, hated to death by him and by almost all the Jews of
his time, resented because the occupation of the legions, the
Jewish-Roman wars and deportations. Saul was an extremely astute
individual who took advantage of the effects of Christian preaching to
subvert the values and traditions of the pagan world.
.
.
.
Only
after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans did the new creed come into
prominence. Then a patriotic Jew named Paul or Saul conceived the idea of
humbling the Roman power by destroying the morale of its soldiery with the doctrines
of love and non-resistance preached by the little sect of Jewish Christians. He
became the Apostle to the Gentiles, he who hitherto had been one of the most
active persecutors of the band. And so well did Paul do his work that, within
four centuries, the great empire which had subjugated Palestine along with half
of the world, was a heap of ruins. And the law which went forth from Zion
became the official religion of Rome.
This
was the beginning of our dominance in your world. But it was only a beginning.
From this time forthyour history is little more than a strugglefor mastery between your own old pagan spiritand our Jewish spirit.
Half your wars, great and little, are religious wars, fought over the interpretation of one thing or another in our teachings.
You
no sooner broke free from your primitive religious simplicity and attempted the
practice of the pagan Roman learning than Luther, armed with our gospels, arose
to down you and re-enthrone our heritage.
Take
the three principal revolutions in modern times ~ the French, the American and
the Russian. What are they but the triumph of the Jewish idea of social,
political and economic justice?
ED Noor: Remember this article was written decades ago. As we all know now, the Russian revolution caused irrevocable damage and only in the past few decades has Russia recovered by reclaiming much of its sovereignty from the Bolsheviks. What is important to remember is, this Rabbi speaks in a very dismissive and arrogant fashion. This was in the time, right after the Balfour Declaration and Jewish wins on the international front, that these folks were feeling cocky about their swift rise to prominence in the West; they have since tempered their message for fear that the goyim would actually wise up to their meddling.

And
the end is still a long way off. We still dominate you. At this very moment
your churches are torn asunder by a civil war between Fundamentalists and
Modernists, that is to say between those who cling to our teachings and
traditions literally and those who are striving by slow steps to dispossess us.
In
Dayton, Tennessee, a Bible-bred community forbids the teaching of your science
because it conflicts with our ancient Jewish account of the origin of life; and
Mr. Bryan, the leader of the anti- Jewish Ku Klux Klan in the Democratic
National Convention, makes the supreme fight of his life in our behalf, without
noticing the contradiction.
Again
and again the Puritan heritage of Judea breaks out in waves of stage censorship,
Sunday blue laws and national prohibition acts. And while these things are
happening, you twaddle about Jewish influence in the movies!
Is it any wonder you resent us?We have put a clog upon your progress.We have imposed upon you an alien bookand an alien faith which you cannot swallow or digest,which is at cross-purposes with your native spirit,which keeps you ever- lastingly ill-at-ease,and which you lack the spiriteither to reject or to accept in full.
In
full, of course, you never have accepted our Christian teachings. In your
hearts you still are pagans.
You still love war and graven images and strife.You still take pride in the glory of the nude human figure.Your social conscience,in spite of all democracyand all your social revolutions,is still a pitifully imperfect thing.We have merely divided your soul,confused your impulses,paralyzed your desires.
In
the midst of battle you are obliged to kneel down to him who commanded you to
turn the other cheek, who said "Resist not evil" and "Blessed
are the peace- makers."
In
your lust for gain you are suddenly disturbed by a memory from your
Sunday-school days about taking no thought for the morrow. In your industrial
struggles, when you would smash a strike without compunction, you are suddenly
reminded that the poor are blessed and that men are brothers in the Fatherhood
of the Lord.
And
as you are about to yield to temptation, your Jewish training puts a deterrent
hand on your shoulder and dashes the brimming cup from your lips.
You
Christians have never become Christianized.
To
that extent we have failed with you.
But
we have forever spoiled the fun of paganism for you.
So
why should you not resent us?
If
we were in your place we should probably dislike you more cordially than you do
us. But we should make no bones about telling you why.
We
should not resort to subterfuges and transparent pretexts. With millions of
painfully respectable Jewish shopkeepers all about us, we should not insult
your intelligence and our own honesty by talking about communism as a Jewish
philosophy. And with millions of hard-working impecunious Jewish peddlers and laborers
we should not make ourselves ridiculous by talking about international
capitalism as a Jewish monopoly. No, we should go straight to the point. We
should contemplate this confused, ineffectual muddle which we call
civilization, this half-Christian half-pagan medley, and ~ were our places
reversed ~ we should say to you point-blank:
"For
this mess thanks to you,
to
your prophets and to your Bible."
