The jewish Political Program 37

is ever anything but distasteful to him."

All that is true, and Jewish thinkers ofthe more fearless type always

recognize it as true. The Jew is against the Gentile scheme of things. He

is when he gives his tendencies full sway, a Republican as against the

monarchy, a Socialist as against the republic, and a Bolshevist as against

socialism.

What are the causes of this disruptive activity? Jewish nature is

autocratic. Democracy is all right for the rest of the world, but the Jew

wherever he is found forms an aristocracy of one sort or another.

Democracy is merely a tool of a word which Jewish agitators use to raise

themselves to the ordinary level in places where they are oppressed below

it; but having reached the common level they immediately make efforts

for special privileges, as being entitled to them-a process of which the

late Peace Conference [Versailles. Ed .] wili remain the most startling

example. The Jews today are the only peopie whose special and

extraordinary priviieges are written into the world's Treaty of Peace.

Nations: Ed.] .

In ail the explanations of anti-Jewish feeling which modern Jewish

spokesmen make, these three alleged causes are commonly given-these

three and no more: rel igious prejudice, economic jealousy, social

antipathy. Whether the kw knows it or not, every Gentile knows that on

his side of t.l-te Jewish Question no religious prejudice exists. Economic

jealousy may exist, at ieast to this extent that his uniform success has

exposed the Jew to much scrutiny. The finances of the world are in

control of Jews; lheir decisious and their devices are themselves our

economic law. Economic jealousy may explain some of the anti-Jewish

feeling; it cannot account for the presence of the Jewish Question except

as the hidden causes of Jewish financial success may become a minor

element of the larger problem. And as for social antipathy-there are

many more undesirable Gentiles in the world than there are undesirable

Jews, for the simple reason that there are many more Gentiles.

None of the Jewish spokesmen mention the political cause or if they

come within suggestive distance of it, they limit it and localize it. The

political element inheres in the fact that the Jews form a nation in the

midst of the nations. It is not the fact that the Jews remain a nation in the

midst of the nations; it is the use made of that inescapable status, which

the world has found to be reprehensible. The nations have tried to reduce

the Jews to unity with themselves, but destiny seems to have marked

them out to continuous nationhood: Both the Jews and the World will

have to accept that fact. The Jewish world program, and the political

basis of anti-Jewish feeling which that program creates, is exposed by

Jewish cosmopolitanism with regard to the world, and by Jewish

nationalistic integrity with reg ar d to themselves.

JEWISH NATIONALISM AND THE PROTOCOLS

No 'one now pretends to deny, except a few spokesmen who really do

not rule the thought of the Jews but are set forth for the sole benefit

of influencing Gentile ·"thought, that the ·'socially and economically

disruptive elements abroad in 'the world today are not only manned but .

also monied by Jewish interests . : ' ! I

For a long time this fact was held in su~pense owing to the vigorous

denial of the Jews · and the · lack of information on ihe part of those

agencies of publicity to which the public looked for its information. But

now the facts a're coming . forth. fierzl's words are being· proved to be

true~ "when we sink, 'we become a revolut~onary proletariat, ·the ·

subordinate officers of the revolutionary party ." These words were first

published in English in 1896! · · ' ' · '

Just now these tendencies are working in two directions, orie' for the

tearing down of the Gentile states all over the world, the other for the

establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. The latter project engage'd the .

attention of the whole world. The Zionists make a great deal o'r'n·oise

about Palestine, but it can scarcely be designated as more . than an

unusually ambitious colonizat io n scheme. The Jewish "home" idea so

sedulously cultivated is a very useful srnokescreen for the confi'scation of

the immeasurable sources of ITlineral and oil wealth. It is also serving as

a very useful public screen for the carrying on of secre t activities : ~

International Jews, the controllers of the world's governmental and

financial power, may meet anywhere, at' any time, in war or peace (ime

and by giving out that they are Only considering the ways and means of

opening up Palestine to the Jews, they easily escape the suspicion of

being together on any other business.
