How the Jews Use Power 69

ATTACK ON CHRISTIANITY

P revious to the formation of the Kehillah and the Jewish Committee,

this sort of attack on the rights of Americans was sporadic, but since

1906 it has increased in number and insistence. Under cover of the ideal

of Liberty we have given the Jews liberty to attack Liberty. What

America has been tolerating is intolerance itself. Let us look rapidly

down the years and see one phase of that attack. It is the attack upon

Christianity. Here are a few items from the record. The are recorded

over a period of years following the rise of Jewish power in America:

1899-1900

The Jews attempt to have the word "Christian" removed from the Bill of

Rights of the State of Virginia.

1906-1907

The Jews of Oklahoma petition the Constitutional Convention protesting

that the acknowledgment of Christ in the new State constitution then

being formulated would be repugnant to the Constitution of the United

States.

The Jews force "The Merchant of Venice" to be dropped from public

schools in Texas and Ohio.

1907-1908

Widespread demand by the Jews for the complete secularization Of the

public institutions of this country, as a part of the demand of the Jews for

their constitutional rights.

Supreme Court Justice Brewer's statement that this a Christian country .

widely controvet1ed by Jewish rabbis and publications.

Jews agitate in many cities against Bible reading. Christmas celebrations

or carols in Philadelphia, Cincinnati, St. Paul and New York met with

strong Jewish opposition
