Friends, I am trying to typeset the following passage by Benjamin
Disraeli (who has very interesting quotes in the searcheable free pdf
book) at
http://jewishracism.com/SaintEinstein.htm
After Hechler came David Ben-Gurion, who stated,
"The First World War brought us the Balfour Declaration. The Second
ought
to bring us the Jewish State."1772
Before Hechler was Benjamin Disraeli. Soon after Queen Victoria
ascended the
throne in 1837, the campaign to "restore the Jews to Palestine"
gained political
support, which was driven by the Rothschild family in hopes that a
Rothschild would
ascend the throne in Jerusalem to become King of the Jews, a. k. a. the
Messiah, and,
therefore, King of the World. Victoria believed that she was descended
from King
David and during her reign Rothschild and Disraeli were able to secure
the Suez
Canal for England as a means to expedite shipping to and from India,
and as a means
to tie England’s fate to the goal of forming a Jewish State in
Palestine.1773 Disraeli
wrote in 1852,
"We have shown that the theological prejudice against the Jews has no
foundation, historical or doctrinal; we have shown that the social
prejudice,
originating in the theological but sustained by superficial
observations
irrespective of religious prejudice, is still more unjust, and that no
existing
race is so much entitled to the esteem and gratitude of society as the
Hebrew.
It remains for us to notice the injurious consequences to European
society of
the course pursued by the communities of this race, and this view of
the
subject leads us to considerations which it would become existing
statesmen
to ponder.
The world has by this time discovered that it is impossible to destroy
the
Jews. The attempt to extirpate them has been made under the most
favourable auspices and on the largest scale; the most considerable
means
that man could command have been pertinaciously applied to this object
for
the longest period of recorded time. Egyptian pharaohs, Assyrian kings,
Roman emperors, Scandinavian crusaders, Gothic princes, and holy
inquisitors, have alike devoted their energies to the fulfilment of
this
common purpose. Expatriation, exile, captivity, confiscation, torture
on the
most ingenious and massacre on the most extensive scale, a curious
system
of degrading customs and debasing laws which would have broken the
heart
of any other people, have been tried, and in vain. The Jews, after all
this
havoc, are probably more numerous at this date than they were during
the
reign of Solomon the wise, are found in all lands, and unfortunately
prospering in most. All which proves, that it is in vain for man to
attempt to
baffle the inexorable law of nature which has decreed that a superior
race
shall never be destroyed or absorbed by an inferior.
But the influence of a great race will be felt; its greatness does not
depend
upon its numbers, otherwise the English would not have vanquished the
Chinese, nor would the Aztecs have been overthrown by Cortez and a
handful of Goths. That greatness results from its organisation, the
consequences of which are shown in its energy and enterprise, in the
strength
of its will and the fertility of its brain. Let us observe what should
be the
influence of the Jews, and then ascertain how it is exercised. The
Jewish race
connects the modern populations with the early ages of the world, when
the
relations of the Creator with the created were more intimate than in
these
days, when angels visited the earth, and God himself even spoke with
man.
The Jews represent the Semitic principle; all that is spiritual in our
nature.
They are the trustees of tradition, and the conservators of the
religious
element. They are a living and the most striking evidence of the
falsity of that
pernicious doctrine of modern times, the natural equality of man. The
particular equality of a particular race is a matter of municipal
arrangement,
and depends entirely on political considerations and circumstances; but
the
natural equality of man now in vogue, and taking the form of
cosmopolitan
fraternity, is a principle which, were it possible to act on it, would
deteriorate
the great races and destroy all the genius of the world. What would be
the
consequences on the great Anglo-Saxon republic, for example, were its
citizens to secede from their sound principle of reserve, and mingle
with their
negro and coloured populations? In the course of time they would become
so
deteriorated that their states would probably be reconquered and
regained by
the aborigines whom they have expelled, and who would then be their
superiors. But though nature will never ultimately permit this theory
of
natural equality to be practised, the preaching of this dogma has
already
caused much mischief, and may occasion much more. The native tendency
of the Jewish race, who are justly proud of their blood, is against the
doctrine
of the equality of man. They have also another characteristic, the
faculty of
acquisition. Although the European laws have endeavoured to prevent
their
obtaining property, they have nevertheless become remarkable for their
accumulated wealth. Thus it will be seen that all the tendencies of the
Jewish
race are conservative. Their bias is to religion, property, and natural
aristocracy; and it should be the interest of statesmen that this bias
of a great
race should be encouraged, and their energies and creative powers
enlisted
in the cause of existing society.
But existing society has chosen to persecute this race which should
furnish its choice allies, and what have been the consequences?
They may be traced in the last outbreak of the destructive principle in
Europe. An insurrection takes place against tradition and aristocracy,
against
religion and property. Destruction of the Semitic principle,
extirpation of the
Jewish religion, whether in the Mosaic or in the Christian form, the
natural
equality of man and the abrogation of property, are proclaimed by the
secret
societies who form provisional governments, and men of Jewish race are
found at the head of every one of them. The people of God co-operate
with
atheists; the most skilful accumulators of property ally themselves
with
communists; the peculiar and chosen race touch the hand of all the scum
and
low castes of Europe! And all this because they wish to destroy that
ungrateful Christendom which owes to them even its name, and whose
tyranny they can no longer endure.
When the secret societies, in February 1848, surprised Europe, they
were
themselves surprised by the unexpected opportunity, and so little
capable
were they of seizing the occasion, that had it not been for the Jews,
who of
late years unfortunately have been connecting themselves with these
unhallowed associations, imbecile as were the governments the uncalled
for
outbreak would not have ravaged Europe. But the fiery energy and the
teeming resources of the children of Israel maintained for a long time
the
unnecessary and useless struggle. If the reader throws his eye over the
provisional governments of Germany, and Italy, and even of France,
formed
at that period, he will recognise everywhere the Jewish element. Even
the
insurrection, and defence, and administration of Venice, which, from
the
resource of statesmanlike moderation displayed, commanded almost the
respect and sympathy of Europe, were accomplished by a Jew-Manini,
who
by the bye is a Jew who professes the whole of the Jewish religion, and
believes in Calvary as well as Sinai, ‘a converted Jew’, as the
Lombards
styled him, quite forgetting, in the confusion of their ideas, that it
is the
Lombards who are the converts-not Manini.
Thus it will be seen that the persecution of the Jewish race has
deprived
European society of an important conservative element and added to the
destructive party an influential ally. Prince Metternich, the most
enlightened
of modern statesmen, not to say the most intellectual of men, was,
though
himself a victim of the secret societies, fully aware of these
premises. It was
always his custom, great as were the difficulties which in so doing he
had to
encounter, to employ as much as possible the Hebrew race in the public
service. He could never forget that Napoleon in his noontide hour had
been
checked by the pen of the greatest of political writers; he had found
that
illustrious author as great in the cabinet as in the study; he knew
that no one
had more contributed to the deliverance of Europe. It was not as a
patron, but
as an appreciating and devoted friend, that the high chancellor of
Austria
appointed Frederick Gentz secretary of the congress of Vienna-and
Frederick Gentz was a child of Israel."1774
