Learning the lessons of history – Washington Jewish Week
We are all too familiar with the rhetorical currency of anti-Semites. Jews control the human and material resources of every society in which they are found, they say, no matter how few in number. They maintain an international conspiracy. They meet secretly, presenting a pleasant and cooperative face to the world, but using hidden teachings of their sacred books to plot the overthrow of societies they consider hostile. They say one thing publicly and the opposite in private. They have learned how to “pass” in society, but even the most “assimilated” Jew may be an operative in disguise. They are quick to cry bigotry, but ignore the teachings of contempt within their own synagogues, schools and sacred books. They never criticize each other. And, of course, they wish to frustrate the public expression of faith by goyim.
