Some   people like the Jews, and some do not. But no thoughtful man can deny the fact   that they are, beyond any question, the most formidable and the most remarkable   race which has appeared in the world.  Winston   Churchill

“The   Jew is that sacred being who has brought down from heaven the everlasting fire,   and has illumined with it the entire world. He is the religious source, spring,   and fountain out of which all the rest of the peoples have drawn their beliefs   and their religions.”  Leo   Tolstoy

“It was in vain that   we locked them up for several hundred years behind the walls of the Ghetto. No   sooner were their prison gates unbarred than they easily caught up with us, even   on those paths which we opened up without their aid.” A. A. Leroy   Beaulieu,    1842

“The   Jew gave us the Outside and the Inside – our outlook and our inner life. We can   hardly get up in the morning or cross the street without being Jewish. We dream   Jewish dreams and hope Jewish hopes. Most of our best words, in fact – new,   adventure, surprise, unique, individual, person, vocation, time, history,   future, freedom, progress, spirit, faith, hope, justice – are the gifts of the   Jews.” Thomas Cahill, Irish   Author

“One of the gifts of   the Jewish culture to Christianity is that it has taught Christians to think   like Jews, and any modern man who has not learned to think as though he were a   Jew can hardly be said to have learned to think at all.” William   Rees-Mogg, former Editor-in-Chief for The Times of London and a member of the House of   Lords

“It is certain that   in certain parts of the world we can see a peculiar people, separated from the   other peoples of the world and this is called the Jewish people…                          This   people is not only of remarkable antiquity but has also lasted for a singular   long time… For whereas the people of Greece and Italy, of Sparta, Athens and   Rome and others who came so much later have perished so long ago, these still   exist, despite the efforts of so many powerful kings who have tried a hundred   times to wipe them out, as their historians testify, and as can easily be judged   by the natural order of things over such a long spell of years. They have always   been preserved, however, and their preservation was foretold… My encounter   with this people amazes me…”  Blaise Pascal, French   Mathematician

“The Jewish   vision became the prototype for many similar grand designs for humanity, both   divine and man made. The Jews, therefore, stand at the center of the perennial   attempt to give human life the dignity of a purpose.” Paul Johnson,   American   Historian

“As   long as the world lasts, all who want to make progress in righteousness will   come to Israel for inspiration as to the people who had the sense for righteousness most   glowing and strongest.” Matthew Arnold, British poet and   critic

“Indeed  it is   difficult for all other nations of the world to live in the presence of the   Jews. It is irritating and most uncomfortable. The Jews embarrass the world as   they have done things which are beyond the imaginable. They have become moral   strangers since the day their forefather, Abraham, introduced the world to high   ethical standards and to the fear of Heaven. They brought the world the Ten   Commandments, which many nations prefer to defy. They violated the rules of   history by staying alive, totally at odds with common sense and historical   evidence. They outlived all their former enemies, including vast empires such as   the Romans and the Greeks.  They angered the world with their return to their   homeland after 2000 years of exile and after the murder of six million of their   brothers and sisters.
They aggravated mankind by building, in the wink   of an eye, a democratic State which others were not able to create in even   hundreds of years. They built living monuments such as the duty to be holy and   the privilege to serve one’s fellow men.                          They had their hands in every   human progressive endeavor, whether in science, medicine, psychology or any   other discipline, while totally out of proportion to their actual numbers. They   gave the world the Bible and even their “savior.”                          Jews taught the world   not to accept the world as it is, but to transform it, yet  only a few nations   wanted to listen. Moreover, the Jews introduced the world to one God, yet only a   minority wanted to draw the moral consequences. So the nations of the world   realize that they would have been lost without the   Jews…
And   while their subconscious  tries to remind them of how much of Western   civilization is framed in terms of concepts first articulated by the Jews, they   do  anything to suppress it.
They deny that Jews remind them of a higher   purpose of life and the need to be honorable, and do anything to escape its   consequences. It is simply too much to  handle for them, too embarrassing to   admit, and above all, too difficult to live by.                    So the nations of the   world decided once again to go out of ‘their’ way in order to find a stick to   hit the Jews. The goal: to prove that Jews are as immoral and guilty of massacre   and genocide as some of they themselves are.
All this in  order to hide   and justify their own failure to even protest when six million Jews were brought   to the slaughterhouses of Auschwitz and Dachau; so as to wipe out the moral   conscience of which the Jews remind them, and they found a   stick.                    Nothing could be more gratifying for them than to find the Jews   in a struggle with another people (who are completely terrorized by  their own   leaders) against whom the Jews, against their best wishes, have to defend   themselves in order to survive. With great satisfaction, the world allows and   initiates the rewriting of history so as to fuel the rage of yet another people   against the Jews. This in spite of the fact that the nations understand very   well that peace between the parties could have come a long time ago, if only the   Jews would have had a fair chance. Instead, they happily jumped on the wagon of   hate so as to justify their jealousy of the Jews and their incompetence to deal   with their own moral issues.
When Jews look at the bizarre play taking   place in The Hague, they can only smile as this artificial game once more proves   how the world paradoxically admits the Jews uniqueness. It is in their need to   undermine the Jews that they actually raise them.                    The study of history   of Europe during the past centuries teaches us one uniform lesson: That the   nations which received and in any way dealt fairly and mercifully with the Jew   have prospered; and that the nations that have tortured and oppressed them have   written out their own curse.” Olive Schreiner, South African novelist   and social   activist

“If there   is any honor in all the world that I should like, it would be to be an honorary   Jewish citizen.” A.L Rowse, authority on Shakespeare
