"There is a third group of Jews who are of the greatest im-
portance. They are the idealists. Their number is large and
their influence is incalculable. It is no accident that Jesus,
Rothschild and Karl Marx were Jews. These three symbolize
the three fundamental directions in which the world organiza-
tion must take place—by idealism, by economic organization,
by the common interests of the masses of mankind. These
typically Jewish attitudes are complementary, not exclusive.
There is no way of escaping the consequences of discrimination
