Book Review

(Continued from Page 5)

Governments like the Tsar's, or that of Hitler, needed a scrapegoat.
It is said that Tojo expressed his regret at not having Jews in
Japan whom he could blame for the defeats. Individuals, besides
having been brought up and raised on the prejudices and having
sucked it in with their mother's milk cannot, even if they wish, get
rid of them. Gorky relates his conversations with Tolstoy, who cer-
tainly cannot be accused of anti-Semitism. In an outburst of sincerity,
he said to Maxim: "Just the same, if there be two stores, one a
Gentile's and the other a Jewish, I would have bought from the
Gentile." It was King Alphonso of Spain who stated that if Spain
had Jews he would have remained on the throne by blaming every-
thing on the Jews. The sum total is that the Jew is the eternal lamb
and the Christian the wolf. No matter how good the Jew is the
wolf will find a reason for devouring him. And the Jews cannot
cease to be Jews as long as the Christians don't cease to be Chris-
tians. Anti-Semitism is a mad passion akin to the lowest perversion
of diseased human nature. It is the will to hate.
The Talmud relates the following story. The emperor Hadrian of
Rome was an honest anti-Semite. One day, on his journey in the
East, a Jew passed the imperial train and saluted the emperor.
Hadrian was besides himself with rage. "You, a Jew, dare to greet
the emperor!" he roared. "You shall pay for that with your life."
In the course of the same day, another Jew passed him, and warned
by the example he did not greet Hadrian. Whereupon the emporcr
exclaimed, "You, a Jew, dare to pass the emperor without greeting!
You have forfeited your life." To his astonished courtiers he then
said, "I hate the Jews. Whatever they do I find intolerable. I,
therefore, make use of any pretext to destroy them."
So are all anti-Semites. Zigmund Livingstone does not know the
solution of the problem; neither does anybody. The Jew has existed
for a long time, and will exist for a long time to come. If it is
any satisfaction to him, he should feel that the majority of Jews
are liberal, pacifist, humanitarian. To these people it should bring
strength and courage to know their inner dignity, to know that
it convictions and ideals have been the central convictions of their
for at least 2500 years. By virtue of these convictions and
