Let him shed his false program of breaking down Christendom by the
infiltration of Orientalism into business, art, entertainment and the
professions.
Let him abolish the false ideal that it is an honor to Jewry to save a
guilty Jew from the common law, and a disgrace to Jewry to see a guilty
Jew punished by the common law.
Let him draw up notice on all the Jews of the United States who by hook
or crook are sowing vile seed in society, that the Jewish community
charges itself with their misbehavior and will use methods well known to
Jews to bring that misbehavior to an end.
Let the Jew end forever the disgrace of an anti-defamation committee
which grows frantic over innocent remarks on the part of “Gentiles,” and
is absolutely indifferent to the misdeeds of thousands of Jews who do
more damage to the Jewish name than all the “Gentile” critics and
newspapers could do in twenty years. No one can give the Jews a bad
reputation but the Jews themselves.
Most Jews who have given this matter a thought will agree. A good deal
of bad temper exists among them, no doubt, and it will be hard for them
to admit that anything THE DEARBORN INDEPENDENT may contend for is
right, but the idea here expressed, when divorced from this paper, does
command respect from many Jews.
The question remains: When will they start on the program here
suggested?
Human nature being what it is, they will hate to start at all if it will
seem that the present agitation has compelled them. But would they have
started without the agitation ?
It is possible for an additional number of Jews to catch the thought
that this series of articles cannot be so easily explained away—we are
not referring to the contents now, but to the fact that these articles
exist at all—as being the creation of prejudice, or hatred or
vindictiveness or ignorance?
Suppose these articles should be truly a sign of the times for American
Jewry! Suppose they offer a warning word, however unwelcome, and a
light, however undesired, which it would be most unwise for Jews to
ignore.
Suppose these articles were conceived in a spirit far different than the
average pro-Jewish spouter is competent to understand. Suppose the
ultimate benefit will be mostly Judah’s. Suppose the set time has now
come for the Jews to quit their attitude of attacking everyone who shows
them the truth, and to profit by this report of the poor figure they cut
in American life today. Suppose these people who are moved to search and
report the truth about Judah are truly the shophar calling the people to
a new day—is it wise to let stubbornness counsel? Is it wise to let
pride close the ear?
