The heading of this article presents difficulties. The correct use of
the term “Gentile” is in question. It is a name that has been given us,
not by ourselves, but by Jews, and it is by no means certain that it is
accurately given. A very great chance exists that it is not. That,
however, is a matter which “gentiles” do not bother to understand; they
think, of course, that if one is not a Jew one must be a gentile. This
is only another instance of the Jewish view being “put over” without the
“gentile” understanding or even questioning it.
There is another difficulty: how shall one address “gentiles”
collectively? When one addresses Jews he knows that the Jew is always a
Jew; that every Jew acknowledges every other Jew; that Jews understand
each other and are loyal to each other as against “outsiders”; that they
think together and act together; that they stand together for Jewish
defense, no matter how just the charge brought against them. When you
address Jews you address a unit, and when you discuss Jews you get a
united reaction from them.
This cannot be said of gentiles. They are of many races, many
nationalities, many religions, many tongues. They never think of
themselves as being united under the name “gentiles.” They are not race
or class conscious; certainly they do not think of themselves as a unit
with reference to the Jews as an opposite unit. “Gentiles” cannot be
organized into one group nationally, let alone internationally, as Jews
can. Jews of every shade of opinion, of every degree of religion and of
unreligion, can unite all round the world, and do unite, having their
own news service, their own telegraph service, their own “foreign
department” (as they themselves describe it), by which they keep
themselves united and informed for mass action. There is nothing even
remotely approaching that among “gentiles.”
Not that this fact can be urged against the “gentiles” as a fault. There
are reasons why the “gentiles” never can be united. And one reason is
that among the so-called “gentiles” there is a regnant superior strain
that is not “gentile” at all; no more is it Jewish. There are racial and
moral strains among the non-Jewish section of the world which never can
be brought into agreement. And, outside this superior strain, among the
gentiles proper, the very basis for enduring union is lacking.
So that the only union that can be expected is a union of the superior
strain, which physically and morally is unconquerable, and whose task it
is to liberate the lesser peoples who easily fall victims to subversion
and have no reactive power to rescue themselves.
It is to this human Gulf Stream that flows through the ocean of
humanity, blessing it, that this address is offered. As to the identity
of this section of humanity—“He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
The others will not, because they cannot. There are many genuine
gentiles mixed up in our common population, but it is not to them that
these words are offered.
