Many so-called “gentiles” are somewhat affected by the Jews’ wails of
“persecution.” This has been sufficiently discussed in previous
articles, but “gentiles” can further contribute to the solution of the
Jewish Question by looking about them to see if they can discover any
evidence of “persecution” here—unless it be persecution of the
Christians by the organized agencies of the Jews! In this month’s
_Atlantic Monthly_ a Jewish rabbi, who undoubtedly knows better, assumes
that his race is a hated race. He rather enjoys the thought and accepts
it as a distinctive honor. Our “gentile” might also observe how untrue
this is—how, indeed, in this mixture of nations, the Jew gets off with
less even of the harmless kind of racial animosity than any other
foreign admixture.
Above all, the “gentile,” so-called, who in ninety cases out of every
one hundred is no gentile at all (as the Jews may well admit) will do
well to avoid fear. Nothing is more abject than “the fear of the Jew,”
and nothing more disastrous to the Jew than the tactics he employs to
sustain that fear. The Jewish subversive power has been powerful only
for evil and only where there was a disposition to evil. It has never
yet succeeded in bringing shame or confusion to the right.
Indeed, there is one sure way of gaining the respect of the Jew, and
that is, _Tell The Truth_. No one knows better than the Jew whether
statements made about Jews are true or not. “Gentiles” may never be
certain whether a statement made about the Jews may be relied upon, but
Jews always know. That is why prejudice, abuse, hatred, scorn, ridicule,
false charges roll off them as water off a duck. The Jews have never in
all their history feared the lies of their enemies; but they have feared
the truth. And if they only fear the truth in the ancient sense, not to
be afraid of it but to fear to violate it, and to fear to have the truth
testify against them, then the day of Judah’s return to standing has
come. The truth is Judah’s friend, and Israel’s friend, and the world’s
friend. It makes hard demands; it is sometimes not easy to speak and
harder still to hear; but the truth heals, as Judah is due to discover.
