Chapter VII: The Anti-Semite 145

Error of neglecting to study Anti-Semitism on account of its extravagance--it is a most significant thing, however ill-balanced--character of the Anti-Semite--he does not recognize a Jewish problem to be solved but only a Jewish race to be hated--this hatred his whole motive--his self-contradictions--his delusion--his strength--the press still on the whole boycotts the Anti-Semitic movement--but it is growing prodigiously--its great power of _documentation_--its vast accumulation of evidence--effect this will have when it comes out.

The Jews met Anti-Semitism by nothing but ridicule--this weapon insufficient and bound to fail--their enemies have countered it by accumulating _facts_--the latter a much stronger weapon so long as the erroneous Jewish policy of secrecy is maintained.

Danger to the Jews of the Anti-Semitic movement--(1) because of its intensity--(2) because of its formidable accumulation of evidence, which cannot be permanently suppressed--(3) and most important, because it is allied to a now widespread and more moderate, but very hostile, feeling, to which it acts as spear-head.

CHAPTER VIII

BOLSHEVISM 167

The revolution in Russia will be the historical point of departure whence will date the renewed hostility to the Jew in Western Europe.

Examination of that revolution--it was (as said in Chapter III) "_a_ Jewish movement, _but not a movement of the Jewish race_:" importance of this distinction--unfortunately the two different terms "Jewish race" and "a Jewish movement" are confused in the popular mind.

The Revolution not the result of an accident or of a universal plot--element of racial revenge--the Jew not a revolutionary--special character of the Russian situation--Industrial Capitalism, the great evil of our time, there recent and weak--therefore open to special attack--an international evil--the only two international forces applicable were the Jews and the Catholic Church--why the Catholic Church cannot _directly_ attack industrial Capitalism--why the Jew who happens to be opposed to it can and does directly attack it--neither our instinct for property nor our Nationalism an obstacle in his case.

Grave perils to the Jew arise from his identification with Bolshevism--the more reason to meet these perils by a sane treatment of the Jewish problem.
