Stupidity of Anti-Semitism  -W�m*^^
By DAVID LLOYD GEORGE, Former British Prime MInlitci
IH (l.l
Of all the bigotries that savage i he human temper there is none �:') stupid as the anti-Semitic.
It has no basis in reason�*it is not rooted in faith�it aspires to ) ideal�it is just one of those nk and unwholesome weeds that grow in the morass of racial hatred.
How utterly devoid of reason it is may be gathered from the fact that it is almost confined to nations who worship the Jewish prophets and apostles and revere the national literature of the Hebrews as the only inspired message delivered by the Diety to mankind, and whose only hope nf salvation rests on the precepts and promises of the great teachers of Judaism.
Still, in the sight of these fanatics, Jews of to-day can do nothing right. If they are rich they are birds of prey. If they are poor they are vermin. If they are in favour of a war, that is because they want to exploit the bloody feuds of Gentiles to their own profit. If they are anxious for peace they are either instinctive cowards or traitors.
If they give generously�and there are no more liberal givers than the Jews�they are doing it for some selfish purpose of their own. If they don't give�then what would one expect of a Jew?
If labour is oppressed by great capital, the greed of the Jew is held responsible. If labour revolts against capital as it did in R issia�the Jew is blamed for that also.
If he lives in a strange land he tti ist be persecuted and pog-r -Timed out of it. If he wants to K back to his own he must be P vented.

Crucify Him"
Through the centuries in every d, whatever he does or intends ails to do, he has been pursued the echo of the brutal cry of rabble of Jerusalem against greatest of all Jews�"Crucify
vo good has ever come of ions that crucified Jews.  It is
poor and pusillanimous sport, "lacking all true qualities of manliness, and those who indulge in it would be the first to run away were there any element of danger in it.
Jew-baiters are generally of. the type that found good reasons for evading military service when their own country was in danger,
The latest exhibition of this wretched indulgence is the agitation against settling poor Jews in the land their fathers made famous. Palestine under Jewish rule once maintained a population of 5,000,000. Under the blighting rule of the Turk it barely supported a population of 70,000. The land flowing with milk and honey is now largely a stony and unsightly desert.
To quote one of the ablest and most far-sighted business men of to-day: "It is a land of the terrible neglect of its resources resulting from Turkish misrule. Its glorious estate has been let down by centuries of neglect. The Turks cut down the forest and never troubled to replant them. They slaughtered the cattle and never troubled to replace them."
It is one of the peculiarities of the Jew hunter that he adores the Turk.
Palestine and the Jew
If Palestine is to be restored to a condition even approximating to its ancient prosperity, it must be by settling Jews on its soil. The condition to which the land has been reduced by centuries of the most devastating oppression in the worid is such that restoration is only possible by a race that is prepared for sentimental reasons to make and endure sacrifices for the purpose.
What is the history of Jewish settlement in Palestine? It did not begin with the Balfour declaration- A century ago there were barely 10,000 Jews on the whole of Palestine. Before the war there were 100,000. This war considerably reduced these numbers and immigration since 1918
