What Is A Jew – According to …..

John F. Kennedy: Israel has not been created to disappear. Israel will endure and flourish. He is the son of hope and the home of the brave. It cannot be destroyed by adversity or demoralised by success. Carry the shield of democracy and honour the sword of freedom.

David Ben Gurion: In Israel, to be realistic, one must believe in miracles.

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe: Energy is the foundation of everything. Every Jew, no matter how insignificant, is committed to some decisive and immediate pursuit of a goal… is the most perpetual people on earth.

John Adams: I will insist that the Hebrews have contributed more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist and believed in the eternal blind fate, I would still believe that fate has ordained Jews to be the most essential instrument to civilize nations. They are the most glorious nation that ever inhabited this earth. The Romans and their empire were nothing but a bubble compared to the Jews.

Leon Tolstoy: What is being Jewish? What kind of unique creature is this that the rulers of all nations of the world have dishonoured and crushed and expelled and destroyed; persecuted, burned and drowned and that, despite their hatred and fury, continues to live and flourish. What is this Jew who have never succeeded in tempting with all the temptations of the world, whose oppressors and persecutors only suggested that they deny (and dishonor) their religion and leave faithfulness to their ancestors long? The Jew – is the symbol of eternity… He is the one who has long cared for the prophetic message and transmitted it to all mankind. A town like this can never go away. The Jew is eternal. It’s the incarnation of eternity.

Eric Hoffer: Jews are a peculiar people: things allowed to other nations are prohibited from Jews. Other nations have expelled thousands, up to millions of people, yet no refugee problem. Russia did it. Poland and Czechoslovakia did it. Turkey expelled one million Greeks and Algeria one million French. Indonesia expelled God knows how many Chinese – and no one says a word of refugees. But in the case of Israel, displaced Arabs have become eternal refugees. Everyone insists that Israel must readmit each and every Arab. Arnold Toynbee describes the displacement of Arabs as a greater atrocity than the one committed by the nazis. Other nations when they are victorious on the battlefield dictate the terms of peace. But when Israel is the victorious he must pray for peace. Everyone expects Jews to be the only true Christians in this world.

Mark Twain: If the statistics are correct, Jews make up only one percent of the human race. It suggests a weak breath of star dust loss in Milky Way fire. Ownedly, the Jew should hardly be heard, but he is listened to and has always been heard. He is eminent on the planet like any other people and his commercial importance is notoriously out of proportion with the tinyness of his volume. His contribution to the global list of big names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine and abstruse knowledge is always out of proportion with the weakness of his numbers. He’s made a wonderful fight in this world, at all ages, and he’s done it with his hands tied behind his back. He could brag on himself and be forgiven for it.

The Egyptians, Babylonians and Persians rose, filled the planet with noise and splendour and then disappeared; the Greeks and the Romans followed them, made a lot of noise and gone, other peoples were born and kept their torch for a while, but the fire is extinguished and now they sit in the dark or they are missing. The Jew saw all of them, defeated them all and is now what he always was, without exhibiting any decadence, without aggravation, or weakening their parts, without decreasing their energies, without turning off their alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal except the Jew, all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret to your immortality?
