Jewish
writer Samuel Roth's provocative 1934 work, Jews Must Live,
candidly addressed the theme of Jewish notions of "chosenness"
and "superiority" which had been consistently instilled
into the thinking of the Jewish people throughout history. Roth
described the nature of the Jewish religious teachings that were
brought to him in his earliest years:
What
the goyim [non-Jews] had was only a temporary possession which
'the stupid law of the gentiles was attempting to make permanent.
Were not they, the Jews, God's chosen? Did not God mean in the
very beginning that all the good things of the world should belong
to His favorites?
It
was the Jew's business to remember this at all times. Especially
in his dealings with the goyim, It was practically a moral obligation
on the part of every conscientious Jew to fool and cheat the goy
wherever and whenever possible.
The
impression that this arrangement made on me at that time was the
world had been created by God for the habitation and prosperity
of Israel. The rest of creation--cows, horses, nettles, oak trees,
dung and goyim-were placed there for our, the
Jews', convenience or inconvenience, depending on God's good humor
for the time being.
We
despised the goy and we hated his religion. The goy, according
to the stories crooned into the ears of the children, wantonly
worshiped an unsightly creature called the yoisel --
and a dozen names too foul for repetition. The yoisel
had once been a human being and a)ew. But one day he had gone
out of his mind, and in that pitiably bewildered state, had announced
that he was the Lord God Himself.
Roth
describes that tale as "an extraordinary caricature of the
founder of the opposing religion." And, course, the yoisel
in that tale was Jesus Christ.
A rabbi is shown instructing a student in the philosophy
of the Talmud, which is the real foundation of the Jewish
religion and its guide toward Jewish attitudes directing
the other peoples of the planet. In the Talmud can be gleaned
the origin of what is today referred to as 'The New World
Order."
