who wrote history of the Jewish
people, could not mentally embrace the
psychological unity of Jewry. as is
evidenced by the queer title of his
work-s"The History of the Jews"
AS stated already, the mind of all
men works along the same schematic
order and in conformity with the same
positive laws, valid alike for the cul-
tured and the crude. The cultured
mind is yet more prejudiced against
the Jew because its greater amount OF
thinking creates greater confusion OF,
thought and consequently results in
greater prejudice.
1T is now manifest why anti7Sem-
itism is the common property of all
classes of men, and why the Jews them
selves are participating therein. The
Jewish mind is subject to the same
laws that govern the worSingssof the
non-Jewish mind, and for that reason
falls victim to thessame confusion re
garding the Jews and the same pre-.
.,udice against them, that holds all 9TH
err minds in subsection. y
In the light of the above we have
Furthermore gained an insight into the
phenomenon, why mankind cannot
reach definite conclusion regarding
the real cause of anti-Semitism. The
intellect crowded out of the realms of
psychology and logic, and failing to
| fail back upon itself and contemplate
the spectacle presented by itself, can
/ impossibly be creative of clear con-
cepts and unbiased judgment. No
wonder then, if we find the numerous
volumes ON the Jewish Question mere
heap of divergent reflection which
/ leads to even greater CONFUSION of the
mind.
To conclude: We are forced to the
conviction that the primary cause or
anti-Jewish hostility consists in the
fact that the Jewish people represents
an anomalous body, since the all-im-
tation is lacking, and that by reason
of the abnormality of the Jewish col
\ lcctive body, the mind of man can
rot be psychological and logical when
thinking of the Jew: it is confused
and cOnceives n repugnance and pre-
iudice against the abnormal inaracu-
late object-the Jews.
1t seems that our theory of the basic
cause of anti-Semitism is sufficiently
proxmate to reality to grow into 1t.
The element of representation can be
created for, by and on behalf of the
international Jewish body.
When we consider that the Jewish
people has Il membership of fourteen
million souls determined to remain
Jews, and that the JEWISH body cor
porate has lofty objcct foY its .ex'
istence. it seems Reasonable to ASSUME
that with such material, and rthe eX-
tensive means of communication at
hand, ii should not be so difficult to
create Headship to that body.
Such step would at once trans
form the Jews from an aggregate into
II unit-into Il psychological entity
which the mind could clearly perceive
and judge Such Hcadship for Israel
can find its practical expression in Il
permanent International Jewish con
Sress with stable executive, then on
ly will the mind conceive of the jew
: ish people and the Jews psychologically
and logically, confusion of thought on
the Jewish question will take flight
and the prejudice against the jew will
disappear.
The Jewish people must become {
normal body corporate with the ele
ment of representation or forever sui
fer from the terrible effects of anti
Semitsm.
