has been called the greatest miracle; the jew
Is the question mark OF history also from diff
fcrent standpoint.
The jew has so many questions to ask OF the
world. questions that seem to remain unan-
swered. Some Of the questions that the Jew
asks the following:
Assuming that no group OF human beings
be perfect, why the Jewish people Il
such Judged not by the iliustrious members, or
by the majority Of sclf-respectIng, law abiding,
vlrtuous Jews, but by an extremely small num-
ber of worthless, un-Jewish Jews. Why is there
cryptic fear TO denl with all Jews because 1t
may happen. very rarely, that some individual
who claims Jewish birth, has made dishonest
deal?
why Is the Jew, if he mngles in Jewish So
cicty, considered Clannish, and IL he tries TO
mingle In non-Jewish circles he IL too frequent
~ barred. or II admitted. ia In too many in
stances. considered an intruder or persona
non grata?
why do the churches that should teach love,
toven for the enemy persist In spreading hate,
indirectly and perhaps unwiiinsly, by indoc,
uinatng its adherents from early childhood
onward with the historically false teaching that
It the Jews tand not the Romansl who
crucified the Founder of Christianity?
why do not the textbooks OF American history
mention that together with Columbus there
were Marco ca Jewish surEeon) Bernal ca Jew

Louis de Torres, the first white man ca Jew to
tread tho soil of San Salvador? Scientific in
vesugatiors are now being made to prove the
hypothesis that Columbus was Jew, or OF
Jewish parentagc.
Why do not the school textbooks mention
Uyam Solomon who gave up his entire fortune
for American independence; Emanuel Mordecai
Noah, who served as an officer on washing

why should there be heard such an express
sion as: You are white Jew Implying that

Why should the world always regard the jew
ns "A parasite, in spite of the service he renders
| humanity? Are there some rich Jews? Then
| they have not obtained their wealth by any
| worse means than have the non-Jewish pluto
| Gratis. And, by the way, IL Is OF interest to

Is the jew radical? Then he Is prosecuted by

! radicals mako life miserable for him (witness

| are regarded aS bourgeois by the soviet lead
ers among whom are few self-contessed

| Whatever the jew does, he cannot satisfy

| down and die? But this the jew cannot do. II
| he cannot be put to death. he surely cannot
take his own life, he has too strong will tC
| live. Speaking for Israel the psalmist says: "l
