HANJJKAH WITHOUT ANALOGIES

This particular Hanukah editorial is almost devoid OF
analOgies.
How can we compare the present-day jewish misery
under the Nazs to the life Of the Jews under Greek RUE
The Greeks did aim at the total DETERMINATION OF tne
Jewish people True their aim closely parallel They
sought to destroy the Jewish way of life But that applied
IN the collective They did not aim at the extermnaon
IF women and children and the aged They demanded sur
render but surrender that acceptable to other peo
MES although impossible for the Jews.
Shall we compare the Jews of the Warsaw ghetto to
the Maccabees of old? Again the analogy would not follow
through The Maccabees fought in army fashion They
small in numbers against the Greek egiOns they were
undermined and their weapons not uptOdate But
thew were a revolutionary peoples army The heroes OF
the Warsaw ghetto fought with their bare fists and little
The Maccabees fought for their right to their own
av of life the Jews in the Warsaw ghetto fought for mere
existence an existence filled with humiliation forced upon
them by cruel fOe ~
But there is one analogy Both the fighters IN the
Warsaw ghetto and Maccabees had common the hope
for the restoration of Judea This hope motvated the
Maccabees resistance and is this hope that sustans the
LEWIS in the ghettos It eternal hope on its way to
realization and White Papers will not stop the processes OF
history mn uu
Only one other analogy follows through. The HELEN
;sts are still among u.s. They lay claim to American
iSno # is sham claim HeIenism despsed the Rabbinic
laws and Jewish natiOnasm in much the fashion as
the gentlemen of the American Council for Judaism despse
r. How unfair America that they call their Council
American Council It is the Helenistic Council for some
thing or other They have little in common with the Amer
lean tradition which is closely linked with the jewish ira
dtiOn and with the Zion that has given birth to NOnlsm
This is the only Hanukah analogy that follows through
in our time That is painful and embarrassing one IS
not fault.

wartime anti-Semitism has
been evident in various parts OF

"While more cautious, than at
times in the past, more circum-

prejudice has been exhibited IN

that despite all of the anti-Semltlc
elements, "the native good sense
of the American people manifest
ed itself. BY and large, they
knew that it was the Axis that
sought to thrive on the dislocat-
ions of a peaceful group turned
warriors; that sought to inflame
local irritations and to infurlate
group against group, race against
race, religion against religion.
The American people recognized
and. on the whole, resisted tne
schemes to transfer the struggle
from the military battlefield on
which their defeat was inevitable

believed they might still prevail"

The statement on u. S. policy
with regard to Palestine made by
Assistant Secretary Of State Long
before the House Committee in
Washington came as disappoint-
ment to Zionist leaders This
statement, the first of it's kind,
did not mention the Jews, the
Balfour Declaration, the Jewish
National Home It spoke of
American interest in Palestine's
future from the viewpoint of the
larger aspect of world security
and world peace" In the
light of growing pro-Arab propa-
ganda in Washington, conducted
by interested American individuals
of influence, this statement is
certainly calculated to appease

point of view of world security

rights of humans and humanitar-
ian sympathies and the religious
sentiments involved"
The Assistant Secretary of
State also revealed that at one
time the United States Govern
ment tried to get the Jews out of
Rumania to Palestine by railroad
instead of by boat. "The Turkish
Government" Mr.. Long disclosed,
took the position that these peo-
pie could pass in transit through
that small part of Turkey which
lies between the Straits and Bull
garia. It would give them access
to Istanbul, and that was the way
we happened to get into this kind
of transportation; but finally the
German Government heard abou-
it and interfered and prevented
it,"
