Rv ELISHA M. FRIEDMAN

ident Wilson at the Peace Confer
ence, on March 4, 1919:
For the very reason that the
new era upon which the world is
entering aims to establish govern
ment everywhere on principles OF
true democracy, we reject the
Zionist project of a national home
for the Jewish people in Palestine.
1T is evident that for the Jew
ish population of these countries,
variously estimated at from six to
ten millions, Palestine can become
no homeland"
President Wilson utterly ignored
this statement.
Subsequently, history from 1919
1915 revealed the criminal folly of
anti-Zionism. Of the five signers,
three died before the extermina-
ton of 100000 Jews and could
not undo their mischief. Only two
survived that holocaust and, as a
result, they ceased their anti-Zion-
list balderdash. But a new gener-
alton of witless anti-Zionists has
arisen that does not understand
either Jewish history or contemp-
orary civilization.
Against the above anti-Zionists,
in 1919, Louis Marshall, then Pres
ident of the American Jewish Com
mittee, wrote " have never been
identified, and am not now in any

liant Phineous stabbed the prince
of the tribe of Simeon for COM
hitting a sin with a Midanite
woman. The prince, referred to
as "Zinri" is really named
"Schlemiel Ben Zurishadai" (see
Midrash Observation-Disclosures Pin
chos.) The Bible mentions that
many people committed such sins
plumbers 25:1) and yet this man
called "Schlemiel" fell as the ex-
ample and the scapegoat for all
the rest, thus eternalizing his
name "schlemiel' as the classical
"fall guy"
It is generally believed that
some intolerant Prussian official
used this Biblical name in vicious
attempt to persecute a Jew or
Jews. The Jewish people, how
ever, have always displayed their
genius in Transforming malice into
mirth and thus the "schlemieP' of
the Prussian hate-monger, turned
out to be the basis of a great deal
of Jewish humor.

The American Council now
agrees with British anti-Zionists.
But when Britain was in desperate
straits in 1889 and 1910, the leader
of these Jewish anti-Zionists was
active in the anti-British move
ment called America First"
Leasing Rosenwald was one of the
principal financial contributors and
the only Jewish member on
the Executive Committee. The
Zionists were .conspicuously alb
sent from isolationist organizations
like America First" But they
were active in all movements for
aid to Britain and for world or
ganization. The notorious anti
Semitic, anti-Britisher and isola-
zionist, Gerald L. K. Smith, who
was under Federal indictment for
subversive activities, wrote in his
magazine, "The Cross and the
Flag, of his warm approval as an
American Firster" of the Execu-
tive Director of the American
Council for Judaism, Elmer Berg
er, whose book, "The Jewish
Dilemma, is juvenile folderol.
The naturalization of Leasing
ROsenwald's fear produced a fan
tastic theory and this strange
Council. The cOckeyed notion is
supported by no outstanding Jews.
by no Hebrew scholars, by no So
biologists, by no historians. No
President of the several Jewish
theological seminaries in the Unit
ed States endorses this fantasy,
nor does any member of their
families. The Council members in
clude none of the labOring classes.
1t consists of the psychOlOgically
insecure fringe, a few rich Jews
who are generally Indifferent to
Judaism and who take no part in
any of the spiritual endeavOrs or
the cultural activities of Jewish
life. A few of them content them
selves with defense" activities to
combat anti-Semitism. They fid-
die with the symptoms of the Jew
ish problem and neglect it's basic
cause.-the lack of one land in the
world where the Jews are a ma
jOrity.
The American, Council consists
of a handful of frightened, bour-
geois Jews who have concocted
irrational fantasies. Anti-Zionist
Jews spoke also in 1919 against
the Balfour Declaration. They
presented this statement to Pres
