Mark Twain & the Jews

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

I find it amazing how many anti-Semitic people are still around. This
wonderful article was written in 1899, when anti-Semitism was widespread
in the U.S. Large companies did not hire Jewish people.

Universities either did not admit Jews or limited their numbers
withstrict quotas. “Respectable” people like Ford and Edison expressed
theiranti-Jewish feelings openly. Mark Twain had an answer for
them.


WRITTEN BY MARK TWAIN – HARPER’S, SEPTEMBER 1899If
the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent ofthe human
race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of star dust lost inthe blaze of
the Milky Way. Properly the Jew ought hardly be heard of, buthe is heard
of, has always been heard of.

He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his
commercialimportance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness
of hisbulk.

His contributions to the world’s list of great names in
literature,science, art, music, finance, medicine, and obtuse learning
arealso way out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers.

He has made a marvellous fight in this world in all the ages, and he
hasdone it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himselfand
be excused for it. The Egyptians, the Babylonians, and the Persians rose,
filled the planet with sound and splendor, and faded to dream stuff and
passed away. The Greeks and the Romans followed and made a vast noiseand
they are gone. Other peoples have sprung up and held their torch highfor
a time. But it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or
havevanished.

The Jew saw them all, and is now what he always was,exhibiting no
decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowingof
his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All thingsare
mortal but the Jew.

All other forces pass, but he remains. Amen.
