Matthew Arnold, British poet and critic, said:

“As long as the world lasts, all who want to make progress in righteousness will come to Israel for inspiration as to the people who had the sense for righteousness most glowing and strongest.”

Olive Schreiner, South African novelist and social activist said:

“Indeed it is difficult for all other nations of the world to live in the presence of the Jews.  It is irritating and most uncomfortable.  The Jews embarrass the world as they have done things which are beyond the imaginable.  They have become moral strangers since the day their forefather, Abraham, introduced the world to high ethical standards and to the fear of Heaven.  They brought the world the Ten Commandments which many nations prefer to defy.  They violated the rules of history by staying alive, totally at odds with common sense and historical evidence.  They outlived all their former enemies, including vast empires such as the Romans and the Greeks.  They angered the world with their return to their homeland after 2000 years of exile and after the murder of six million of their brothers and sisters.

“They aggravated mankind by building, in the wink of an eye, a democratic State which others were not able to create in even hundreds of years.  They built living monuments such as the duty to be holy and the privilege to serve one’s fellow men.

“They had their hands in every human progressive endeavor, whether in science, medicine, psychology or any other discipline, while totally out of proportion to their actual numbers.  They gave the world the Bible and even their ‘savior’.

“Jews taught the world not to accept the world as it is, but to transform it, yet only a few nations wanted to listen.  Moreover, the Jews introduced the world to one God, yet only a minority wanted to draw the moral consequences.  So the nations of the world realize that they would have been lost without the Jews.  And while their subconscious tries to remind them of how much of Western civilization is framed in terms of concepts first articulated by the Jews, they do anything to suppress it.

“They deny that Jews remind them of a higher purpose of life and the need to be honorable, and do anything to escape its consequences.  It is simply too much to handle for them, too embarrassing to admit, and above all too difficult to live by.

“So the nations of the world decided once again to go out of ‘their’ way in order to find a stick to hit the Jews.  The goal:  to prove that Jews are as immoral and guilty of massacre and genocide as some of them, themselves are.

“All this in order to hide and justify their own failure to even protest when six million Jews were brought to the slaughterhouses of Auschwitz and Dachau; so as to wipe out the moral conscience of which the Jews remind them, and they found a stick.

“Nothing could be more gratifying for them than to find the Jews into a struggle with another people (who are completely terrorized by their own leaders) against whom the Jews, against their best wishes, have to defend themselves in order to survive.  With great satisfaction, the world allows and initiates the rewriting of history so as to fuel the rage of yet another people against the Jews.  This in spite of the fact that the nations understand very well that peace between the parties could have come a long time ago, if only the Jews would have had a fair chance.

“Instead, they happily jumped on the wagon of hate so as to justify their jealousy of the Jews and their incompetence to deal with their own moral issues.  When Jews look at the bizarre play taking place in The Hague, they can only smile as this artificial game once more proves how the world paradoxically admits the Jews uniqueness.  It is in their need to undermine the Jews that they actually raise them.

“The study of history of Europe during the past centuries teaches us one uniform lesson:  That the nations which received and in any way dealt fairly and mercifully with the Jew have prospered; and that the nations that have tortured and oppressed them have written out their own curse.”

A.L. Rowse, authority on Shakespeare and Elizabethan England, said:

“If there is any honor in all the world that I should like, it would be to be an honorary Jewish citizen.”

Blaise Pascal, French Mathematician, said:

“It is certain that in certain parts of the world we can see a peculiar people, separated from the other peoples of the world and this is called the Jewish people. . .  This people is not only of remarkable antiquity but has also lasted for a singular long time. . .  For where as the people of Greece and Italy, of Sparta, Athens and Rome and others who came so much later have perished so long ago, these still exist, despite the efforts of so many powerful kings who have tried a hundred times to wipe them out, as their historians testify, and as can easily be judged by the natural order of things over such a long spell of years.  They have always been preserved, however, and their preservation was foretold. . .  My encounter with this people amazes me. . . ”

A. A. Leroy Beaulieu, French publicist, said in 1842:

“It was in vain that we locked them up for several hundred years behind the walls of the Ghetto.  No sooner were their prison gates unbarred than they easily caught up with us, even on those paths which we opened up without their aid.”

William Rees-Mogg, former Editor-in-Chief for the Times of London and a member of the House of Lords, said:

“One of the gifts of the Jewish culture to Christianity is that it has taught Christians to think like Jews, and any modern man who has not learned to think as though he were a Jew can hardly be said to have learned to think at all.”

Winston Churchill said:

“Some people like the Jews, and some do not.  But no thoughtful man can deny the fact that they are, beyond any question, the most formidable and the most remarkable race which has appeared in the world.”

Thomas Cahill, the famous Irish author said:

“The Jew gave us the Outside and the Inside - our outlook and our inner life.  We can hardly get up in the morning or cross the street without being Jewish.  We dream Jewish dreams and hope Jewish hopes. Most of our best words, in fact - new, adventure, surprise, unique, individual, person, vocation, time, history, future, freedom, progress, spirit, faith, hope, justice - are the gifts of the Jews.”

Leo Tolstoy wrote:

“The Jew is that sacred being who has brought down from heaven the everlasting fire, and has illumined with it the entire world.  He is the religious source, spring, and fountain out of which all the rest of the peoples have drawn their beliefs and their religions.”

Paul Johnson, an American historian, wrote:

“The Jewish vision became the prototype for many similar grand designs for humanity, both divine and man made.  The Jews, therefore, stand at the center of the perennial attempt to give human life the dignity of a purpose.”

This was written by Mark Twain and first published in HARPER’S magazine in September of 1887:

“If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one quarter of one percent of the human race.  It suggests a nebulous dim puff of stardust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way.  Properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of; but he is heard of, has always been heard of.  He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk.

“His contributions to the world's list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine and abstruse learning are very out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers.  He has made a marvelous fight in this world in all ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him.  He could be vain of himself and be excused for it.  The Egyptians, the Babylonians and the Persians rose, filled the planet with sound and splendour; then faded to dream-stuff and passed away:  the Greeks and the Romans followed and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished.

The Jew saw them all, survived them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind.  All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains.  What is the secret of his immortality?”

Below is a summary of an article printed in a Spanish newspaper; it had readers in most countries of Western Europe:

“I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth - Europe died in Auschwitz.  We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims.

“In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent.  We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.  The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world.  These are the people we burned.

“And under the pretence of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.

“They have turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime. Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naïve hosts.

“And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition.  We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for hoping for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy - for others who pursue death&59; people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others - for our children and theirs.

“What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe.”

And these are just some of the reasons Sam Sez he’s proud to be a Jew!
