Response to Anti-Jew quotes

Response to «1000
Quotes by and about Jews»

These quotes come from the Hate site http://abbc.com/quotes and the document
called «1000 Quotes by and about Jews». It is widely available on the
Internet in various forms, but the version at this hate site appears to be
definitive and therefore the quote numbers will be referenced to it. The
same quotes on other sites may have different reference numbers.
Many «quotes» under discussion are either outright forgeries or out of
context or reconstructed to give a meaning that the original author never
intended. The remaining quotes come from anti-Semitic sources such as Henry
Ford I. There is little point in trying to refute quotes from genuine anti-Semitic
sources, but in as much as the other alleged quotes libel the good name of
those people who were meant to have made them, and, of course, the target
group, these will be exposed for what they are.
In due course, all of the quotes will be dealt with, but it is a very time
consuming process.

QUOTE
«That German Jewry could raise the Star of David — Emblazoned Zionist Flag…»
(Nuremburg Laws of 1935)
RESPONSE
This is quote #21 form the anti-Semitic document «1000 Quotes by and About
Jews» available at http://abbc.com/quotes/q001-050.htm and other sources.

It does not actually appear in the Nuremburg laws but appears to be a
comment upon them. What is actually stated in these infamous laws, «Law for
the Protection of German Blood and German Honor», September 15, 1935, is:

SECTION 4
1. Jews are forbidden to hoist the Reich and national flag and to present
the colors of the Reich.
2. On the other hand they are permitted to present the Jewish colors. The
exercise of this authority is protected by the State.
(For a copy of the laws see http://www.mtsu.edu/~baustin/nurmlaw3.html )
It is hardly an honour that Jews were allowd to raise «the Jewish colors» (whatever
is meant by that) since Jews were not allowed to raise the German flag.
These laws removed German citizenship from Jews. Until then Jews had
considered themselves solid, patriotic, German citizens. Shortly after this,
Jews lost their right to live.

In March 1964, Elizabeth Shepherd issued a leaflet called, «Who Are the
Haters?,» which contained writer Ben Hecht’s executing-Christians quote. The
quote was picked up by anti-Semitic groups around the country and even used
by some ultra-conservative groups which were not anti-Semitic. But there is
irony in the use-or, rather, misuse-of this particular quote. The passage
appears in Hecht’s novel, A Jew in Love (1931), but it is uttered by an anti-Communist
named Boshere. And Boshere, after making his remark about feeding Christians
to the lions, adds; «I would do the same thing to radicals today.»

ALLEGED QUOTE
«The Christians are always singing about the blood. Let us give them enough
of it! Let us cut their throats and drag them over the altar! And let them
drown in their own blood! I dream of the day when the last priest is
strangled on the guts of the last preacher.»
Jewish Chairman of the American Communist Party, Gus Hall
(NOTE: SEE BELOW FOR A VARIANT QUOTE)
RESPONSE (1)
The above quote is #165 from the anti-Semitic document
http://abbc.com/quotes/q151-200.htm «1000 Quotes by and about Jews». It is
available in similar form from many sources, but not necessarily with the
same number.
Like many such «quotes», this one is not properly referenced so it is
difficult to trace its source. However, in this case it is only necessary to
point out that the author of this Jewish-attributed «quote» is not actually
Jewish. Gus Hall was of Finnish descent. His birth name was Arvo Mike
Halberg. (I have another report that his middle name was «Justa».)
He says that he «was baptized in the most conservative religious
denomination, the Evangelical Lutheran Church». (Source: «After 50 years:
Truth triumphs over the lies of anti-communism» November 29, 1997, «People’s
Weekly World».
An extremely ironical fact in relation to this claim is as follows:
«The CPUSA Secretary for Relations with Foreign Communist Parties was a FBI
agent, reporting regularly to the US government all the secret things Hall &
Co were doing. He was named Morris Childs (ne Chilovsky) and _was_ Jewish.»
Source: Quoted from Usenet message Message-ID: <37ef61aa@news.iglou.com>,
Author: Joseph Major (jtmajor@iglou.com), Date: 27 Sep 1999 08:23:06 -0500

Apparently a lot of Finns became involved in American socialism as the
following quote attests:
«Finnish immigrants were the first in the nation to found a foreign-language
group of the American Socialist Party. Finntown in Virginia had a
three-story brick building known as the Socialist Opera. By one estimate, a
third of the Finns on the Iron Range in 1913 were socialists. In the 1930s,
40 percent of the total membership of the American communist party
nationwide came from one small immigrant group – the Finns. Gus Hall, the
longtime head of the American Communist party, came from a Finnish farmstead
on the Iron Range.» Source: «Finland Was a Poor Country: Part 2 By Mary
Losure and Dan Olson June 10, 1997 (Minnesota Public radio)
http://news.mpr.org/features/199706/10_losurem_finnpoor/finnpoor2.htm
Apart from the fact that Gus Hall does not appear to be Jewish, the quote
itself seems spurious. Why would an American Communist, in a country with
many strongly- religious Christians make such a statement if he were trying
to get support for his cause?
Gus Hall has also stated «Right-wing forces also spread the lie that
Communists are anti-religion. In all my years I have never heard anyone in
our party make an anti-religion remark or speech.» (Source: November 29,
1997, People’s Weekly World). It is difficult to reconcile this remark with
the one that is attributed to him.
In addition, the last line bears an uncanny resemblance to a paraphased
quote, the original of which is attributed to Jean Meslier c. 1664-1733 and
appears in French in Testament (ed. R. Charles, 1864) vol. 1, ch. 2.
Meslier’s quote starts out (English translation): I remember, on this
matter, the wish made once by an ignorant, uneducated man…He said…. The
man’s wish, expressed next, is often presented in paraphased form as «Je
voudrais…que le de ier des rois fût étranglé avec les boyaux du de ier
prêtre», «I should like…the last of the kings to be strangled with the guts
of the last priest». [source «Oxford Dictionary of Quotations», 4th revised
edition, 1996, ISBN 0-19-860058-5
David S. Maddison (maddison@connexus.net.au)
RESPONSE 2 (A variant of the above quotation.)
STRANGLED-TO-DEATH QUOTE «I dream of the hour when the last Congressman is
strangled to death on the guts of the last preacher-and since Christians
like to sing about the blood, why not give them a little of it? Slit the
throats of their children and drag them over the mourners’ bench and the
pulpit, and allow them to drown in their own blood, and then see whether
they enjoy singing these hymns.»
When Gus Hall, General Secretary of the American Communist Party, was
invited to speak at the University of Oregon in 1962, there was an outburst
of protest in Eugene, where the university is located, and an outpouring of
anti-Hall posters and leaflets featuring the strangled-to-death statement
which Hall was charged with having made at a Communist convention in 1937
and again at the funeral of Communist leader Eugene Dennis in 1961. But the
New York Times, which covered the Dennis funeral, mentioned no such
bloodcurdling statement in Hall’s eulogy, and Hall himself, when queried
about it by reporters in Eugene, said the statement was so vile he wouldn’t
bother denying it. The attribution of the inflammatory words to Hall first
appeared in reactionary Kenneth Goff’s Pilgrim Torch in April 1961, but
actually they can be traced back to Jean Meslier (a Catholic who tu ed
anti-Christian), whose will, published by Voltaire in 1733, stated: «I
should like to see . . . the last king strangled with the guts of the last
priest.» In 1980, evangelist Jerry Falwell’s Moral Majority used the phony
Gus Hall quotation in a multi-media presentation entitled, «America, You’re
Too Young to Die.» Cited: Roy Paul Nelson, «On Cranberries and Communism,»

«There were two publications with this name. The first one, a daily in
Cleveland, Ohio, was established in 1908 and suspended in 1952. The second
Jewish World was published daily in Philadelphia from 1913 until 1941, when
it became a weekly. It finally suspended in 1945.
. . .
Common Sense of January 15,1962, quotes the Jewish World of March 15, 1923,
as saying:
Fundamentally, Judaism is Anti-Christian.
Lyrl Van Hyning uses the same quotation in her collection of anti-Semitic
lies and forgeries, Key to the Mystery, page 13. Victor Marsden, translator
of that masterpiece of forgery, The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion,
uses the same quotation on page 7 of the March, 1958 edition of World
Conquest Through World Government, under which name the notorious Protocols
were published in London by the Britons Publishing Society.
In checking out this obviously phoney quotation, we carried on considerable
correspondence until we finally determined that a file of the Philadelphia
Jewish World was in the archives of the New York Public Library and that a
file of the Cleveland Jewish World was in the archives of the Midwest
Inter-Library Center in Chicago. In reply to our inquiry regarding
«Fundamentally, Judaism is Anti-Christian» we received a negative report
from the New York Public Library, one of the world’s finest research
libraries (see page 127).
On June 21, 1962, we visited the Midwest Inter-Library Center in Chicago, a
most unique research institution, whose facilities are available only to
faculty members of the thirteen supporting universities and to research
scholars. To our surprise we found that they had files of both the Cleveland
and the Philadelphia Jewish World. A most painstaking search failed to
reveal any trace of the quotations allegedly appearing in the January 16,
1919 issue and in the March 15, 1923 issue.
One week later we again checked the Philadelphia Jewish World in the
archives of the New York Public Library, and personally verified the report
we had received from Mr. Berger. In the four days that we spent in the New
York Public Library, we explored every possibility of finding any evidence
of authenticity of these quotations. But both phoney quotations are still
receiving widespread circulation-internationally-while occasionally there
are weak and insipid refutations on a very limited and inadequate scale.»

«No gassing took place in any camp on Germany soil.» (Nazi-Hunter Simon
Wisenthal, in his Books and Bookmen, p. 5)
RESPONSE

Note that this not the actual quote which is reproduced below. Note also
that it says that no extermination camps on German soil, not that there were
no concentration camps. Extermination camps were in Poland and were
specifically designed to murder large numbers of people whilst in
concentration camps people were employed as slave labour and died of
incidental means such as being worked to death, starvation and disease, as
well as random murders. It also doesn’t mean that there were no murders in
Germany. It simply means that there were no dedicated, specialised murder
centers.
Below is the original letter to the editor from Simon Wiesenthal to «Books
and Bookmen,» April 1975, Vol. 20, No.7, p.5 from which the above quote is
meant to have come.
«In reply to Colin Wilson’s letter (b&b Feb on The Myth of the Six Million),
it is no myth, it is rather sad that thirty years after the fall of the
Third Reich there are still doubts as to the enormity of Nazi-Crimes.
Hundreds of trials have taken place against persons who helped to clean
Europe and the world of human vermin. No SS-man accused of these deeds in
court has yet denied the existence of Gas-Chambers and their usage. His
usual defence was–he had to obey orders.
The Commandant of Treblinka, Franz Stangl, admitted at his trial in 1968 in
Dusseldorf, that they had gassed eighteen thousand people a day. The
accusation was that he was responsible for the death of four hundred
thousand people. But during the proceedings a German Scientist proved that
the real figure was nearer nine hundred thousand. I’m quoting this case in
particular because all the facts are today completely documented. Anybody
who has doubts is welcome to look into it. The other two extermination camps
were Sobibor and Belzec. In these camps they killed two million Jews.
The Commandant of Auschwitz, Hoess, declared in court, that between three to
four million people were exterminated in his camp. We know today that in all
eleven million people, not all Jews, of the civilian population were
murdered by the Nazis in occupied countries, mainly in Eastern Europe.
Scientific researchers and historians in various countries reached the firm
conclusion, based on German documents, that the figure of exterminated Jews
was between five million eight hundred thousand and six million two hundred
thousand. They agree to a round figure of six million.
Eichmann in his trial spoke of five million and yet he was only responsible
for part of the extermination of the Jews. The dead of the ‘Einsatzgruppen’
in the East and the dead of Gas-Lorries were not part of Eichmann’s
programme.
Because there were no extermination camps on German soil the Neo-Nazis are
using this as proof that these crimes did not happen and furthermore exhibit
witnesses from German Labour-Camps who have never seen mass-extermination.

For political reasons the Neo-Nazis try to diminish the blame of Germans
towards Jews. This has been taken very lightly by Historians and by Jews
alike, which is wrong. The circulation of the Neo-Nazi-istic writings with
their malicious and ridiculous arguments connot be prevented. They find
sometimes an echo in some countries. Goebbels always recommended–repeat a
lie often enough and people will come to believe it.
They also declared that the Diary of Anna Frank was an invention until one
day I succeeded in finding the policeman in Holland who had Anna Frank
arrested. Today the Neo-Nazis have no more to say about the subject of Anna
Frank.
We would be glad if the Myth of the six million was a myth. Unfortunately it
is not, it is a tragic reality.
Simon Wiesenthal
Vienna
The following is the reply from the Wiesenthal Center:
From http://www.wiesenthal.com/resource/revision.htm
12. Didn’t Simon Wiesenthal himself state that there were no extermination
camps in Germany?
The Nazis classified their many hundreds of concentration camps on their
basis of their primary function. In a very real sense, all were death camps
because the death of the inmates, whether through overwork,
starvation/disease, or outright murder, was ultimately expected.
Those sites, however, which functioned as extermination centers
(Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Majdanek, Sobibor, Belzec, and Chelmno),
were specially equipped for the gassing of hundreds of thousands of victims
each (millions altogether). All of these camps were located in Poland, and
for good reason. Poland had far more Jews than Germany and the rest of
Western Europe combined. The Nazis also felt that the relative remoteness of
Poland’s rural areas would also minimize reports of mass murder taking place
there.

David S. Maddison (maddison@connexus.net.au)
Professor Levene’s response is as follows:
The exact reference is Cicero, «Pro Flacco» 66-69. But this passage does not
appear there in this form: the quoter has without acknowledgement strung
together a set of sentences each taken from a different part of Cicero’s
argument. This significantly distorts what Cicero is saying. Thus the person
who «scorns» the Jews is not Cicero (as the quote implies), but the
defendant Flaccus. And in the final sentence, the person who is seeking to
«stir up hatreds» is not the Jews, but the Roman prosecuting counsel (it
isn’t «they» in the original Latin).
The passage (or at least the first two sentences of it) is of course still
anti-Semitic; but I should perhaps explain a little about the background in
order that one can see how Cicero came to say this. Flaccus was the Roman
governor of Asia Minor, and was accused by the local Greek inhabitants of
extortion (he was almost certainly guilty). The case came to trial in 59
B.C.E: Cicero was not only the leading barrister of the day, but also
Flaccus’ political ally, and so defended him.
Much of the speech is spent by Cicero in a virulent xenophobic attack on
Asian Greeks in order to impugn their reliability as witnesses. He then very
briefly refers to a subsidiary accusation against Flaccus by Jews, which the
prosecutor had alluded to in passing to support his case; and accordingly
Cicero there switches his attack to Jews: but that is a minor side-issue in
the case, and he drops the subject after barely a page.
The point is that it was normal in trials in Roman lawcourts for provincial
corruption for the defence to appeal to the Roman jury’s xenophobia by
indulging in racial attacks on the provincials. Thus as well as attacking
Greeks and (briefly) Jews in this speech, Cicero spent a good deal of his
earlier speech «Pro Fonteio» attacking Gauls (who were there the chief
accusers), and in his later speech «Pro Scauro» he spent his time attacking
Sardinians.
In short, while certainly anti-Semitic in part, this passage tells us
nothing about Cicero’s real views about Jews (or Greeks, Gauls or
Sardinians). It simply tells us the methods that, as an experienced
barrister, he thought would be effective in achieving an acquittal for his
client.

the Blacks to rise to prominence in every walk of life and in the world of

This is a famous forgery. It was read into the Congessional Record by
Mississippi Congessman T.G. Abernathy in June 1957 allegedly taken from a
book called «A Racial Program for the Twentieth Century» (you can’t even get
the title right) which was supposedly published by Englishman Israel Cohen
in 1912. In August 1958 New York Congressman A.J. Multer questioned the
quotation’s authenticity. He pointed out that there was NO communist party
in Britain in 1912 and that the expression «Communist Party» did not come
into use until AFTER WWI and that no such book was ever written or could be
found in the British Museum Catalogue of Printed Books or the Library of
Congress. Also, there was no record of a person called Israel Cohen who was
a communist that lived in Britain.
Multer read into the Congressional Record an articled called «Story of a
Phony Quotation – A Futile Effort to Pin it Down…» and an article about it
appeared in the Washington Star, Feb 18, 1958. The Star traced the phony
quote to, guess who?…Eustace Mullins, Jr! who claimed to have copied it
from a Zionist publication in the Library of Congress in 1952. However,
Multer noted that «He was discharged years ago from his probationary job as
a photographic aid in the Library of Congress because of his authorship and
circulation of violently anti-Semitic articles.

Thanks; it did sound a lot more like something written by a racist in the
1957 than something written by a Jewish author in 1912.
«The systematic attempts that are now being made to identify the Jews of
Russia with the Bolshevists, to represent Bolshevism as a Jewish movement,
and thus to hold up the entire Jewish people to obloquy and attack, are
based solely upon the fact that a certain number of prominent Bolshevist
Commissaries are of Jewish birth. Upon this fact, which has never been
denied, have been built up all sorts of fanatastic accusations, such as that
the Jews wish to wreak revenge upon Russia for the persecutions under
Tsardom, and that they aim at sweeping away Christian civilization so as to
enthrone Judaism as the dominant faith throughout the world. How utterly
absurd these calumnies are, and how grotesquely exaggerated are most of the
stories of Jewish participation in Bolshevism can be proved by an
unimpassioned examination of the ascertainable facts and figures.»
I was going to ask «who wrote that,» but I guess that given the thread, this
would be pretty obvious, so I’ll just say it: Israel Cohen did, in the
_Jewish Chronicle_ of London, on December 12, 1919, in an article titled THE
«JEW-BOLSHEVIST» LIE. Chris «Flip» Carpenter can sure pick them. By the way,
the rest of the article is an extremely lucid and convincing debunking of,
well, Chris Carpenter, or at least people who sound a lot like him.
Antisemitism has obviously not changed very much in 80 years; you really
couldn’t tell that the article was written that long ago, and most of the
«facts and figures» are still perfectly valid.

Anti-Semites have been fond of quoting this statement, which they say,
Stephen Wise prominent New York rabbi and Zionist leader, once made.
Actually, Rabbi Wise was a life-long foe of Communism; and an official at
Manhattan’s Hebrew Union College, where Wise’s papers are kept, reported
that no such statement appears anywhere in Wise’s writings. Even George
Lincoln Rockwell, American Nazi leader, was forced to admit it was a fake

«[Jews were] fomenting a general plague on the whole world.» (Claudis, Roman

available in similar form from many sources, but not necessarily with the

Professor Levene’s response is as follows:
The quote has been utterly mangled, and in context doesn’t mean anything
like what the quoters here are suggesting. They don’t help one find it, of
course, by the miscitation: the Emperor’s name was Claudius, and it is
misleading to cite it as «Epistolas», as if it came from some published
collection of Claudius’ letters (no such collection exists). It comes from
an official communication of Claudius to the people of Alexandria that was
discovered on papyrus in the 1920s. It should either be cited by its first
publication (P. Lond. 1912), or else from one of the standard documentary
collections: e.g. Corpus Papyrorum Judaicarum II (Harvard, 1960) no. 153, or
E.M. Smallwood, «Documents Illustrating the Principates of Gaius, Claudius
and Nero» (Cambridge, 1967), no. 370.
The letter (in Greek) dates from November 41 C.E. There had recently been
major violence and rioting in Alexandria between the Greek and the Jewish
inhabitants, and Claudius wrote this letter aimed at both communities. The
letter is very long, and I shan’t quote it all, but the essence is that he
refuses to lay the blame for the violence on either side, but insists that
both are responsible for keeping the peace in future. He orders the Greeks
to respect the Jewish religion in future, and to stop their attacks on it:
he insists that the Jews have the right to practise their religion
peacefully. He then orders the Jews to stop agitating for extra civic rights
in Alexandria, and to stop bringing more people into the city from Syria and
Egypt, but to be content with what they already have. He then says:
«*If they do not*, I shall in all respects punish them *like* [kathaper]
fomenters of some sort of general plague of the whole inhabited world.»
[Emphasis mine].
In other words, Claudius is not saying that the Alexandrian Jews *were*
fomenting such a «plague», but is threatening them that *if* they do not
cease from these actions that he regards as provocative, he will punish them
*as if* they were fomenting a plague (he has likewise earlier in the letter
threatened the Greeks with punishment if they do not give up *their*
provocative actions). Quite a different matter, as you see.

[..] First of all, this is not a quote at all, but at the most an extremely
tendentious paraphrase, and the second sentence is a complete invention.
Second, this particular issue – actually, it is a color supplement to the
magazine – is devoted to the topic of «non-Jewish opinions about Jews.» To
that end, it consists of articles by various non-Jewish guest commentators;
e.g. it has an article by Georges Clemenceau. The opinions in the quote
above are contained (but not in such extreme form, or in those words) in an
article by one Tsvetan Tonjoroff, of whom I have never heard (and, more
tellingly, neither have any biographical references that I’ve been able to
search). So I really can’t say why he was invited to submit an article.
There is not the slightest indication that his opinion is shared by the
staff of _American Hebrew_, any Jews, or what have you. In fact, this issue
– and many of the previous ones – contain articles that debunk the usual
antisemitic lie that Bolshevism is Jewish, discuss the serious situation of
Jews in early Soviet Russia, quote from respected sources (e.g. General
Kolchak, if I recall), and so on.

«Professional anti-Semites are continually discovering secret Jewish
«conspiracies» with which to inflame the passions of their ignorant
followers. Simple-minded people avidly accept simple-minded explanation that
all of the world’s troubles caused by the Jews. There is a regular business
of producing forged Jewish documents, and it is very plain to any serious
student that hate peddlers have scoured the earth in search of «documents»
which are then placed in files, for use at appropriate times. Thus we find
that a reactionary magazine, Revue De Paris, in its issue of June 1, 1928,
carried a long and Prime article in French, whose translated title is «The
Secret Origins of Bolshevism: Henry Heine and Karl Marx.» It is a vicious,
anti-Semitic article, which tells of a Jewish «conspiracy» to conquer the
world and then ties this imaginary conspiracy to Communism. As part of its
«proof,» it quotes from an alleged letter from one, Baruch Levy, to Karl
Marx, the co-founder of the modern Communist movement. Nowhere in the
article is there any inkling of who Baruch Levy could possibly be, excepting
that he is referred to as a Neo-Messianist (whatever that is supposed to
denote). The Baruch Levy «letter» outlines a Jewish plan to take over the
world. Nowhere in the writings of Karl Marx is there any mention of Baruch
Levy and/or his alleged letter. In fact, one can be reasonably certain Marx
would have consigned it to the incinerator, if such a letter had reached
him. Revue De Paris does not state where it obtained the alleged letter. The
obvious reason -that it is a fraud- can easily be deduced from the inte al
evidence. Its leitmotif is almost identical with the central theme of the
Rabbi Rabinovich fabrication (which we have already discussed) and the
fraudulent Protocols of the Elders of Zion (which we will soon examine). In
other words, any sane person, who has a knowledge of history, can readily
recognize the Baruch Levy letter as a palpable fraud.
Thirty-seven years later, Hal Hunt quoted the Baruch Levy letter on the
front page of his hate sheet, National Chronicle of March 11, 1965, along
with the Kol Nidre hoax and other fraudulent items. How did the editor of a
small-circulation sheet obtain an article from a Parisian magazine and how
did he obtain an English translation of this essay? The answers are obvious
to anyone who does research into the propaganda techniques of the hate
publications: it is a stock item, which travels from -one hate publication
to another, because the members of this fraternity read and dote on each
other’s fulminations. The Baruch Levy hoax has appeared periodically, and
will probably continue to be used until there is no longer a market for this
kind of merchandise.
We asked Dr. Herbert Aptheker, Director of the American Institute for
Marxist Studies, to do some additional research about the alleged letter
from Baruch Levy to Karl Marx. In a letter, dated September 5, 1967, Dr.
Aptheker stated:
I have examined five of the biographies of Marx . . . including those by
Mehring, Ruhle, Postgate, Eastman, Lewis . . . and find no mention of
anything in any way resembling the material you quote from Baruch Levy. In
all my reading in Marxism … considerable for about 33 years . . . I have
never seen anything remotely like that. Let me add that I have examined the
indexes of all 6 volumes . . . Volumes 27 through 32 . . . of the
Marx-Engels Werke (Dietz Verlag, Berlin, 1963-1965) and find no mention of a
Baruch Levy or any indication of any letter in any way similar to that you
mention. These are the volumes which contain the letters . . . Briefe . . .
of Marx and Engels, commencing in 1842 and going through 1870 (all so far
published). I think one may therefore say great confidence that the letter
is a hoax, as one would believe in any case from its contents.»
