ZIONISM versus BOLSHEVISM.
A STRUGGLE FOR THE SOUL OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
By the Re. Hon. WINSTON S. CHURCHILL
Some people like Jews and some do not; but no thoughtful man can
doubt the fact that they are beyond all question the most formidable
and the most remarkable race which has ever appeared in the world.
Disraeli, the Jew Prime Minister of England, and Leader of the
Conservative Party, who was always true to his race and proud of his
origin, said on a well-known occasion: "The Lord deals with the
nations as the nations deal with the Jews." Certainly when we look at
the miserable state of Russia, where of all countries in the world
the Jews were the most cruelly treated, and contrast it with the
fortunes of our own country, which seems to have been so
providentially preserved amid the awful perils of these times, we
must admit that nothing that has since happened in the history of the
world has falsified the truth of Disraeli's confident assertion.
Good and Bad Jews.
The conflict between good and evil which proceeds unceasingly in the breast of man
nowhere reaches such an intensity as in the Jewish race. The dual nature of mankind is
nowhere more strongly or more terribly exemplified.
We owe to the Jews in the Christian revelation a system of ethics which, even if it
were entirely separated from the supernatural, would be incomparably the most precious
possession of mankind, worth in fact the fruits o
f all other wisdom and learning put together. On that system and by that faith there
has been built out of the wreck of the Roman Empire the whole of our existing
civilization.
And it may well be that this same astounding race may at the present time he in the
actual process of producing another system of morals and philosophy, as malevolent as
Christianity was benevolent, which, if not arrested
, would shatter irretrievably all that Christianity has rendered possible. It would
almost seem as if the gospel of Christ and the gospel of Antichrist were destined to
originate among the same people; and that this mysti
c and mysterious race had been chosen for the supreme manifestations, both of the
divine and the diabolical.
'National' Jews.
There can be no greater mistake than to attribute to each individual a recognizable
share in the qualities which make up the national character. There are all sorts of
men -- good, bad and, for the most part, indifferent
-- in every country, and in every race. Nothing is more wrong than to deny to an
individual, on account of race or origin, his right to be judged on his personal
merits and conduct. In a people of peculiar genius like the
Jews, contrasts are more vivid, the extremes are more widely separated, the resulting
consequences are more decisive.
At the present fateful period there are three main lines of political conception among
the Jews. two of which are helpful and hopeful in a very high degree to humanity, and
the third absolutely destructive.
First there are the Jews who, dwelling in every country throughout the world, identify
themselves with that country, enter into its national life and, while adhering
faithfully to their own religion, regard themselves as
citizens in the fullest sense of the State which has received them. Such a Jew living
in England would say, "I am an English man practising the Jewish faith." This is a
worthy conception, and useful in the highest degree.
We in Great Britain well know that during the great struggle the influence of what
may be called the "National Jews" in many lands was cast preponderatingly on the side
of the Allies; and in our own Army Jewish soldiers
have played a most distinguished part, some rising to the command of armies, others
winning the Victoria Cross for valour.
The National Russian Jews, in spite of the disabilities under which they have
suffered, have managed tn play an honorable and useful part in the national life even
of Russia. As bankers and industrialists they have strenu
ously promoted the development of Russia's economic resources, and they were foremost
in the creation of those remarkable organizations, the Russian Co-operative Societies.
In politics their support has been given, for th
e most part, to liberal and progressive movements, and they have been among the
staunchest upholder of friendship with France and Great Britain.
International Jews.
In violent opposition to all this sphere of Jewish effort rise the schemes of the
International Jews. The adherents of this sinister confederacy are mostly men reared
up among the unhappy populations of countries where Je
ws are persecuted on account of their race. Most, if not all, of them have forsaken
the faith of their forefathers, and divorced from their minds all spiritual hopes of
the next world. This movement among the Jews is not
new. From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky
(Russia), Bela Kun (Hungary), Rosa Luxembourg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United
States), this world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow
of civilization and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested
development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily
growing. It played, as a modern writer, Mrs. Webster, has so a
bly shown, a definitely recognizable part in the tragedy of the French Revolution. It
has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the Nineteenth Century;
and now at last this band of extraordinary personal
ities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the
Russian people by the hair of their heads and have become practically the undisputed
masters of that enormous empire.
Terrorist Jews.
There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in
the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution, by these international and for
the most part atheistical Jews, it is certainly a ver
y great one; it probably outweighs all others. With the notable exception of Lenin,
the majority of the leading figures are Jews. Moreover, the principal inspiration and
driving power comes from the Jewish leaders. Thus T
chitcherin, a pure Russian, is eclipsed by his nominal subordinate Litvinoff, and the
influence of Russians like Bukharin or Lunacharski cannot be compared with the power
of Trotsky, or of Zinovieff, the Dictator of the R
ed Citadel (Petrograd) or of Krassin or Radek -- all Jews. In the Soviet institutions
the predominance of Jews is even more astonishing. And the prominent, if not indeed
the principal, part in the system of terrorism appl
ied by the Extraordinary Commissions for Combating Counter-Revolution has been taken
by Jews, and in some notable cases by Jewesses. The same evil prominence was obtained
by Jews in the brief period of terror during which
Bela Kun ruled in Hungary. The same phenomenon has been presented in Germany
(especially in Bavaria), so far as this madness has been allowed to prey upon the
temporary prostration of the German people. Although in all t
hese countries there are many non-Jews every whit as bad as the worst of the Jewish
revolutionaries, the part played by the latter in proportion to their numbers in the
population is astonishing.
'Protector of the Jews.'
Needless to say, the most intense passions of revenge have been excited in the breasts
of the Russian people. Wherever General Denikin's authority could reach, protection
was always accorded to the Jewish population, and
strenuous efforts were made by his officers to prevent reprisals and to punish those
guilty of them. So much was this the case that the Petlurist propaganda against
General Denikin denounced him as the Protector of the Je
ws. The Misses Healy, nieces of Mr. Tim Healy, in relating their personal experiences
in Kieff, have declared that to their knowledge on more than one occasion officers who
committed offenses against Jews were reduced to
the ranks and sent out of the city to the front. But the hordes of brigands by whom
the whole. vast expanse of the Russian Empire is becoming infested do not hesitate to
gratify their lust for blood and for revenge at the
expense of the innocent Jewish population whenever an opportunity occurs. The brigand
Makhno, the hordes of Petlura and of Gregorieff, who signalized their every success by
the most brutal massacres, everywhere found amo
ng the half-stupefied, half-infuriated population an eager response to anti-Semitism
in its worst and foulest forms.
The fact that in many cases Jewish interests and Jewish places of worship are excepted
by the Bolsheviks from their universal hostility has tended more and more to associate
the Jewish race in Russia with the villainies,
which are now being perpetrated. This is an injustice on millions of helpless people,
most of whom are themselves sufferers from the revolutionary regime. It becomes,
therefore, specially important to foster and develop a
ny strongly-marked Jewish movement which leads directly away from these fatal
associations. And it is here that Zionism has such a deep significance for the whole
world at the present time.
A Home for the Jews.
Zionism offers the third sphere to the political conceptions of the Jewish race. In
violent contrast to international communism, it presents to the Jew a national idea of
a commanding character. it has fallen to the Briti
sh Government, as the result of the conquest of Palestine, to have the opportunity and
the responsibility of securing for the Jewish race all over the world a home and
centre of national life. The statesmanship and histor
ic sense of Mr. Balfour were prompt to seize this opportunity. Declarations have now
been made which have irrevocably decided the policy of Great Britain. The fiery
energies of Dr. Weissmann, the leader, for practical pur
poses, of the Zionist project. backed by many of the most prominent British Jews, and
supported by the full authority of Lord Allenby, are all directed to achieving the
success of this inspiring movement.
Of course, Palestine is far too small to accommodate more than a fraction of the
Jewish race, nor do the majority of national Jews wish to go there. But if, as may
well happen, there should be created in our own lifetime
by the banks of the Jordan a Jewish State under the protection of the British Crown,
which might comprise three or four millions of Jews, an event would have occurred in
the history of the world which would, from every po
int of view, be beneficial, and would be especially in harmony with the truest
interests of the British Empire.
Zionism has already become a factor in the political convulsions of Russia, as a
powerful competing influence in Bolshevik circles with the international communistic
system. Nothing could be more significant than the fury
with which Trotsky has attacked the Zionists generally, and Dr. Weissmann in
particular. The cruel penetration of his mind leaves him in no doubt that his schemes
of a world-wide communistic State under Jewish domination
are directly thwarted and hindered by this new ideal, which directs the energies and
the hopes of Jews in every land towards a simpler, a truer, and a far more attainable
goal. The struggle which is now beginning between
the Zionist and Bolshevik Jews is little less than a struggle for the soul of the
Jewish people.
Duty of Loyal Jews.
It is particularly important in these circumstances that the national Jews in every
country who are loyal to the land of their adoption should come forward on every
occasion, as many of them in England have already done,
and take a prominent part in every measure for combating the
Bolshevik conspiracy. In this way they will be able to vindicate the
honor of the Jewish name and make it clear to all the world that the
Bolshevik movement is not a Jewish movement, but is repudiated
vehemently by the great mass of the Jewish race.
But a negative resistance to Bolshevism in any field is not enough.
Positive and practicable alternatives are needed in the moral as well
as in the social sphere; and in building up with the utmost possible
rapidity a Jewish national centre in Palestine which may become not
only a refuge to the oppressed from the unhappy lands of Central
Europe, but which will also be a symbol of Jewish unity and the
temple of Jewish glory, a task is presented on which many blessings
rest.
